Wang Xifeng's Rebirth [Red Mansion]
Chapter 159
No one knows what Jia Lian and Su Gonggong said in the study.Jia Lian didn't say anything, and Wang Xifeng didn't ask, both of them knew that there were some things that couldn't be put into words, so they simply kept their mouths shut.But since that day, Jia Lian's life has become very busy.
Compared with Jia Lian's busyness, the atmosphere in Jia's mansion is good.More than two years is enough to let the original grief go away with the wind, even if you occasionally feel a little sad when you think about it, no one will feel sad about it anymore.It can be said that the entire Jia family is busy with the removal of filial piety and obedience after a few months. As for Jia Zheng's passing, no one mentions it.Even Jia Mu, who was supposed to be the most distressed, never noticed those strange things because of everyone's white lies.It's not that everyone concealed it well, but that Jia Mu, who had another stroke, became a little unclear.
As a result, Mrs. Xing jumped even more anxiously.
It doesn't matter whether Jia Zheng is dead or not.Even if the juniors like Jia Lian have to keep their filial piety for nine months, Mrs. Xing herself doesn't need it.That is to say, Mrs. Xing can marry Yingchun after taking off her clothes in April.As for the date of marriage, it only needs to be after October.Counting the days, not only will Yingchun's marriage not be delayed at all, but it will be even more leisurely.
But if Jia Mu also followed, it would be a lot of fun.
Fortunately, after two years of filial piety, Yingchun's dowry has been sorted out in sevens and eighties, and now there is only one husband's family left.
Mrs. Xing knew that her natal family was unreliable. Fortunately, she had been married to the Rongguo Mansion for many years. Although she could not be said to be close friends, she still had some face.After wandering around for half a day, Mrs. Xing compiled a list, first tentatively asked Yingchun's opinion, and then went to look for Wang Xifeng with her cuffs.
Although these days, Jia Lian has been so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, but Wang Xifeng's little life is still leisurely and leisurely. At most, he is driving sister Qiao to death every day. a stack.When Mrs. Xing came over, Wang Xifeng was still sitting in the East Nuan Pavilion, with a hand warmer in her arms, jujube tea in her hands, and five or six plates of snacks and dried fruits by her side. She only glanced at Miss Qiao from time to time.
"Brother Feng, are you busy?"
Feng'er lifted the curtain to let Mrs. Xing in. Seeing the scene inside, Mrs. Xing laughed first, and even the anxious mood just now seemed to calm down, and said: "Brother Qiao is much better now, it's still Brother Feng You have a way."
Sister Qiao raised her head to look at Mrs. Xing with a bitter face, and immediately felt a chill behind her back, and without looking back, she immediately lowered her head and continued to draw red.
Wang Xifeng stood up with a smile on her face, welcomed Mrs. Xing into the room and sat down, then called Feng'er to serve new tea, and said with a smile: "Madam, you don't know, sister Qiao's temper is a bit rough. I was thinking, now she It’s not too big, so I’ll learn all the commonly used characters first, and when the weather gets warmer, I’ll find someone to teach her needlework. Next year, I’ll teach her poetry and calligraphy with Sister Yanglin.”
"That's a good relationship. Speaking of which, I see that Daiyu and the fourth girl are quite close. They even wrote poems and paintings together before. It's very good." Mrs. Xing smiled.
Now, Yingchun and Xichun can't play together anymore, after all, they are five years apart, so it was not so much the sisters playing, but Yingchun taking care of Xichun and Qiaojie.Now, sister Qiao was detained in front of Wang Xifeng, and Yingchun was ordered by Mrs. Xing to stay in the room to embroider the dowry, which made Daiyu and Xichun's relationship much better.
"Isn't it?" Wang Xifeng said, glanced at the somewhat sluggish Qiaojie, and coughed lightly, causing Qiaojie to work hard again immediately, without thinking about how miserable her future would be.
"By the way, I'm here to look for Brother Feng, you are for the marriage of the second girl." Mrs. Xing gave Wang Xifeng the list that she had copied earlier from her cuff, and said expectantly, "This is the one I was looking for earlier. I touched them, there are eight in total, and I think they are all pretty good. However, I still want Brother Feng to take a look, so as not to waste the second girl's life."
"Then I'll have to take a closer look."
