Enemies in the Red Chamber

In Yangzhou, Jia Min is wearing half-worn clothes, making fun pictures for the children playing outside the window, and is planning to send them to Beijing together next time for Daiyu and Brother Liu, so as not to make their brothers and sisters unfamiliar.

Suddenly, I saw Sister Feng coming over from the Chuihuamen, weeping, followed by Xiaosuo and other girls.Jia Min couldn't help having a headache, and sighed helplessly, this painting can't be done today!Call the servant girl to bring water to wash her hands, then change into the clothes for meeting guests, and wait for Sister Feng to come in.

Originally, it was a good thing for Jia Lian to come to Yangzhou to find another way out. The young couple was also very good at the beginning. He respected you and you respected him. Everything was discussed. It is not as big-eyed and hollow-minded as the letter from Beijing said. A lecherous absurdity.It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and when the two of them stabilized and gained a firm foothold, they germinated in a solid state again.

There are more than three in Yangzhou, a lot of salt, a lot of money, and a lot of beauties. Jia Lian felt that he could hold Sister Feng.Although he is afraid of getting into trouble, he dare not accept people like thin horses respected by salt merchants, but he often sleeps in flowers and sleeps in willows.

Sister Feng was sour at first, and her liver hurts with anger.Later, the number of times was too high, and Guan couldn't manage it. Seeing that Ping'er wanted to be a good person again, he just opened his hands and followed him.As long as Jia Lian doesn't provoke the daughter-in-law at home, and doesn't bring back dubious people from outside, he doesn't care too much.Aware of the shortcomings of my narrow vision and ignorance, I only want to broaden my horizons.The more I know, the more my heart grows. I used to be limited to fighting in the inner house, but when I arrived in Yangzhou, I felt that my previous life was really boring.He simply gambled the big ones, took out more than half of the dowry money to start buying property, and sat in the rear under the name of a servant, gradually gaining the spirit to guide the country.It's also Sister Feng's ability. The business that others may learn in half a lifetime, it didn't take long to start making money in her hands, and slowly it became bigger and bigger.

If the matter ends here, then everyone will be happy and celebrate together.It's a pity that there is still a follow-up. Jia Lian has been used to it for a long time and gradually changed his mind.

In the beginning, there was a farmer below who wanted to climb the high branches, but he was confused and couldn't see the situation clearly. He thought that Jia Lian was the head of their family, and he didn't know where to find a good-looking little girl, saying it was his daughter, and sent him to serve her. Lord.Jia Lian fell in love with it, and took it back to the mansion to receive it in the room. Although Sister Feng was reluctant, she didn't say anything. At that time, she was only thinking about having a son and expanding her business. Been staring at that thing.Once you relax, something will happen. The little girl is not very knowledgeable and thoughtful, thinking that the big family is like the country, and the mother-in-law at home can't give birth to a son. If the one who comes in later can give birth to a son, she will be more talkative than the first wife .Relying on her good health and youth, the fortune teller told her that she has many children and grandchildren. Although she dared not do anything to Sister Feng, she was not polite to Sister Qiao.When the little girl was scolded as a "loser" and cried to her mother, Sister Feng realized that she dared to disrespect her daughter with something insignificant.Thinking that if it wasn't for harming human life, he would be directly beaten to death by retribution, and also thought that this bitch signed a contract of sale when he entered the mansion, so he simply didn't beat or scold him, and sold him from a distance, and told Ren Yazi to be the last It's easy to sell it to a bastard in the mountains, so that I won't be greedy and worry about other people's glory and wealth.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with Sister Feng's doing so, but Jia Lian didn't want to. Thinking of the past when Sister Feng relied on her natal family to manipulate him, she became more and more excited.From then on, no matter what smells good or not, I sent them home. Of course, Sister Feng didn't want to, and the two of them started to quarrel constantly. Let me do more.This one brought home one girl today, sold two of the other one tomorrow, and brought back four more the day after tomorrow. The entire backyard was unstable because of these two couples.

