Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 65 The Bride (1)

Although she went to bed late yesterday, Jia Lian is used to getting up early, and Xifeng is stronger and doesn't want to be compared.So the two of them washed up early and went to Mrs. Xing's room.But the two of them didn't expect Madam Xing to be waiting in the hall before dawn.

It turned out that Mrs. Xing was worried that the girl from the Wang family would embarrass herself, and she was afraid that she would not come to toast this cup of mother-in-law tea today, and she was full of hope for Jia Lian.Mrs. Xing was worried that she hadn't slept all night, she tossed and turned most of the night, and got up before dawn to change clothes and make up.This tossing also made Jia She, who stayed in the main room last night, feel annoyed.

Jia Amnesty originally wanted to save Jia Lian some face.Originally, she had been staying in the study room for several days, but she also came back to the main room last night.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xing spent the whole night tossing about. If she hadn't thought that Jia Lian's wife would come to offer tea in the morning, Mrs. Xing probably wouldn't be able to get away with Jia Amnesty's good beating.

When Jia Lian led Wang Xifeng into the courtyard on the east side, Wang Baoshan's family and Mrs. Fei were all excited with tears in their eyes, and reported in trembling voices: "Madam, madam! The master is here, the grandma is here! " Shouting and running inside, I even forgot the usual etiquette.Neither did they salute Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng.

When Mrs. Xing heard the sound in the room, she couldn't sit still and wanted to welcome her out.Or Jia She couldn't see it and shouted: "Haven't you tossed enough?! You can't even sit!" Mrs. Xing looked up to see Jia She's gloomy face, but she hadn't seen it for a long time, and she couldn't help but feel a twinge in her heart. Jumped, but sat down safely.

Wang Baoshan's family drew the curtain for the two with their own hands, and Aunt Fei brought a thick cushion and placed it in front of Mrs. Xing and Jia She.Since Wang Xifeng came, she also planned to save face, so she followed Jia Lian and knelt down to Jia She, took the tea from Aunt Fei, and handed it to Jia She.

Jia She saw that Wang Xifeng was dressed as a woman, the phoenix-tailed hairpin on her head trembled with Wang Xifeng's every move, and she was wearing a bright red dress, which made her face even more beautiful, and she heard Wang Xifeng crisp and authentic: "Daughter-in-law invites father to drink tea." Jia Amnesty laughed so happily.

Jia Amnesty took the tea with a smile, took a sip and put it down, then hurriedly took out two red envelopes and gave them to Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian.He smiled and said, "Good! Good!"

Mrs. Xing looked on with nervousness on her face, and for a moment she felt as if she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.Wang Xifeng just pretended not to see it.In the same way, he offered a cup of tea to Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing's hand trembling with excitement while holding the tea, her eyes were filled with hot tears, she lightly pecked at the tea, then hurriedly put it down, took a pair of gold bracelets and said to Wang Xifeng: "Daughter-in-law Lian, Now I have handed Lian'er over to you, you have to treat him well." Then he turned his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Turning her head, Mrs. Xing continued: "You know, I don't have any good things. This pair of bracelets was given by the old lady when I entered the door. Although they are a bit old, they mean something after all. Although I am not Lian'er's mother, But I treat him the same. Now I give you this bracelet and Lian'er together." After speaking, she reluctantly patted Wang Xifeng's tender little hand.

I just don't know if she is reluctant to part with this bracelet?Still not willing to part with Jia Lian?If it was a bracelet, Wang Xifeng really didn't like it.If it's Jia Lian...?Doesn't that seem right?Jia Lian is marrying a daughter-in-law, not marrying into someone else's house!
But Wang Xifeng didn't know that Mrs. Xing was worried that Wang Xifeng wouldn't want to see her, and if she didn't come to respect this mother-in-law's tea, she would be ashamed.Now she is more worried about Jia Lian!People often say that when you have a daughter-in-law, you forget your mother, let alone she is not your own mother?So I was also very disturbed.

After speaking, Mrs. Xing looked at Jia Lian again, her eyes were full of loving mother's love, and she said softly: "Now you have grown up." After finishing speaking, she couldn't continue, and suddenly burst into tears.No one in the room could figure it out.

Jia Amnesty couldn't see it from the sidelines, frowned and lowered his voice and scolded, "Why are you crying on the day of great joy? It's no bad luck! Let the daughter-in-law get up first!" Mrs. Xing said quickly, "Yes, yes, look. When I was happy, I forgot."

After speaking, he got up and helped Wang Xifeng up with his own hands. This was not a false help, but he actually pulled her up himself!Wang Xifeng was also a little embarrassed for a while, but she couldn't say anything, she just looked down on Mrs. Xing even more in her heart.

Mrs. Xing took Wang Xifeng's hand and looked up and down, as if she couldn't get enough of it. Although Wang Xifeng felt a little impatient, she thought that she still had true affection for Jia Lian.So he endured it too, just lowered his head and didn't look at her.

Mrs. Xing thought that Wang Xifeng was shy, so she hurriedly said to her: "Lian'er bullies you, just come to me." After speaking, she patted her hand, her face full of kindness.Just as Jia Lian didn't know what to say, Yingchun walked in.

I saw Jia Amnesty sitting at the head frowning, Jia Lian standing aside, Mrs. Xing holding Wang Xifeng's hand and smiling all over her face.For a while, no one in the room made a sound, not knowing what had happened, but seeing Jia Lian winking at her, Yingchun smiled and walked over to salute Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing.