Finding a marriage for Yingchun is a serious matter, Wang Xifeng dare not be careless.In fact, if it was put on the other side, they were all begged by a family with hundreds of daughters, but when it was put on Yingchun, it changed a little bit.The main reason for this is not Yingchun's background, but the situation of the Jia family.
how to say?
In the past, when the family was not separated, Jia's mansion was the eldest house of the dignified Duke's mansion. Even if Yingchun's background was not as good as that of a legitimate daughter-in-law, it was still more than the top and the bottom.It's a pity that now Jia's Mansion has broken away from Rongguo Mansion, and it's a shame that something happened to Rongguo Mansion just now!In this way, I am afraid that Yingchun's marriage will be a little tricky.
Wang Xifeng looked down one by one according to the list given by Mrs. Xing.To be honest, Mrs. Xing is really interested in Yingchun, just look at this list to know a thing or two.Apart from other things, apart from the names and family backgrounds, it also specifically marked the family style, temperament, and even whether there is a concubine in the room.
In fact, for Wang Xifeng, it really doesn't matter if there are people in the room before they get married, the big deal is to drive them all out after they get married.But because of Li Wan's precedent and the tragedy of welcoming the Spring Festival in her previous life, Wang Xifeng didn't have any hope for it.I deeply think that instead of looking forward to the ability to welcome the spring, it is better to find an honest one directly.
only……
"Ma'am, are you going to choose one of them?" Wang Xifeng hurried through, with obvious hesitation on his face.She can be sure that Mrs. Xing is really good for Yingchun, but she is even more sure that this list is completely useless.
"Is there any problem here?" Although Mrs. Xing is not as shrewd as Wang Xifeng, she is not so stupid that she can't understand her face at all. It is not necessary to pick someone from the top, if there is a better one, it is naturally the best."
Wang Xifeng pondered for a while, thinking about how to speak, and then said slowly: "Madam, the second master Lian is very busy these days, Madam, have you noticed?" Seeing Madam Xing nodding in agreement, Wang Xifeng said again, "Before, a distinguished guest came to our house, it was...a father-in-law."
"What?" Mrs. Xing's face turned pale from being bluffed, "What's the matter? Brother Feng, please tell me."
"In fact, I don't really know the specifics. There are some things that the second master Lian wouldn't tell me. It's just that I thought, we are all courtiers, so it's not just what the superiors say? Think about it carefully, last year What kind of misfortune has become of that family of historians? Look again, what is left of the Rongguo Mansion today. Not to mention the Xue family, which was only supported by relatives, and the Wang family who risked everything to escape... ...Madam, the second younger sister cannot marry into the family of old friends."
In fact, Wang Xifeng was really aggrieved.It can only be said that Mrs. Xing has a little bit of good intentions to do bad things. The people she picks don't look bad, but the problem is that she blindly picks from the old friends of the Rongguo Mansion.
Old friend!
The first on the list is the second son of the Jiangnan Zeng family's collateral line, but you must know that the first unlucky person in the previous life was the Zeng family.The others all fell into today's hands.If Yingchun is really allowed to marry, it is estimated that the family will be ransacked and wiped out later.But Wang Xifeng can't always say that the people you always pick will be killed by today's people in the future, so she can only be very aggrieved by presenting the facts and reasoning, trying to persuade Mrs. Xing to change her mind.
Mrs. Xing was really convinced, and Wang Xifeng didn't make any effort, so she said in surprise, fear and happiness: "It's lucky to have Brother Feng in your hands, otherwise I would have killed the second girl. Brother Feng Son, why don't you help me take a look at the family? There is no other request, the family style is better, as long as the son-in-law, then the young couple can live a good life, don't ask for great wealth."
"I'll find out first, Madam, don't worry, we still have at least half a year." Wang Xifeng comforted.
Unfortunately, these words did not comfort Mrs. Xing at all, she just gave a wry smile and said: "What I am most afraid of now is that the old lady will have a good or bad life, I just pray to God every day, and ask the old lady to live a long life! "
Whether Jia Zheng is dead or not has nothing to do with the Jia family.To put it bluntly, the two families have separated, and even if they want to keep their filial piety, it is Jia Lian, the eldest grandson.Yingchun is just a girl's house, so it's just a matter of meaning, no one will care.But if Jia's mother is gone, then Jia's mansion will wear hemp belts and respect filial piety.Mrs. Xing, Jia Lian, and Wang Xifeng all have to observe filial piety for three years.Yingchun, Xichun, Conger, Qiaojie, and Ronggeer all belong to one year.Daiyu didn't care, for her grandmother's words, at best, it was only five months of filial piety.But the problem is, the three at the top have kept their filial piety for three years, who will arrange the marriage for the girls at the bottom?
Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Xing looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness and hardship in each other's eyes.In any case, they had to get Yingchun and Daiyu out of the house before Jia Mu passed away.Xichun and Cong'er don't care, but a three-year delay is completely affordable.As for Sister Qiao and Brother Rong, stay where they are cooler!
Perhaps God knew about Wang Xifeng's helplessness, and the good news came when the first month was about to come.
But it was the nurse of Wang Xifeng's mother, Mrs. Xu.
"Feng girl! You cheated on me again!" Although Madam Xu was over [-] years old, her body was very strong, and her voice was extremely loud. Once she arrived in the back yard, she shouted at the top of her voice, "Good job, Phoenix!" Girl, you dared to cheat even me, it's a good thing you didn't succeed, otherwise I wouldn't need my old face!"
"Yo yo, what's wrong with you, Madam Xu? Even if I cheated on my second master Lian, I can't cheat you!" Wang Xifeng got up to greet the voice, but suddenly saw the people behind Xu Nanny , Immediately choked.
Behind Nanny Xu... Jia Lian chuckled, stretched out her hand to help Nanny Xu into the main hall, and looked back at Wang Xifeng: "Brother Feng, why don't you keep talking, who else are you trying to trick?"
"Second Master Lian, are you not busy anymore?" Wang Xifeng cast a sidelong glance at Jia Lian, and said angrily, "Since you are free, go to Dongnuange to help me watch over Miss Qiao, don't wait until you are inattentive, that little girl will go to the room again It's broken."
Jia Lian suppressed a smile and went directly to Dongnang Pavilion.But after a while, Wang Xifeng and Mother Xu also came over.Jia Lian wondered, "You don't trust me so much?"
"Where is it? Mother Xu wants to see Qiaojie." Wang Xifeng looked helplessly at Mother Xu, but the latter completely ignored her and walked straight up to sister Qiao, looking her up and down, but then she was full of mouth son's compliment.
"Good girl, she looks better than your mother back then. No wonder, your mother is like your grandmother, but you are like your father and mother. You look so good-looking." Xu Momo heard this at first. Some are unclear, but it is easy to understand after thinking about it carefully.Wang Xifeng looks like her mother, which means that her father looks worrying.On the contrary, Sister Qiao has inherited the advantages of Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian. When she was a child, she only thought she was cute, but when she was a little older, she could easily see that she was a little beauty.
Sister Qiao was used to looking at people's faces, and her small mouth was as sweet as honey wiped. After a few words, she coaxed Madam Xu until she couldn't see her eyes.Hearing this, Wang Xifeng had goose bumps all over her body, and she almost lost her teeth.
After laughing for a while, Nanny Xu let Qiaojie go to paint red, while she talked to Wang Xifeng about the serious matter.
"Before, Brother Feng, didn't you ask me to talk about your sister's marriage? I inquired for you, and the Xu family was very happy. However, because the matter didn't work out, I was vague. It's so lucky A few days ago, my grandson, who was in charge of the Xu family, came to the Wang family to look for me, saying that the master of the Xu family asked him to find out whether your sister, Feng Geer, belongs to your house or Rong The one at the other end of the country! Tell me, what do you tell me? How do you say it!"
Wang Xifeng's complexion changed slightly, but then he let out a long sigh, and said, "I'm really embarrassing Mammy, this matter..." Suddenly, Wang Xifeng's heart moved, and the topic changed immediately, "Then I will trouble Mammy to tell the Xu family Say, it's the girl in my room, she was originally a concubine, but she was recorded under the wife's name since she was a child, she was raised by the old lady a few years ago, but now she is being raised by the wife."
"Have you changed your mind?" Of course, Madam Xu knew that Wang Xifeng didn't say that, but she also knew Wang Xifeng's temperament very well, so she wondered, "Is your wife willing? It's a concubine, worthy of Xu's elder brother... You have to know that the Xu family is no longer the time when the old master was there decades ago."
