Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 68 Jia Lian's Godwife (2)

Wang Xifeng also didn't go through the garden of Zhou Rui's house, but only went out of the Heiyou gate on the east side, so that Qing'er drove into Rongguo Mansion from the main gate.Xi'er and Le'er went to collect the fine by themselves, only Ping'er and Hongxiu followed, accompanied by Zhou Rui's family, got off the car, turned east, and passed through a hallway.

After Xiangnan Hall, the large courtyard inside the Yimen Gate, and the five main rooms above it are the Rongxi Hall.The deer top and ear rooms on both sides are drilled into the mountains, extending in all directions, not as exquisite as Jiamu's place, but magnificent and magnificent.

Wang Xifeng knew in her heart that this was the serious inner room, and a large Yong road led directly out of the gate.Wutongju is not the same as it, but it is better than Jia Lian's heart.Looking at the spacious main room again, Wang Xifeng thought to himself: "Sooner or later, I will live here!" After saying that, under the leadership of Zhou Rui, he went to the three side rooms on the east.

While walking, Wang Xifeng sneered in her heart, the bird occupying the dove's nest is just daring to live in the ear room.Zhou Rui's family didn't know what Wang Xifeng was thinking, so they smiled and closed the curtain for Wang Xifeng themselves. A woman in a pink satin jacket next to her looked at Wang Xifeng enchantingly, with a smile on her face and curiosity in her eyes.Wang Xifeng walked in without even looking.

After Wang Xifeng entered, the man pursed his mouth and twisted his waist to leave.I saw the big kang facing the window covered with scarlet sheepskins, with a big red money python backrest on the front, stone blue money python lead pillows, autumn-colored money python mattresses, and two brocade mattresses facing each other on the edge of the kang.There is a pair of plum-blossom-style foreign lacquer small tables on both sides.

On the left side is Wen Wang's tripod spoon and chopsticks incense box, and on the right side is the beauty goblet of Ru kiln-inside the goblet are inserted seasonal flowers, tea bowls, spit boxes and other things.There are four chairs in a row under the ground, all of which are covered with silver and red floral chairs, with four sets of footrests underneath.On both sides of the chair, there is also a pair of high tables, on which there are tea bowls, vases and flowers.

Mrs. Wang was sitting on the kang right now, leaning on the kang table and looking at something.Seeing Wang Xifeng coming, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Feng girl, come and sit down." Wang Xifeng picked out three chairs along the kang and sat down on the first one.Seeing this, Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "How can I marry my aunt and live apart? Come and sit here." She pointed to the west side of the kang table.

Wang Xifeng didn't even think about it in a blink of an eye, and sat down next to Mrs. Wang.Just as she was about to speak, a maidservant in a red satin jacket and green satin waistcoat brought tea.Wang Xifeng then brought tea and said with a smile: "I don't know if Second Aunt called me here today for something?" The phrase 'Second Aunt' almost didn't make Mrs. Wang change her face.

Mrs. Wang only hated in her heart: What a white-eyed wolf!He didn't show it on his face, he glanced at Wang Xifeng, took a sip of tea, and said: "It's been a while since you've been married, and it seems like you're young, not to mention the clothes and food, it's just The matter of worshiping ancestors in the next year is very complicated. I am not very healthy, and I want you to share some of it for me."

When Wang Xifeng heard it, his heart became even colder, thinking about what Jia Lian said a few days ago: "I'm afraid there is nothing left in this mansion except this house." After thinking about it, she didn't immediately refuse, and laughed Said: "I'm young and inexperienced, so I don't know what my aunt plans to ask me to help with. I still do errands."

Seeing that she didn't refuse, Mrs. Wang was secretly delighted, so she smiled and said, "Is there a lack of errand runners? I'll see how you can help me with Nianxia's clothing making?" After speaking, she looked at Wang Xifeng.But Wang Xifeng laughed loudly and said: "What kind of clothing can I manage there? I'm afraid I haven't even taken care of the people in my house."

