The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

"You don't have to take it either."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Second Master wants to tear your clothes off the most!"

The gesture was about to start. They jumped up quickly and entered the house ashamed. Jia Lian laughed at the back. "Second master is so excited!"

Sister Feng's voice came from behind. Jia Lian turned around to support her, "You are really, I told you to rest, but you are trying to be brave and don't let go of the power over the Rongguo Mansion, but be careful of my son."

Sister Feng raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "I'm happy! Now I feel that I am the lady of the dignified Rongguo, and it should be mine. Why did you tell me to let go?"

"Good good!"

Jia Lian asked her to sit on the couch, "rest in the garden for two days to take care of her body."

Sister Feng spat: "You don't think I'm obstructing your eyes. Twelve beautiful girls come in all of a sudden, how can they see me?"

Jia Lian said: "You said the same thing, could it be that I, Jia Lian, covet their bodies?"

Sister Feng said in a coquettish anger, "If you haven't passed the attack for one night, you should eat it up and clean it up. Do you still have the heart to let them go? I don't dare to ask you what happened to the goddess who gave you a handkerchief and two bracelets. , I'm afraid that you will lose face and be embarrassed and annoyed and won't be able to step down."

The fingers of the two were intertwined, and Jia Lian defended: "What's the meaning of what Niangniang rewarded casually?"

Sister Feng smiled, "The two bracelets are not the same! I remember that you asked the emperor for two more orders, and you whispered to me, which two sisters are you looking for and I'll take care of you! Let you cover up Secretly, he lost his identity as Duke Rong."

Jia Lian just laughed. Sister Feng was annoyed and twisted the flesh on Jia Lian's arm, "Are you still worried about my bad intentions? I don't have a conscience. I thought I didn't know, in short, it's among your sisters. When you get married, I will serve you!"

Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Fifth: I chose a long time before you. Jia Lian didn't dare to say such harsh words. For example, Xiangyun has no way. Her two uncles are Hou! Not to mention how to quell the argument , On the second day, Jia Lian accompanied Sister Feng to the Rongguo Mansion because of the matter of Xiangyun, and persuaded the old lady. This is a matter of course and the old lady should be the only one to come forward. If Jia Lian is too busy, Shi Nai Brother Shi Ding is about to doubt whether Jia Lian has an idea. Even if their brothers can really give up their face to fawn on Jia Lian, Jia Lian can't wrong Xiang Yun and be ridiculed by other people. The old lady went here for a day to clear Xuguan , I didn't go again if I wasn't feeling well. After listening to Sister Feng, she smiled and said, "Her uncle is too impatient, Yun'er is still young, wait and see more. Then tell them to go, there are many honors recently. Gui suffered a disaster, I would rather wait more than hurt Yun girl."

Although the old lady didn't leave the house, but the relationship between people and talking with each other, many old families lost news, how could there be a sister Feng who didn't understand what she said, she didn't disagree. Only Madam Wang suddenly smiled: "Yun girl She was still naughty, picked her up in the first month of the previous year, and it started snowing within two days of staying there. She put on Baoyu's robe, boots, and forehead, and rushed to the snowman with the girls in the backyard. Go, fell down and fell into the ditch and got covered in muddy water. The old lady thought it was Baoyu, so she was eager to have it pulled back."

The old lady nodded: "She and Baoyu are very good, I'm afraid they are still like this now."

There was also a different kind of thought in my heart. After speaking, I settled down and sent my mother-in-law to the Shi family to explain. The Shi family brothers thought again and again, and the situation is unclear at the moment. Xiangyun's marriage has been postponed, and he is looking for a suitable one. It is a pity that Wang Ziteng has no son. Jia Lian sat for a while, and Lin Zhixiao came to report that the uncle of Xinglong Street was here, and the master asked the second master to go out for a meeting. Jia Lian knew that Jia Yucun was here, so he couldn't say how to welcome him. Today, Jia Yucun was very proud of the spring breeze. He was at the door of the study early in the morning.

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Brother, why are you so polite?"

Jia Yucun let Jia Lian pass, and followed step by step, "Brother Yu is here to express my gratitude. The court has ordered me to be promoted to the minister of punishment."

Jia Lian said: "Congratulations, brother Gao Sheng!"

Then Jia Yucun twisted his beard and said, "If it wasn't for your grandfather and the elders of Wangge's strong recommendation, the foolish brother, He De He Neng, would be very grateful to be promoted to the Servant!"

Jia Lian waved his hand, "If it weren't for the fact that my brother has excellent knowledge and ability, we just want to do good things, and we can't do it! Brother, please take a seat!"

Jia Yucun did not refuse, he sat down and said, "This time the imperial court plans to focus on renewing the management of officials. It has successively used many Chinese censors to hold important positions, and also selected several governors and governors. It can be seen that the emperor will definitely have actions in the future."