Back then, the Xu family was also a wealthy family.Just think about it, where can the daughter-in-law who can make the old man of the Wang family, one of the four major families, propose for the eldest son to marry?
It's a pity that time is a terrible thing. The Wang family still has a prince to support it, but the Xu family officially withdrew from the court after the old lady Xu passed away.
Seeing that Wang Xifeng was still hesitant, Nanny Xu said again: "I originally planned to talk about the second elder brother of the Xu family. After all, you were talking about the girl from the Rongguo Mansion. But if you change your mind, I might as well talk about it." The third elder brother of the Xu family. Don’t worry, they are all descendants. It’s just that the second elder brother is now nineteen and donated a five-rank vain job. Although the third elder brother is only sixteen, he passed the examination of scholar last year. can go further."
Wang Xifeng pondered for a while, then looked at Jia Lian who had never spoken, and said, "Second Master Lian, what do you think?"
Although he didn't know the cause and effect, but after hearing what he said just now, Jia Lian also understood a little bit, so he asked: "The Xu family... Xu Taizhi who was the third-rank head of the Imperial Academy?"
"Yes, that is my grandfather."
Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng deeply, and said in a daze for a while, "Then Brother Feng, tell me why your grandfather is Sanyuan Jidi, but you don't know a lot of characters?"
"Good question." Wang Xifeng narrowed his eyes and stared dangerously at Jia Lian, "Maybe Second Master Lian, you can tell me first, why your grandfather made great achievements in battle, but you can miss an arrow target ten steps away?"
……
……
The room was silent for a while, and finally Jia Lian conceded, stretched out his hand and wiped his face fiercely, and said: "I think the Xu family is pretty good, but he is different from our family, the Jia family's descendants are unworthy, and they have lost the face of their ancestors. The Xu family is purely unlucky, those who live up to it all have a short lifespan, and those who don't live up to it...cough cough, no matter how hard they live up to it, they will be better than me."
The Xu family is really unlucky, Xu Taizhi is a real old scholar, and the three yuan can show his knowledge.And among his sons, there are indeed talented people, but just as Jia Lian said, the two most up-to-date sons are both short-lived. It was an accidental death when he was released from office.The youngest son, who was the least up-to-date, will not be too young when the two elder brothers are gone, so it is useless to force him.However, Xu Taizhi himself didn't live long enough to raise his grandson.And the elder brother Xu Nanny just mentioned is Xu Taizhi's great-grandson.
Of the three great-grandchildren, the eldest was inherited from his parents. Although he is not a dandy, he really has no talent for reading. The second barely studied for a few years, and then he was donated to an official to make do with it. The third...
"I think it works." Jia Lian concluded.
"Do you want to ask your wife again?" Wang Xifeng asked.
The couple looked at each other, and quickly came to an unanimous opinion, asking Feng'er to invite Mrs. Xing to the East Nuan Pavilion.But the result is not surprising at all, Mrs. Xing is very happy, she only thinks that having a father and a mother is not as good as having it yourself, and my brother has his own ability, which is worse than the Wanguan family property left by his ancestors.And Mother Xu also clearly said that even at the peak of the Xu family, they could not be compared with the Rongguo Mansion, and they were poor in culture and military, and in terms of money alone, the Xu family was very poor.
Mrs. Xing made a final decision: "It's okay, a scholar has the benefits of a scholar, at least he won't spoil his concubine and kill his wife!"
Both Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian looked at Mrs. Xing, but you look at that old fellow Jia Zheng!However, strictly speaking, Jia Zheng did not favor his concubines and destroy his wives. In Jia Zheng's eyes, his wife was an object, but a concubine's room was not a thing.
This marriage has been decided for the time being, and of course it is still far from a real engagement.Wang Xifeng made an agreement with Madam Xu that after the Jia family came out with filial piety, the Jia family would resume contact with the Xu family, and then the two elders would discuss slowly.
In a corner where everyone didn't pay attention, Sister Qiao was giggling, and when she finally regained her freedom, she quietly slipped into the west wing of the main courtyard.
"Second aunt, sister Qiao told you..."
The author has something to say:
Today my father said to me with a serious face: You know what?The day before yesterday was Laba!
Me: ...so? !
My dad: We didn't drink porridge!