Seeing that Mrs. Wang's face turned cold for two minutes after speaking, she explained: "If you don't believe me, you can ask sister Zhou, I just fined the two girls." At this point, she sighed, and then said: "I didn't feel it when I was at home, I just I feel that I can do everything, and I only know after I get married that everything is not going my way." After finishing speaking, she looked aggrieved.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked: "But what's the matter? Auntie might as well look after it for you." Wang Xifeng pretended to be embarrassed, and after thinking about it, she said: "It's not those girls, everyone It's all big-hearted! It can be seen that there is no one good." When Mrs. Wang heard this, she thought that Jia Lian was messing with the maids or something, and she didn't say anything, but she was secretly happy.

The aunt and nephew talked again. After all, Wang Xifeng did not accept the errand arranged by Mrs. Wang, so she went to Jiamu's room.After talking and laughing with Jia Mu's room again, he led Yingchun back to Mrs. Xing's courtyard by the way.

Wang Xifeng didn't respond to the errand, Madam Wang was naturally upset, but she couldn't find a chance to blow it up, so she couldn't see anything pleasing to her eyes.This afternoon, it happened that Mrs. Wang was resting on the couch with her eyes closed, and Baoyu ran over. Mrs. Wang was upset and didn't want to speak, so she kept silent.

Only Baoyu laughed with Jin Chuan in a low voice and said, "I'll beg you with my wife tomorrow, let's stay together." No response was heard from Jin Chuan.Mrs. Wang was already displeased, but she thought that the child's temperament was not worth paying attention to. After all, Jin Chuan was trained by herself, so she was considered polite.So he continued to close his eyes and meditate.

Don't want to hear Baoyu say again: "Otherwise, I'll ask for it when my wife wakes up." Mrs. Wang was shaking her head in her heart, but Jin Chuan'er laughed at this moment: "What are you up to!" It's just yours, don't you even understand this sentence?" At this time, Wang Fu was very angry and wanted to open his eyes.

But then Jin Chuan continued to laugh and said, "I'll tell you Qiao Zong'er, you go to the small east courtyard and take Huangeer and Caiyun." " Madam Wang was furious when she heard this.Turning over, Jin Chuan'er was slapped on the face.

With trembling fingers, she scolded like oil on a fire: "I'm a little whore, you're a good man, I've taught you badly." Seeing Mrs. Wang get up, Baoyu slipped out immediately.Mrs. Wang didn't pay any attention, and just yelled at Yu Chuan who just came in: "Call your mother and take your sister out."

When these words came out, not to mention Jin Chuan, even Yu Chuan was terrified, and quickly knelt down to Mrs. Wang and cried: "Madam, please forgive me!" Jin Chuan also cried: "Madam, I don't dare anymore. If my wife wants to beat and scold me, just let me down, don’t ask me to go out, it’s a kindness from God. I have been with my wife for more than ten years, and now I’m kicked out, I still see no one!"

But Mrs. Wang, not to mention being angry, even if she is not angry, she is the maid who hates this kid for doing despicable things, how can she be spared?In the end, the old daughter-in-law Bai, the mother of Jin Chuan'er, was called to take it away.

At this moment, it was widely spread that everyone knew that even though Wang Xifeng had just married, she didn't have eyes of her own, but Mrs. Xing did. Mrs. Xing knew about it, how could Wang Xifeng not know about it?It's a pity that Daiyu didn't know, if she knew, she might think that fate is unpredictable.Shouldn't this happen a few years later?Why does it seem to be three or four years ahead of schedule?

As soon as Jia Lian came back, she heard Wang Xifeng talking about this matter, and said with a frown, "I said, what is being reported in the house today, is it actually this?" Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Isn't it? You have to show your heart." After finishing speaking, Jia Lian gave a cold snort, and Jia Lian also smiled disdainfully.

No one thought that this matter would not end here.A few days later, one night, someone suddenly salvaged a female corpse from the well, and upon closer inspection it turned out to be a golden bracelet.It happened that Jin Chuan's parents were looking for her and couldn't find her. When they heard the news and rushed over to have a look, they cried and passed out.It turned out that Jin Chuan went home and cried for a few days, but Mrs. Wang did not forgive him, so he jumped into the well when he couldn't think about it.