Jia Lian doesn't need to read the Dibao to know that many names listed by Yang Jihe are on the promotion list. "Brother, don't worry, as long as loyalty is a worry, our efforts can be clearly seen by the emperor."

Jia Yucun nodded again and again, "What my grandfather said is. In the early years, the emperor paid food in one body, which was the first of its kind in all dynasties. It can be seen that he is really the master of Shengming."

He changed the subject and said, "I got news from the Ministry of Personnel, this time my uncle is also on the list."

Jia Lian smiled and asked: "In that case, did you tell uncle no?"

Jia Yucun said: "Not yet. Uncle is thick and doesn't care about career advancement. It's not easy for me to tell him this."

The two talked some more scenes, and then Jia Yucun left. Jia Lian didn't recommend Jia Yucun at all, and even secretly hindered him. He looked coldly at the direction he was leaving, "It seems that we are going to change the court, see you. Wang Ziteng's market price is higher, and he hastily came to me to inquire about the news for him."

It seems that Wang Ziteng started to take action and Jia Lian fell into contemplation, so he hurriedly called Mr. Yang over. Unfortunately, Yang Jihe is not here now. Where did he go to the house of Prince Anyi, Changshi Wang, and the two of them sat opposite each other. Wang Chang Shi smiled and poured tea to Yang Jihe and said, "You are relaxed and proud now, what are you asking me to do to see my joke?"

Yang Jihe was not polite, he drank the tea in one gulp, and let him pour it again: "I'm here to save you, don't be ungrateful."

Wang Changshi put down the teapot, "Pour it down by yourself. I want you to save it, don't forget that I saved your life!"

Yang Jihe fell to himself: he drank himself, "It is because I thought that you still have such a little kindness for me that I came to persuade you to jump out of this fire pit as soon as possible and find another job."

Wang Changshi said: "I'm doing a good job as a long history, but I don't want to continue to be promoted and get rich, why do I want to jump? I think Prince Anyi has a bad temper, but it's good to listen to my ideas. Besides, you are not indifferent. Knowing the election of the palace officials, my long history is over."

Yang Jihe squeezed the teacup, "I've figured it out for you, why don't you go to Taichang Temple first, then go to another place, and then think of a way to transfer back to Beijing."

Wang Changshi looked at him deeply, "After all, you are a lobbyist for Mr. Jia."

But there was a ridiculous feeling in his heart. Yang Jihe said very seriously: "You and I have known each other once, and it can be considered life and death. Right now, Duke Rong has a lot of trust in his brother. If I recommend him, he will definitely agree. ."

Wang Changshi smiled and said: "Let's not say whether he believes you or not, you are so eager to get me out of the way, are you trying to get in the way of Prince Anyi so that I won't get in the way?"

Yang Jihe glanced at him, but did not speak. Wang Changshi pointed at him, "It's a shame that I still help you, you're taking my job! It's really unconscionable. How could our lord be beaten even after he's broken No!"

Yang Jihe said with a smile: "If you tell others about this, they can still believe it. I have lived in the palace before, and even if you hide everything from me, it does not prevent my eyes from seeing clearly. Lord Anyi and Wu Tianyou. The gang wants Concubine Wu to be the queen, and her biggest opponent is Concubine Jia. Last time, the uterus almost made a big accident. If it wasn't for my Dongweng's alertness, I would have made a big mistake. .You didn't remind Prince Anyi"

Wang Changshi looked at him intently, "Jia Gongye asked you to bribe me, there must be something substantial, who can tell in the future whether it is an official or an official."

Yang Jihe suddenly laughed: "I thought it would take a little more work to convince you! Now that I've said this, how can I make you satisfied? You can talk about gold and silver. I can make up my own mind if it's less than [*] taels."

That Wang Changshi said: "It seems that Master Jia has a lot of trust in you!"

Yang Jihe shook his head and said, "My family's Dong Weng trusts his wife and two concubines the most, and I don't know many secret things. But I can sense that Dong Weng's ambition is definitely not in the one he is proud of. In Fengyi Garden. I'm very curious, how many secrets does he have? That's why I'm willing to be driven away."

Wang Changshi smiled and said, "It seems that you are very curious!"

Yang Jihe said: "You can tell me the number, and I can also deal with Dongweng."

"What would you do if I didn't agree with you and instead sue you out?"

Wang Changshi whispered. Yang Jihe stared into his eyes and said slowly, "Not only the Zhen family has people who do dirty work."

"Hahaha!"

Wang Changshi laughed and said: "Then please tell your family Dongweng and let him weigh it."

Only then did Yang Jihe relax, "Brother made the best choice!"

