The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 152
Due to production, Mrs. Lu temporarily cleaned up the three buildings in the west wing of the main courtyard, rearranged them, and used them as a side hall for entertaining guests.Although the layout is hasty, the interior decoration is not ambiguous at all.On the couch was Zhaojun's favorite brocade velvet blanket, and the Ruan bamboo curtain half covered the outside scenery, allowing only a faint sunlight to shine in.Bronze censers are placed at the four corners, burning the quiet and elegant incense of the four seasons. On the window sill, there is a pot of bright red western cranes, which is eye-catching.

Wang Xifeng led everyone to Baoxia with a smile, and the four little servant girls came in with tea, and the leader replied: "Second Mistress, our girl said that the wife just took a break, so she didn't dare to disturb her. Grandma wait patiently for now, she will come in a moment."

Mrs. Xing put down her cup in displeasure: "Go and call the eldest girl, it's not that I, an aunt, scolded her, it's too shameful, all of these people here are her elders, and the Xing family has never been out before." The precedent of neglecting the guests is not breaking the rules with you girls!"

Wang Xifeng hurriedly laughed and said: "Don't get angry, eldest lady, there is nothing you can do about it. You don't know, Sister Xing is so busy all day that her feet don't touch the ground, there is no shortage of her inside and outside the house! Even if the eldest lady called me at this moment If she comes, the housekeepers and wives who are going on in the mansion can catch up to the gate of the courtyard, and our mothers won't feel at ease when they talk, so it's better to ask the eldest sister to deal with the matter properly before talking about it."

Mrs. Xing felt uncomfortable when she heard that Sister Feng was defending the Xing family and Xing Xiuyan like this. She felt that Wang Xifeng was indeed what Mrs. Wang said, a white-eyed wolf who was not familiar with others.Not only Wang Xifeng, but Lian kid is even more so!

The more Mrs. Xing thought about it, the more uncomfortable she got. She stood up and patted her skirt, and laughed with Second Sister You and Li Gongcai, "I can't compare to you. There is my sister-in-law lying there. I won't go and see it myself. It's hanging up and down. You just sit down and talk to you when I come back to see you!"

Mrs. Xing walked away, but Wang Xifeng didn't stop her at all. Instead, she picked a peach with thin skin and thick flesh from the plate and gave it to Second Sister You: "This is from Lingnan. I haven't seen such a big peach in other places. I heard that even the palace only got two baskets this year, and it's hard to buy even if you have money in the market!"

The second sister You seemed to be holding a hot potato, but seeing Sister Feng's very enthusiastic appearance, she couldn't help doubting what the elder sister Youshi said to herself.You Shi only said that although Second Master Lian was good, there was a shrew in the family. If she married herself, she would have to be beaten to death by Second Grandma Lian first.

However, seeing Sister Feng's behavior at this moment, Second Sister You only felt that she had been fooled, and Second Mistress Lian was clearly a Bodhisattva with a warm heart, she got along with everyone and was polite to everyone, she was by no means the kind of sinister bird that the eldest wife said wicked woman.

Second Sister You was clearly bewildered by Wang Xifeng's false image, so she was very careful, every time Wang Xifeng asked her anything, Second Sister You would answer truthfully.Her younger sister, the third sister, glanced at her a few times, winked secretly, and gestured openly, but the second sister soon regarded Wang Xifeng as a confidant, so how could she easily ignore the third sister You?
While investigating the situation of the enemy, Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "A good girl like the second sister, why are the elders in the family not in a hurry to propose marriage to you? I have a young man who is close to me. Now that I think about it, he is the same as the second sister. An amazing fit."

Second Sister You's face turned pale immediately, and she leaned back slightly, trying to distance herself from Wang Xifeng.

However, Wang Xifeng kept pulling on Second Sister You: "That young master is a clerk in our second master's yamen. He is only this year. He has a handsome face and looks somewhat similar to Baoyu. The family is sold in more than a dozen places in the capital. Sister, three generations of single-pass, if the second sister could have a son in the past, their family must offer you up like a Bodhisattva."

Second Sister You's face was full of embarrassment, so she wanted to politely refuse, but a little girl at the door hurriedly opened the curtain, and said with a crisp smile: "The girl is here!"

Seeing Wang Xifeng and Li Wan standing up together, Second Sister You also hurriedly followed. Turning her head and seeing Third Sister You sitting indifferently, she quickly tugged her and lifted her reluctant younger sister up.

Xing Xiuyan is wearing a lavender dress today, with small pale pink gardenia flowers embroidered on it.The hair was casually pulled into a loose bun, and a lotus-colored jade hairpin was inserted obliquely, which looked casual yet elegant.Apply a little powder and daisy, and the vermilion lips will be red without touching it.

When Xiuyan came in, she greeted her with a blessing, and said with a smile in her mouth: "I calculated the date, and thought that the old lady should send someone to see, so I prepared a few small gifts, and I just sent someone to get them, so there was a delay. The eldest lady and Pearl Sister-in-law sees my filial piety, so don't blame me!"

With just a few words, Mrs. Xing blocked all the words that Mrs. Xing had prepared to say to Luo!

This Xing Xiuyan is so tricky!Mrs. Xing cursed secretly in her heart, but she still didn't want to be light-hearted: "You are my niece, I will wait for you for a while, it's nothing, but there are also foreigners here today, two of Grandma You from Dongfu. My sister is also here to congratulate, you tell people to wait, I'm afraid you can't justify it with reason and emotion!"