Although everyone knew about this incident, Mrs. Wang knew it well. Baochai came to Mrs. Wang's room one day and saw Mrs. Wang sitting alone in the room weeping.It's not easy to ask too much, just sit on the sidelines.When Mrs. Wang saw that it was her, she cried, "Do you know that Jin Chuan suddenly threw himself into a well and died?"

Baochai knew about this, but she couldn't say it at this time, so she pretended to be surprised and asked, "How did you throw it into the well? This is also strange."

Seeing her asking this question, Mrs. Wang explained with tears: "It turned out that he broke one of my things a while ago. I was angry for a while, so I beat him a few times and kicked him out. I just said that I was angry with him twice." God, I asked him to come up, but he was so angry that he threw himself into the well and died. Isn’t it my fault.”

Baochai knew that this was not the case, so she did not tell the truth, so she only comforted her: "My aunt is a benevolent person, of course she thinks so. According to my opinion, he didn't throw himself into the well in a fit of anger. Most likely he lost his foot because he was stubborn in front of the well. Going down. He is used to being restrained above, so he will naturally have to go wandering around when he goes out, how can he be so arrogant! Even if he is so arrogant, he is just a muddleheaded person, and it is not a pity."

After thinking for a while, he said: "Auntie doesn't have to think about it, she is very upset, but give him a few liang of silver and send him. Today, Auntie cried for her, and it is considered a master-servant relationship. Don't be embarrassed. It’s a broken body.”

Mrs. Wang felt better when she heard Baochai say this, she nodded and sighed, "Even though I said this, I'm really uneasy. Just now I rewarded his mother 50 taels of silver, and I was going to give you two taels of your sisters' new clothes." Give him a set of makeup. It’s a coincidence that the clothes under the year have not been made yet, so I’m asking the tailor to send him two sets, I’m afraid she won’t be able to wait.”

After speaking, he wiped away two tears and cried: "Although Jin Chuan'er is a girl, she is almost as good as my daughter in front of me." Seeing this, Baochai hurriedly said, "What's the use of asking the tailor to chase me away now?" Go, my son just made two sets, wouldn’t it be easy to bring them to him. Besides, he also wore my old clothes when he was alive, and his stature is the same.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang asked, "Although this is the case, don't you shy away?" Baochai smiled nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I never care about these things." As he spoke, he got up and left.Mrs. Wang hurriedly called two people to follow Baochai.

In the evening, Mrs. Wang called Jin Chuan's mother to come, rewarded her with a few hairpins in person, and took the clothes for the funeral. Her mother didn't dare to say anything, but kowtowed to thank her, and left wiping her tears.After all, Mrs. Wang also used this incident to claim that she was unwell.

So the old lady Jia called Wang Xifeng to tell her to help her with the affairs of the year. Seeing this, Wang Xifeng knew that she couldn't escape, so she had no choice but to respond verbally.But in the end I didn't like it, so I told Jia Lian at night.After hearing this, Jia Lian frowned and thought for a moment before laughing.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng was very puzzled, and asked with staring eyes: "I'm baking in the stove, you are happy. How happy are you talking about?" Jia Lian was not annoyed, and pulled her to sit down and said, "Now it's like this. It's a good thing," just now Wang Xifeng said angrily, "Didn't you say that this mansion was empty long ago? Is it a good thing for me to subsidize it?"

Seeing that she had made a mistake, Jia Lian hurriedly explained: "Isn't it a good thing? Now you need to make up for the next item? It's okay if it's not a good year. You only need to reveal one or two mistakes, and you will be fine. Don't be afraid of what other people say, let's just lose this job, and no one will want to look for you again in the future, right? If we look for you again, it's just an excuse."

Although Wang Xifeng felt that this was disgraceful, she followed Jia Lian's wishes.During the New Year's Eve, a few mistakes were made. Seeing that Mrs. Wang was in good health, she hurriedly postponed the errand.In this way, the couple lived a happy life.