Wang Changshi smiled but said nothing, I chose years before you! You don't know that while you are recruiting me, I also gave you a trustworthy evaluation

Chapter [*] was sent to Baoyu Envoy to return to Rongguo Mansion, and Yang Jihe was reporting to Jia Lian the situation of this trip. "Since Wang Changshi is on our side, the big thing can be decided."

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Mr. Yang is the most important, I will use tea instead of wine, and toast Mr.

Yang Jihe laughed, his heart was very happy. He put down the tea cup and said, "For the past few days, people have been staring at the Zhongshun Palace, and there is news."

Jia Lian asked: "What news?"

Yang Jihe said with a smile: "The King Zhongshun is very cautious. Except for daily necessities such as grocery shopping, almost no one comes in or out. But today, the number of people who go out to buy vegetables is a few more than in the past. After leaving the palace, they each went to different places."

Saying that, he handed a piece of paper in his hand to Jia Lian. Jia Lian glanced at it, "It seems that King Zhongshun believed my statement."

Yang Jihe nodded and said: "Originally, King Zhongshun was trembling with fear, and when he did something like that, whoever didn't worry about Dongweng's departure would shatter his self-deceiving fantasy, seeing that the emperor would not let him go when he was free, He hasn't made a living yet, and he'll give it a shot at the end."

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Actually, I'm very curious about what King Zhongshun can do in this situation. Not only do we stare at him, but the Jinyi Army is also staring at him. It's almost impossible to rebel again!"

Yang Jihe said, "He doesn't dare to be alone, but he can revive his soul and encourage others to make trouble."

Jia Lian couldn't help but smile, "Borrowing the dead, you use the word well."

At this time, Prince Anyi sneezed several times in his own palace, "Come here, ask Wang Changshi to come over and let him figure out the good and bad for Gu Gu, who is behind the plot against Lao Tzu."

Not much gossip, and said that Sister Feng held her stomach and went back to her small courtyard with the support of Ping'er and Su'er. Yin asked, "Where is the second master?"

Su Er replied, "Go ahead and talk to Mr. Yang."

Sister Feng didn't ask any more questions, but Ping'er smiled and said, "Second grandmother, Aunt Shan, Wu Xindeng's family, and Mama Zhao have all sent things. Come, I will have them put them away in the east wing."

Sister Feng saw that several servants often came to pay homage to him, and from time to time they came to ask Ann to flatter him, and she became suspicious. This day, when she saw someone coming to pay homage to him, she asked Ping'er with a smile: How come you are so close to me all of a sudden?"

Ping'er sneered: "Grandma can't even remember this, I guess their daughter must be the girl in the old lady's room, and now someone has come to our place, whether it is to add one to the old lady or to the second master Bao. If you add one more, they must be the Qiao Zonger who will get these two silver coins."

Sister Feng nodded, "No wonder! The rules of the master are strictly controlled, Baoyu shouldn't have so many girls, and the old lady will call them, so it's still the old lady. If you want to add more, you can only add to the old lady. there."

Ping'er joked: "Why didn't our second master set one for ourselves?"

Sister Feng spat: "What I said is, you will be fired horizontally and vertically! By the way, how can I hear people say that Zhao Yiniang is talking nonsense behind her back, saying that there has never been such a thing as deducting her money?"

Su'er smiled and said: "Grandma, the slaves know about this. There used to be five or six girls in front of Concubine Zhao and Brother Huan, and there were two a bunch of money, and the rest were all five hundred coins. Now The second master made the decision, and after two layoffs, there was a commotion."

Sister Feng laughed, "There are only two even Keqing, and only one Qianxue in Miaoyu. She is also worthy of so many girls."

This afternoon, Sister Feng and Aunt Xue were eating in Mrs. Wang's room. Madam Wang asked Sister Feng, "I heard them say, you have laid off the girls of the aunts."

Sister Feng was displeased when she heard it, but smiled on her face: "Yes, I said earlier that the family is overly concerned, and there are many people who shirk the blame and do not work, so they cut the number of people. In this way, things can be handled more easily."

Madam Wang nodded, "Since the family is headed by your husband and wife, I won't say anything. It's just that you can cut outsiders as much as you can, and it's okay for the concubines to suffer if they don't."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a reduction. There are two second-class girls in the concubines. Brother Huan is the same as the concubines. This is an old example. It's just that there are two more girls in Zhao Auntie. There are only two. There is only one aunt in the eldest master's room, and there is only one Miaoyu in Brother Lian's room. If Zhao aunt's two are not cut, they will be added to the other aunts. This will add more than ten girls, so the rule is to treat everyone equally."

Madam Wang was displeased, "It's not that our family has no money right now, but it's not what it should be."