Me:_(:зゝ∠)_
Tell me, does Laba porridge really mean a bowl of porridge on Laba day?Isn't it a bowl of Laba porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month (﹃)~→
Compared with Jia Lian's busyness, the atmosphere in Jia's mansion is good.More than two years is enough to let the original grief go away with the wind, even if you occasionally feel a little sad when you think about it, no one will feel sad about it anymore.It can be said that the entire Jia family is busy with the removal of filial piety and obedience after a few months. As for Jia Zheng's passing, no one mentions it.Even Jia Mu, who was supposed to be the most distressed, never noticed those strange things because of everyone's white lies.It's not that everyone concealed it well, but that Jia Mu, who had another stroke, became a little unclear.
As a result, Mrs. Xing jumped even more anxiously.
It doesn't matter whether Jia Zheng is dead or not.Even if the juniors like Jia Lian have to keep their filial piety for nine months, Mrs. Xing herself doesn't need it.That is to say, Mrs. Xing can marry Yingchun after taking off her clothes in April.As for the date of marriage, it only needs to be after October.Counting the days, not only will Yingchun's marriage not be delayed at all, but it will be even more leisurely.
But if Jia Mu also followed, it would be a lot of fun.
Fortunately, after two years of filial piety, Yingchun's dowry has been sorted out in sevens and eighties, and now there is only one husband's family left.
Mrs. Xing knew that her natal family was unreliable. Fortunately, she had been married to the Rongguo Mansion for many years. Although she could not be said to be close friends, she still had some face.After wandering around for half a day, Mrs. Xing compiled a list, first tentatively asked Yingchun's opinion, and then went to look for Wang Xifeng with her cuffs.
Although these days, Jia Lian has been so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, but Wang Xifeng's little life is still leisurely and leisurely. At most, he is driving sister Qiao to death every day. a stack.When Mrs. Xing came over, Wang Xifeng was still sitting in the East Nuan Pavilion, with a hand warmer in her arms, jujube tea in her hands, and five or six plates of snacks and dried fruits by her side. She only glanced at Miss Qiao from time to time.
"Brother Feng, are you busy?"
Feng'er lifted the curtain to let Mrs. Xing in. Seeing the scene inside, Mrs. Xing laughed first, and even the anxious mood just now seemed to calm down, and said: "Brother Qiao is much better now, it's still Brother Feng You have a way."
Sister Qiao raised her head to look at Mrs. Xing with a bitter face, and immediately felt a chill behind her back, and without looking back, she immediately lowered her head and continued to draw red.
Wang Xifeng stood up with a smile on her face, welcomed Mrs. Xing into the room and sat down, then called Feng'er to serve new tea, and said with a smile: "Madam, you don't know, sister Qiao's temper is a bit rough. I was thinking, now she It’s not too big, so I’ll learn all the commonly used characters first, and when the weather gets warmer, I’ll find someone to teach her needlework. Next year, I’ll teach her poetry and calligraphy with Sister Yanglin.”
"That's a good relationship. Speaking of which, I see that Daiyu and the fourth girl are quite close. They even wrote poems and paintings together before. It's very good." Mrs. Xing smiled.
Now, Yingchun and Xichun can't play together anymore, after all, they are five years apart, so it was not so much the sisters playing, but Yingchun taking care of Xichun and Qiaojie.Now, sister Qiao was detained in front of Wang Xifeng, and Yingchun was ordered by Mrs. Xing to stay in the room to embroider the dowry, which made Daiyu and Xichun's relationship much better.
"Isn't it?" Wang Xifeng said, glanced at the somewhat sluggish Qiaojie, and coughed lightly, causing Qiaojie to work hard again immediately, without thinking about how miserable her future would be.
"By the way, I'm here to look for Brother Feng, you are for the marriage of the second girl." Mrs. Xing gave Wang Xifeng the list that she had copied earlier from her cuff, and said expectantly, "This is the one I was looking for earlier. I touched them, there are eight in total, and I think they are all pretty good. However, I still want Brother Feng to take a look, so as not to waste the second girl's life."
"Then I'll have to take a closer look."
Finding a marriage for Yingchun is a serious matter, Wang Xifeng dare not be careless.In fact, if it was put on the other side, they were all begged by a family with hundreds of daughters, but when it was put on Yingchun, it changed a little bit.The main reason for this is not Yingchun's background, but the situation of the Jia family.
how to say?