When Sister Feng finished making a fuss at home, she would cry to Jia Min constantly in a fit of dismay.Jia Min lost his temper because of the quarrel between the two. In his heart, he was partial to Sister Feng, but Jia Lian was also a blood relative, so he could only persuade her to relax so as not to hurt the relationship between husband and wife.Another person, Jia Min, can say the same thing about reconciliation. Sister Feng is capable of earning money now, and it is not impossible to live without Jia Lian. Since the husband does not respect his wife, there is no need for the wife to be so useless.Persuading and not persuading to leave is forced by reality, otherwise it is perfunctory and persuasive persuasion by outsiders watching the excitement without showing sincerity, and no one who is sincerely thinking about others can't just watch the people close to him swallow his anger.Yangzhou is not a capital city. There are many people who grow mulberry, raise silkworms and reel silk, and there are also many embroidery workshops and weaving workshops. There are many people who leave men and set up female households. Breaking the rules of entering the family temple.

Sister Feng came in and hugged Jia Min and cried, "Auntie, Lian Er is getting worse and worse, and today he wants to let a woman from a secret door into the house, I can't bear it anymore."

Jia Min was also angry when she heard it, "Lian Er really dares to do anything! Don't worry, I will tell him for you. If he doesn't listen, let your uncle teach him. Stop crying, girl Feng, her eyes are swollen carefully." Sister Qiao asks you, let's see what you say when the time comes!"

Sister Feng said: "I used to have something wrong, but now I have changed it. I don't know what the second master is dissatisfied with. It is an outside industry. If the second master thinks that I have made my own decisions, I will not do it. Seriously. I also have a concubine's room, and I have taken in a housemate. I don't know what else I can't do. Even if there is something that can't be done, can't the second master tell me clearly? It's not clean if you have to use a secret door The woman who came to disgust me!"

"What nonsense, I think you've done a good job. I know your property outside, it's all your dowry, and Lian Er can't say anything. I know what's going on in the mansion over there. When the time comes, Sister Qiao and the back The money for the child has to come from here. You are also doing it for the good of your couple, I know it all. Don't cry."

Just as she was talking, Sister Feng suddenly gushed out a stream of sour water from her stomach, which made her feel uncomfortable.Seeing this, Jia Min asked the maids to bring over spittoons.Sister Feng vomited for a while before she recovered.Said: "The second master is so angry that I haven't eaten well for the past few days, and my stomach just feels nauseous."

Jia Min felt a bit like morning sickness, but she wasn't sure, so in the end, just in case, she invited a doctor to take her pulse.

The old doctor stroked his beard and dropped his book bag for a long time, and finally made it clear, "This grandma is one and a half months pregnant. Recently, she has been irritable and hot, and the fetus does not look good. She needs to take a few anti-fetal medicines. Don't get angry in the first three months. "

Sister Feng was almost in a daze, thank God the child finally came, she was afraid for a while, if she hurt the child because of a lowly maid, it would be a big loss.Jia Min grinned from ear to ear, "Have you heard that, but don't mess around anymore. You stay here with me today, wait for him to pick you up before leaving, and watch me scold him."

"It's just that if I'm not an aunt who prefers my nephew, Feng girl, you have to listen to my advice. As a woman, you have to be gentle. It's not that it's not good to be hard. You support the property outside and manage the servants at home. When serving people and restraining the shopkeeper Zhuangtou, it’s okay to be tough. You are the master and they are slaves. It was smashed out, but boiled slowly with fire. Just say that the little girl was ignorant last time, you handed her over to the aunt in your room to teach her, why bother to lower your value to go with a girl Care about it, you told me that Ping'er is not a simple person, so you're afraid you won't be able to breathe a sigh of relief? After Lian'er's enthusiasm, you can let it dry if you want to, and if you can't see it, you can find a wrong place to sell it. Isn't it better? Why bother to carry it with Lian'er. This is the lovely person in your house who doesn't win his favor. If there is, your temperament will sooner or later give birth to a big mess. At that time, you really think that you can do it with the dowry. Can I live? What should I do with my children? What should I do with my family business? And there are some difficulties.”