Xiuyan stepped forward and grabbed Second Sister You with a smile: "Second sister and third sister are the most friendly, and they definitely won't care about this. I just passed by the window and heard Lian's second sister-in-law say. Are you talking about marriage?" Xiuyan turned her head and yelled at Wang Xifeng: "I said sister-in-law is too reckless, you should inquire first before asking, so as not to embarrass second sister."

Wang Xifeng immediately understood what kind of riddle Xiuyan was playing, and quickly took over the conversation obediently: "Blame me, blame me! Could it be that the second sister has already made a marriage arrangement?"

The second sister You was very anxious, and the third sister You also vaguely felt that Xing Xiuyan and Wang Xifeng were singing some oboe.

"When the second sister was young, she was married to the young master of the Zhang family at the head of Huangliang Village. Although the Zhang family suffered a disaster many years ago and lost their family property, the second sister is a sincere person and has never been with the Zhang family. After breaking up the marriage, only a few years later when the Zhang family prospers, I will marry and become a decent young mistress!"

Xiuyan's words shocked Second Sister You's heart and soul!
Could it be that the Xing family started to check themselves early?Otherwise, how would Xing Xiuyan know so clearly?
These words not only made Second Sister You lose her mind, but even Mrs. Xing was dumbfounded.

"What proof do you have that Second Sister You has engaged in marriage long ago? Girl, I don't care about other people, but just because you are my niece, I won't allow you to make up a lie to insult her innocence."

Xiuyan almost burst out laughing: She still believes someone else's innocent daughter, but how about Second Sister You and Third Sister You?Standing here, Xiuyan could talk about their love affair for a whole day.After guessing Mrs. Xing's plan from the clues, Xiuyan was not idle, and sent the housekeeper to Guo County to check the details of the mother and daughter of You.

It doesn't matter if you don't check, Xing Xiuyan was simply amazed by this investigation.

From Mrs. You to her two daughters, everyone is a master of flirting. Everyone in Guo County knows the names of the two sisters of the You family.The second sister You almost became the daughter-in-law of the magistrate of Guo County at one time. If the county magistrate's wife hadn't been too strong and locked her son at home, why did Mrs. You bring the two of them to Beijing to join Jia Zhen?

Jia Zhen is a wolf, wishing she could swallow the bones of Second Sister You and Third Sister You.Mrs. You also had no other choice, knowing that her daughters would be taken advantage of, she still salivated into Ningguo Mansion.

After hearing Mrs. Xing's words, Xiuyan had a troubled expression on her face: "It was clear that the second sister You said it in person in the temple that day, because I hit it off with the second and third sisters, so after I came back from Tiekan Temple, I went to the temple. They sent someone to find Zhang's family and gave him a few taels of silver. Zhang's family knew that the second sister had never left him all these years, so he was very moved! He said that he would make a special trip to Dongfu to pay his respects to Mrs. You in a few days, and it was a big discussion. Marriage."

Wang Xifeng hurriedly smiled and said: "Oh, this is a great joy, sister You, on your wedding day, you must invite me to go with you."

Mrs. Xing knew that she could not continue speaking, otherwise she would be the one who would be ashamed.Thinking that Mrs. You had lied to her, Mrs. Xing became very angry.

It turned out that Zhang's family didn't have enough food and clothing earlier, so where did they get the money to marry a wife?Now a kind-hearted man popped up on the way, not only helped their family to change their debts, but also promised Zhang Hua that when Zhang's family accepted Second Sister You, he would also help Zhang Hua get back the errand of Huangliang Zhuangtou, Still give them a home.

Thanks to Zhang Hua, he gave Xing Xiuyan a token from when he was married to You's family.

Xiuyan also had to sigh in her heart at this moment: Although Wang Xifeng's methods in the original book were too vicious, forcing Zhang Hua to go to the yamen to make trouble, the Jia family made a lot of bad deeds during the country's filial piety period, but think about it carefully, Sister Feng Only with this trick, Er Er held Second Sister You and Jia Lian tightly in his hands.

Mrs. Xing's two ribs hurt badly, she is a dead girl, as if she was born to be against her.

A hint of malice flashed in the eldest wife's eyes. She used to think of family affection and was unwilling to take action to eliminate this disaster, but now it seems that with Xing Xiuyan around, the Xing family will not allow themselves to intervene.Seeing that the good family business was about to be ruined by the mother and daughter, Mrs. Xing was filled with grievances.

For the sake of the ancestral foundation, this girl must be removed.

At this moment, Mrs. Xing's determination to kill someone has never been so firm.

The eldest lady did not please the slightest bit here, and angrily led everyone back to Rongguo Mansion.The old lady knew what her daughter-in-law was planning when she heard that Mrs. Xing had taken You's two stepmothers and sisters away.Jiang was really old and spicy. Mother Jia didn't say anything, she kept her face calm, but asked Lin Zhixiao's family to go to the Yinlou to get two heads and send them to Ningguo Mansion, especially for the Eryou sisters.

The singing and dancing here in the capital is peaceful, and everyone is preparing for the New Year. After the end of the autumn, the lords from all over the country also rushed to the capital to participate in the next year's spring.The Xing family held a full moon wine, and suddenly news came from the southeast, saying that the two countries, Jiaozhi and Qianxiang, had joined forces to rebel in the east. Don't talk about life.