In the past, when the family was not separated, Jia's mansion was the eldest house of the dignified Duke's mansion. Even if Yingchun's background was not as good as that of a legitimate daughter-in-law, it was still more than the top and the bottom.It's a pity that now Jia's Mansion has broken away from Rongguo Mansion, and it's a shame that something happened to Rongguo Mansion just now!In this way, I am afraid that Yingchun's marriage will be a little tricky.
Wang Xifeng looked down one by one according to the list given by Mrs. Xing.To be honest, Mrs. Xing is really interested in Yingchun, just look at this list to know a thing or two.Apart from other things, apart from the names and family backgrounds, it also specifically marked the family style, temperament, and even whether there is a concubine in the room.
In fact, for Wang Xifeng, it really doesn't matter if there are people in the room before they get married, the big deal is to drive them all out after they get married.But because of Li Wan's precedent and the tragedy of welcoming the Spring Festival in her previous life, Wang Xifeng didn't have any hope for it.I deeply think that instead of looking forward to the ability to welcome the spring, it is better to find an honest one directly.
only……
"Ma'am, are you going to choose one of them?" Wang Xifeng hurried through, with obvious hesitation on his face.She can be sure that Mrs. Xing is really good for Yingchun, but she is even more sure that this list is completely useless.
"Is there any problem here?" Although Mrs. Xing is not as shrewd as Wang Xifeng, she is not so stupid that she can't understand her face at all. It is not necessary to pick someone from the top, if there is a better one, it is naturally the best."
Wang Xifeng pondered for a while, thinking about how to speak, and then said slowly: "Madam, the second master Lian is very busy these days, Madam, have you noticed?" Seeing Madam Xing nodding in agreement, Wang Xifeng said again, "Before, a distinguished guest came to our house, it was...a father-in-law."
"What?" Mrs. Xing's face turned pale from being bluffed, "What's the matter? Brother Feng, please tell me."
"In fact, I don't really know the specifics. There are some things that the second master Lian wouldn't tell me. It's just that I thought, we are all courtiers, so it's not just what the superiors say? Think about it carefully, last year What kind of misfortune has become of that family of historians? Look again, what is left of the Rongguo Mansion today. Not to mention the Xue family, which was only supported by relatives, and the Wang family who risked everything to escape... ...Madam, the second younger sister cannot marry into the family of old friends."
In fact, Wang Xifeng was really aggrieved.It can only be said that Mrs. Xing has a little bit of good intentions to do bad things. The people she picks don't look bad, but the problem is that she blindly picks from the old friends of the Rongguo Mansion.
Old friend!
The first on the list is the second son of the Jiangnan Zeng family's collateral line, but you must know that the first unlucky person in the previous life was the Zeng family.The others all fell into today's hands.If Yingchun is really allowed to marry, it is estimated that the family will be ransacked and wiped out later.But Wang Xifeng can't always say that the people you always pick will be killed by today's people in the future, so she can only be very aggrieved by presenting the facts and reasoning, trying to persuade Mrs. Xing to change her mind.
Mrs. Xing was really convinced, and Wang Xifeng didn't make any effort, so she said in surprise, fear and happiness: "It's lucky to have Brother Feng in your hands, otherwise I would have killed the second girl. Brother Feng Son, why don't you help me take a look at the family? There is no other request, the family style is better, as long as the son-in-law, then the young couple can live a good life, don't ask for great wealth."
"I'll find out first, Madam, don't worry, we still have at least half a year." Wang Xifeng comforted.
Unfortunately, these words did not comfort Mrs. Xing at all, she just gave a wry smile and said: "What I am most afraid of now is that the old lady will have a good or bad life, I just pray to God every day, and ask the old lady to live a long life! "
Whether Jia Zheng is dead or not has nothing to do with the Jia family.To put it bluntly, the two families have separated, and even if they want to keep their filial piety, it is Jia Lian, the eldest grandson.Yingchun is just a girl's house, so it's just a matter of meaning, no one will care.But if Jia's mother is gone, then Jia's mansion will wear hemp belts and respect filial piety.Mrs. Xing, Jia Lian, and Wang Xifeng all have to observe filial piety for three years.Yingchun, Xichun, Conger, Qiaojie, and Ronggeer all belong to one year.Daiyu didn't care, for her grandmother's words, at best, it was only five months of filial piety.But the problem is, the three at the top have kept their filial piety for three years, who will arrange the marriage for the girls at the bottom?
Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Xing looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness and hardship in each other's eyes.In any case, they had to get Yingchun and Daiyu out of the house before Jia Mu passed away.Xichun and Cong'er don't care, but a three-year delay is completely affordable.As for Sister Qiao and Brother Rong, stay where they are cooler!
Perhaps God knew about Wang Xifeng's helplessness, and the good news came when the first month was about to come.
But it was the nurse of Wang Xifeng's mother, Mrs. Xu.
"Feng girl! You cheated on me again!" Although Madam Xu was over [-] years old, her body was very strong, and her voice was extremely loud. Once she arrived in the back yard, she shouted at the top of her voice, "Good job, Phoenix!" Girl, you dared to cheat even me, it's a good thing you didn't succeed, otherwise I wouldn't need my old face!"
"Yo yo, what's wrong with you, Madam Xu? Even if I cheated on my second master Lian, I can't cheat you!" Wang Xifeng got up to greet the voice, but suddenly saw the people behind Xu Nanny , Immediately choked.
Behind Nanny Xu... Jia Lian chuckled, stretched out her hand to help Nanny Xu into the main hall, and looked back at Wang Xifeng: "Brother Feng, why don't you keep talking, who else are you trying to trick?"
"Second Master Lian, are you not busy anymore?" Wang Xifeng cast a sidelong glance at Jia Lian, and said angrily, "Since you are free, go to Dongnuange to help me watch over Miss Qiao, don't wait until you are inattentive, that little girl will go to the room again It's broken."
Jia Lian suppressed a smile and went directly to Dongnang Pavilion.But after a while, Wang Xifeng and Mother Xu also came over.Jia Lian wondered, "You don't trust me so much?"
"Where is it? Mother Xu wants to see Qiaojie." Wang Xifeng looked helplessly at Mother Xu, but the latter completely ignored her and walked straight up to sister Qiao, looking her up and down, but then she was full of mouth son's compliment.
"Good girl, she looks better than your mother back then. No wonder, your mother is like your grandmother, but you are like your father and mother. You look so good-looking." Xu Momo heard this at first. Some are unclear, but it is easy to understand after thinking about it carefully.Wang Xifeng looks like her mother, which means that her father looks worrying.On the contrary, Sister Qiao has inherited the advantages of Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian. When she was a child, she only thought she was cute, but when she was a little older, she could easily see that she was a little beauty.
Sister Qiao was used to looking at people's faces, and her small mouth was as sweet as honey wiped. After a few words, she coaxed Madam Xu until she couldn't see her eyes.Hearing this, Wang Xifeng had goose bumps all over her body, and she almost lost her teeth.
After laughing for a while, Nanny Xu let Qiaojie go to paint red, while she talked to Wang Xifeng about the serious matter.
"Before, Brother Feng, didn't you ask me to talk about your sister's marriage? I inquired for you, and the Xu family was very happy. However, because the matter didn't work out, I was vague. It's so lucky A few days ago, my grandson, who was in charge of the Xu family, came to the Wang family to look for me, saying that the master of the Xu family asked him to find out whether your sister, Feng Geer, belongs to your house or Rong The one at the other end of the country! Tell me, what do you tell me? How do you say it!"
Wang Xifeng's complexion changed slightly, but then he let out a long sigh, and said, "I'm really embarrassing Mammy, this matter..." Suddenly, Wang Xifeng's heart moved, and the topic changed immediately, "Then I will trouble Mammy to tell the Xu family Say, it's the girl in my room, she was originally a concubine, but she was recorded under the wife's name since she was a child, she was raised by the old lady a few years ago, but now she is being raised by the wife."
"Have you changed your mind?" Of course, Madam Xu knew that Wang Xifeng didn't say that, but she also knew Wang Xifeng's temperament very well, so she wondered, "Is your wife willing? It's a concubine, worthy of Xu's elder brother... You have to know that the Xu family is no longer the time when the old master was there decades ago."
Back then, the Xu family was also a wealthy family.Just think about it, where can the daughter-in-law who can make the old man of the Wang family, one of the four major families, propose for the eldest son to marry?