"To say something that shouldn't be said, everyone knows that Yangzhou thin horses are loved by men. Some men are clean and self-loving and dislike dirty and refuse to mess with them, but more love them too much. Why? Enchanting and charming, well-educated, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting Proficiency is all small ways, and the most important thing is the four characters of 'Xiao Yi He Shun'."

With a sigh, he continued: "My mother-in-law taught me these things when I first entered the Lin family. I was younger than your uncle at the beginning, but your uncle always accommodated me when there was an awkward situation. I couldn't see the situation clearly, thinking that your uncle was afraid of me, and the relationship between husband and wife was as cold as others. Then my mother-in-law taught me these principles, and led me to meet many wives and grandmas who were not living well at that time. After returning home, I explained them one by one Let’s talk about the lessons of those people. In many cases, the husband is good-faced and tough to put on the attitude of a big man who is not afraid of his wife, then the wife is stubborn and refuses to admit defeat, then the husband becomes cold-hearted and turns to others, and finally the husband and wife are divorced. The good ones can have a son to guard If you are not good, you can only think about some tricks to vent your anger on your little wife all day long. It makes people uncomfortable to watch. Now Brother Liu is still young and has no wife. Wrong way. I don't treat you like an outsider either, your mother-in-law got along well with me, so don't blame me for being troublesome."

"Sister Qiao, a serious daughter-in-law can't deal with a lowly maid, and she has to find her mother to hug and cry after being said a few words by a lowly maid. How did you raise your mother? Do you think you let her eat you?" Dress well, arrange everything for her, and give her a lot of dowry when she gets married, just for her? You are also a daughter-in-law now, and the mother-in-law still fills the house and can't discipline you, is it good? At that time, Miss Qiao When you get married, what should you do if you really have a mother-in-law, a mother-in-law, a sister-in-law next to you, and sisters-in-law who are far and near? Parents love their children. It is a far-reaching plan. Being a mother-in-law is not your way. I am not a My dear mother, I left your elder sister and elder brother in the capital because of the troubles in Yangzhou, but I think I have done better than you. Your elder sister is not with me, sister Qiao is always there I can see you, I dare say, you know Qiaojie better than I know your elder sister. At least I can tell what your elder sister likes to eat, play, wear, and you can tell Qiaojie Do you like it?"

Seeing that Sister Feng was silent, Jia Min said again: "I couldn't tell you this before. I was afraid that you would think I was partial to Lian'er. Seeing that you didn't give Lian'er a son and disliked you. Now you It doesn’t matter whether the child is a boy or a girl if you are pregnant, it always means that you can still have a son, and that’s enough. I’m just telling you, I hope it’s not too late. Think more about your child, Don't spoil the rest of your life just because of a moment of anger."

Sister Feng naturally knew that Jia Min's words were for her own good, but it was a bit difficult for her to subvert the beliefs of more than [-] years like this. She didn't want to believe it but thought it made sense, and she was still not convinced if she really wanted to accept it.

Jia Min also saw Sister Feng's entanglement, so she didn't plan to persuade her any more. What should be said has already been said. Let her go back and think about it. It will take a long time in the future. When her child is older, she will also learn from her mother-in-law and lead It would be great for her to meet more wives and grandma who seem to be at odds with her husband.

In the final analysis, Sister Feng was not Jia Min's own child, and there is a limit to how close she can be.If it were Daiyu and Nuannuan, Jia Min would toss and turn, trying to get her back.

Just in time, Jia Lian, who delivered the letter earlier, had already arrived and was talking to Lin Ruhai. Jia Min began to tell Sister Feng what to pay attention to when she was pregnant, and repeatedly told her not to get angry over trivial matters.