Yingchun looked at Wang Xifeng who was held by Mrs. Xing and said with a smile: "Mother won't let my sister-in-law sit down, so that my daughter can toast her a cup of tea and ask for some good things. Even if there is nothing, the purse given by my sister-in-law must be It’s not a big deal.” Everyone in the room laughed when he said this.Jia Lian also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he laughed and scolded: "Is this house still lacking your things? In the future, if you need anything, you can just find your sister-in-law, but I will hand over all my belongings to her." Wang Xifeng gave him a cross-eyed look with a smile on his face. It's full of styles.But Jia Amnesty, Mrs. Xing and others all quietly changed their expressions.Only Yingchun didn't feel it.

After Jia Lian finished speaking, she pulled Wang Xifeng to sit down on the left.Yingchun also respectfully offered tea to Wang Xifeng. Taking this opportunity, Jia Lian said, "Feng'er, although my younger sister is now recorded in her mother's name, she is regarded as a legitimate daughter. But after all, she is too soft-tempered. I need you to take care of me a little bit more."

Wang Xifeng felt sweet and soft when she saw Jia Lian calling herself "Fenger". She couldn't help raising her eyebrows and said, "Since she is your sister, isn't she my sister? Who else can I ask to bully her?" Seeing this, Yingchun also pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The younger sister is here to thank my sister-in-law first." The whole family talked and laughed and the atmosphere became harmonious.

In the end, Jia Lian remembered that Jia She was going to be on errand, so he hurriedly passed on the breakfast, and after Jia She was seated, Mrs. Xing also sat down. Yingchun looked at Wang Xifeng puzzled and said, "Why doesn't sister-in-law sit down?"

Wang Xifeng was not used to serving people at all, and she felt a little unhappy when Yingchun said that. Seeing this, Jia Lian smiled at Wang Xifeng, "Feng'er, come and sit next to me." After speaking, she got up and pulled Wang Xifeng to Sitting down beside her, Wang Xifeng stared at Jia Lian with wide-eyed eyes.

Jia Lian saw her delicate appearance and cute expression, so she couldn't help nodding the tip of her delicate nose, which made Mrs. Xing and Yingchun laugh.Wang Xifeng also blushed in a rare way, staring at Jia Lian and wanting to complain, but felt that it was not the right place.For a moment, I was ashamed and angry.

Seeing that she was angry, Jia Lian laughed quickly and said, "Feng'er calm down, we don't care about it in other places, and we don't care about it, but there are no such rules in our own yard and in our parents' yard. How can a family eat together?" Can some people eat, and some people stand and serve? There are no shortage of two waiters, so it’s better to have a lively meal and drink together.”

Hearing what Jia Lian said, Mrs. Xing also said: "Lian'er said very well, since a daughter-in-law is married into the door, she is a member of her own family. There are old and young sitting there, and the daughter-in-law is standing. The truth? It can be seen that he does not regard his wife as his own family." After finishing speaking, he did not forget to give Jia She a sideways glance.Wang Xifeng also happened to see that look in his eyes.

How did Jia Amnesty not know that Mrs. Xing was talking about the old lady's rules?At this time, it was hard to say anything, and he just frowned and shouted: "You can eat it! Could it be that a table of dishes can't stop your mouth?" After speaking, he reached out to pick up the golden silk roll steamed bun for Mrs. Xing.Wang Xifeng couldn't help but burst out laughing even though Wang Xifeng watched from the sidelines.

If it wasn't for the fact that the sky was still dark, everyone would have seen the suspicious flush on Jia She's face.Wang Xifeng also knew that she was being rude, so she quickly added: "It can be seen that the master really loves my mother! Although the words are not pleasant, I am afraid that we will steal the food and starve the mother. Did you have a piece of cake?"

This remark made everyone laugh again, even Wang Baoshan's family and Mrs. Fei who were listening outside the door also covered their mouths and laughed in a low voice, let alone a few people in this room.Jia Amnesty didn't know what to say for a while, so he glared at Wang Xifeng for a long time before he said, "Master, I'm done eating!"

Mrs. Xing had no choice but to hold back a smile and changed Jia She's official robe.Then lead the family to the door to send Jia She out.At this time, Jia She felt very satisfied in his heart, look, the son is promising, the daughter is filial, this wife is kind even though she is not good enough.The daughter-in-law is not only beautiful, but also smart.Then he walked out the door with a smile on his lips.

Several people waited for Jia Amnesty to leave before returning to the house. Jia Lian thought that Wang Xifeng just talked and didn't eat anything, so he said: "Father is full, but I am not full. Let's continue." She didn't say anything and just sat down with a smile on her face, but Yingchun stared at Wang Xifeng and kept smiling, making Wang Xifeng blush.

Wang Xifeng also knew that Jia Lian was feeling sorry for her and hadn't eaten just now. Although she was touched, she felt that he had made her lose face, and she felt a little unhappy.Mrs. Xing took a look at Wang Xifeng and then lightly reprimanded Jia Lian: "Since you said you are not full, then you should eat quickly, so as not to delay the conversation of our mothers."

It wasn't until I finished speaking that I realized that today I don't have so much time for the two mothers to talk, and as expected, Jia Lian said, "It's time to hurry up, I have to go to the old lady's courtyard after eating, and I still have something to tell Feng. Son." Hearing this, Wang Xifeng quickly stopped thinking, and concentrated on eating.