It's a pity that time is a terrible thing. The Wang family still has a prince to support it, but the Xu family officially withdrew from the court after the old lady Xu passed away.
Seeing that Wang Xifeng was still hesitant, Nanny Xu said again: "I originally planned to talk about the second elder brother of the Xu family. After all, you were talking about the girl from the Rongguo Mansion. But if you change your mind, I might as well talk about it." The third elder brother of the Xu family. Don’t worry, they are all descendants. It’s just that the second elder brother is now nineteen and donated a five-rank vain job. Although the third elder brother is only sixteen, he passed the examination of scholar last year. can go further."
Wang Xifeng pondered for a while, then looked at Jia Lian who had never spoken, and said, "Second Master Lian, what do you think?"
Although he didn't know the cause and effect, but after hearing what he said just now, Jia Lian also understood a little bit, so he asked: "The Xu family... Xu Taizhi who was the third-rank head of the Imperial Academy?"
"Yes, that is my grandfather."
Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng deeply, and said in a daze for a while, "Then Brother Feng, tell me why your grandfather is Sanyuan Jidi, but you don't know a lot of characters?"
"Good question." Wang Xifeng narrowed his eyes and stared dangerously at Jia Lian, "Maybe Second Master Lian, you can tell me first, why your grandfather made great achievements in battle, but you can miss an arrow target ten steps away?"
……
……
The room was silent for a while, and finally Jia Lian conceded, stretched out his hand and wiped his face fiercely, and said: "I think the Xu family is pretty good, but he is different from our family, the Jia family's descendants are unworthy, and they have lost the face of their ancestors. The Xu family is purely unlucky, those who live up to it all have a short lifespan, and those who don't live up to it...cough cough, no matter how hard they live up to it, they will be better than me."
The Xu family is really unlucky, Xu Taizhi is a real old scholar, and the three yuan can show his knowledge.And among his sons, there are indeed talented people, but just as Jia Lian said, the two most up-to-date sons are both short-lived. It was an accidental death when he was released from office.The youngest son, who was the least up-to-date, will not be too young when the two elder brothers are gone, so it is useless to force him.However, Xu Taizhi himself didn't live long enough to raise his grandson.And the elder brother Xu Nanny just mentioned is Xu Taizhi's great-grandson.
Of the three great-grandchildren, the eldest was inherited from his parents. Although he is not a dandy, he really has no talent for reading. The second barely studied for a few years, and then he was donated to an official to make do with it. The third...
"I think it works." Jia Lian concluded.
"Do you want to ask your wife again?" Wang Xifeng asked.
The couple looked at each other, and quickly came to an unanimous opinion, asking Feng'er to invite Mrs. Xing to the East Nuan Pavilion.But the result is not surprising at all, Mrs. Xing is very happy, she only thinks that having a father and a mother is not as good as having it yourself, and my brother has his own ability, which is worse than the Wanguan family property left by his ancestors.And Mother Xu also clearly said that even at the peak of the Xu family, they could not be compared with the Rongguo Mansion, and they were poor in culture and military, and in terms of money alone, the Xu family was very poor.
Mrs. Xing made a final decision: "It's okay, a scholar has the benefits of a scholar, at least he won't spoil his concubine and kill his wife!"
Both Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian looked at Mrs. Xing, but you look at that old fellow Jia Zheng!However, strictly speaking, Jia Zheng did not favor his concubines and destroy his wives. In Jia Zheng's eyes, his wife was an object, but a concubine's room was not a thing.
This marriage has been decided for the time being, and of course it is still far from a real engagement.Wang Xifeng made an agreement with Madam Xu that after the Jia family came out with filial piety, the Jia family would resume contact with the Xu family, and then the two elders would discuss slowly.
In a corner where everyone didn't pay attention, Sister Qiao was giggling, and when she finally regained her freedom, she quietly slipped into the west wing of the main courtyard.
"Second aunt, sister Qiao told you..."
The author has something to say:
Today my father said to me with a serious face: You know what?The day before yesterday was Laba!
Me: ...so? !
My dad: We didn't drink porridge!
Me:_(:зゝ∠)_
Tell me, does Laba porridge really mean a bowl of porridge on Laba day?Isn't it a bowl of Laba porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month (﹃)~→