Sister Feng rolled her eyes, "What my wife said is. It's a decent time now, but it's just that my mother has spent a little bit on saving relatives. She needs to make up for the gaps over the years, and she has to prepare for the next saving. It's also what it should be."

"That's it!"

Mrs. Wang shook her head, "I don't care about these. Brother Lian wants to attack people, and there is one missing from your brother, so I can find something to make up for it."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "I heard that Baoyu doesn't want to be attacked, so it's better to go today, just choose someone else."

Sister Feng said: "Xiren was originally the big girl in the old lady's room, but she gave it to Brother Bao as an ambassador. If you add one more to the old lady, you will also make it. If you add another to Brother Bao, there are three more people in Brother Bao's room besides Xiren. 3 big girls, seven or eight, a little girl. I could have cut it because of this, but if it is not cut, it will be fair and even if there is another one in the ring brother's house."

Madam Wang didn't speak. Aunt Xue joked, "Just talk about other things, what's going on in Brother Lian's room?"

也是好意,不想她们生了嫌隙,该说,清楚了才是.于是凤姐笑道:“现在链哥儿比着大老爷和二老爷,该有八个8大丫头,我不比得老太太,斗胆和太太一样,只四个44大丫头.现在我房里加上袭人也只九个9.宝兄弟房里本应该是四个44二等丫头四个44小丫头.”

With the status of Sister Feng, she should have been on the same level as the old lady, but the elders are still there: you can't go over it. She said so, and Mrs. Wang also understands that there are still fewer big girls in Brother Lian's room, and those in Baoyu's room There are still more girls. It’s just that there is an old lady who loves Baoyu. When did she come to Sister Feng to be honest with her according to the rules, she was full of annoyance, and gradually complained. Aunt Xue was busy spinning in the middle and smiled: “What a big thing, According to my idea, Feng girl might as well choose one for the old lady, and then give it to Baoyu, no one can choose the wrong one."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Since this is the case, there are also a few big girls who are missing in front of the master to serve. It's time to make up for it, and send it to the Baoyu envoy!"

This is pure dissatisfaction. But it is still: within the rules. How should Sister Feng deal with it?

Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Seven The rhythm of trouble, Sister Feng said with a smile: "Since the madam ordered me to do so, I will do it, but I will ask the madam to show me a little bit. I don't care about Brother Huan for the time being, Brother Lang is getting older, too. In theory, he should be the same as Brother Bao. Right now, there is no special maid to serve in front of Lang Geer, and there are four or five missing, 45 big maids, seven or eight, and where should a little maid be allocated?"

Jia Lan is the eldest grandson, and is ranked before Baoyu in the order of inheritance. But Mrs. Wang has almost no status for Jia Lan. For a time, the atmosphere in the room became awkward. Sister Feng kindly gave Mrs. Wang an idea. , "It's better to supply the few that are missing in the master's room for the time being, and then supply Brother Lang when there is more money in the future. It's not too late to add to Brother Bao. In this case, even Concubine Zhao has nothing to say."

Mrs. Wang pondered for a long time before she said: "It's still as comprehensive as you think. Let's do this, give Baoyu two of the girls in front of me, I have two enough."

In my heart, I thought, I can't be less than Brother Lian. Aunt Xue also joked at this moment: "Sister, Baoyu is still young, and putting so many girls with him, if no one persuades him, it will easily happen."

But it's not... In the past, there was still a lot of advice from Xiren, but when Xiren left like this, it wasn't entirely up to him to get into trouble. Glancing at Aunt Xue, she regretted not marrying Baochai to Baoyu. Maybe that's why she hesitated. She smiled and said, "My sister reminded me that I should find someone more stable. Baoyu can't get along, do you think mandarin ducks?"

Sister Feng said, "The old lady can't be separated from her for a day. Even if the old lady is willing, it is not easy for Brother Bao to do it. Why don't I go and tell the old lady and let the old lady make up her own mind."

Madam Wang nodded, "That's it. Brother Bao should be more concerned! I'll point to him."

Sister Feng smiled and left. When Mrs. Wang saw Sister Feng leaving, she asked Xiuju to tell Aunt Zhao that the cut would be terminated. She told her not to make trouble, so as not to cause trouble to the second grandmother. Aunt Xue ignored it and only talked to Mrs. Wang. Let's talk about some private affairs of women's families. Aunt Zhao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and after hearing the girl's message, she is even more annoyed, and she often speaks ill of Fengjie behind her back. There have been ears telling God to tell Fengjie, Fengjie just sneered, from Don't take it to heart. Go and tell the old lady. The old lady doesn't have anything suitable in front of her eyes, so let's put it aside for the time being. This matter is over. Sister Feng came out and rolled up her sleeves a few times under the porch. On the threshold of the corner door, he smiled and said, "The wind blows when you pass through the door here: it's cool, blow it and then leave."
