The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Li Wan couldn't hear Lin Zixiang, which aroused You's curiosity, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Wan said: "It sounds weird, but don't talk nonsense."

Jia Lian smiled and said: "My sister-in-law is too timid, but it's just the wind. Song Yu has a poem, saying that it is hunting cymbidium, Li Qinheng, general Xinyi, succumbed to weed Yang, Huixue Chongling, depression Zhongfang .And then wandering around the atrium, going north to the Jade Hall, climbing into the Luowei, passing through the bridal chamber, then you will get the wind of being a king."

You Shi didn't know why, so he just thought Jia Lian dropped the book bag. Li Wan couldn't help answering, "How come I don't know about Gao Tang Zhiyun, it can change endlessly in a few moments."

Compared to the daughter of Wushan, the clouds and the rain. The two elder sisters are really different!

Chapter [*] Although Shameless But Smart In the past few days, Jia Lian has been taking care of the housework in the Rong Mansion, and everything has gone smoothly. After a few days, Xing Zhong and his wife finally came from Suzhou thousands of miles away. That's clear. Madam Xing thought for a while and asked, "Is this what Brother Lian means, or what you mean?"

That Xing Zhong smiled and said: "Naturally it is what we meant. The child Xiuyan has lived in the mansion for a long time, and his vision is also high, and how ordinary people look at it, even if he insists, everything will be out of harmony. It's rare. Delightful."

"The second rule,"

Xing Zhong's wife said: "Xiuyan often replies to us and praises Brother Lian as a rare talent. In the future, we must marry Brother Lian. My father and I were thinking, if this is the case, it is better to fulfill this child. We also know that our background is a bit low, so we don't have any other requirements, and it is enough to let Xiuyan serve Brother Lian's daily life."

Xing Zhong nodded, "But there is something else, please tell my sister and brother Lian."

Madam Xing looked unhappy and asked lightly, "What did you tell him?"

Xing Zhong and his woman looked at each other, then smiled embarrassedly: "Xiu Yan's betrothal gift can't be simple."

Mrs. Xing sneered: "You guys have a good calculus, is it enough to give your daughter or sell her one thousand taels of silver?"

Xing Zhong's wife hurriedly said, "I need to add some more."

Xing Zhong also echoed: "We still have to live on the rest of our lives, one thousand taels is not enough for my sister and brother Lian to talk about it, so let's say it's a bit difficult, look at the relatives!"

Mrs. Xing felt that her face was dull, and she asked angrily, "You should have a figure for how much you want!"

The couple discussed in a low voice for a while, and Xing Zhongbi made a gesture: "Sister, with the wealth of the Rong Mansion, there is no ten thousand taels, so it does not show dignity."

Mrs. Xing said coldly: "You guys have the courage. I won't tell you, I'll call Feng girl over, you can talk to her yourself!"

Xing Zhong also heard about Sister Feng's greatness, and hurriedly declined: "It's my sister who relayed it on her behalf. We're stupid, we're afraid we'll annoy her if we don't speak well."

At this time, Sister Feng brought Feng Feng in and smiled, "Madam, but my uncle and aunt are here."

When Xing Zhong and his wife saw a very beautiful person who was like a fairy concubine, they would bend over and kowtow when they got up unconsciously. "Oh, I can't do it!"

Sister Feng hurriedly stepped forward to help her, "Aunt and aunt broke me! Sit down, this is my home, you're welcome."

Xing Zhongcai felt that he had lost his sense of proportion and was secretly ashamed. The couple didn't dare to speak for a while. Mrs. Xing didn't want to talk to them, "You say it yourself, I'll go see the master."

He actually left. Xing Zhong opened his mouth and couldn't say anything for a long time, so he had to whisper to his wife to speak. But his wife did the same, twisting Xing Zhong's hand, "You said it!"

Sister Feng looked at it coldly, her smile gradually faded, "What difficulties do you have, just say what I can help you solve, and naturally I will solve it."

Xing Zhong twitched for a long time before he said: "We told my sister just now that we want Xiuyan to give Brother Lian to be the grandfather of the country to serve and live. It's just the betrothal money."

But Sister Feng declined: "Then how can Xiuyan be the second grandfather's cousin, how can you be a girl? If it spreads out, people will stab in the spine, absolutely not!"

Xing Zhong's wife was afraid that things were going to get ugly, so she hurriedly said, "It's for the concubine, not the girl."

The corners of Sister Feng's mouth showed sarcasm, "No way, Qu Xiuyan! Don't worry, aunt and uncle, I'm also searching here, and I'll definitely find a good husband for Xiuyan."

When Xing Zhong heard what Sister Feng meant, it seemed like "Big sister, uh, second grandma, Xiuyan is a stubborn girl, she has already identified with the grandfather of the country, and it seems that he won't marry. Although we parents are reluctant, we still just follow her"

Sister Feng glared and said, "How can this kind of thing follow her? Since my uncle and aunt disagree, I'll go talk to Sister Xiuyan."

Xing Zhong's wife beat Xing Zhong angrily, "Look what you said"

With a smile, she said to Sister Feng, "We agree. I just want the second grandmother to take the child Xiuyan."

Sister Feng said with a smile, "Uncle and aunt don't have to be like this. Although sister Xiuyan's surname is Xing, she is already a girl from Rongguofu, the sister of the serious second master Lian, if my uncle and aunt say those shameless words, even if the second master Lian doesn't care. , but I can't stand it!"

Xing Zhong and his wife hurriedly stood up and bowed their hands, "Thank you second grandma for your mercy!"

Then the two of them looked at Sister Feng eagerly, and they wanted to send Xiuyan away, but unexpectedly they recognized her sister. Although this matter is very good for Xiuyan, it is embarrassing that the betrothal money is not gone. , but it's not easy to speak. "So that the second grandma knows that when we come back, we plan to be satisfied since the mansion recognizes as a girl. It's just."

Sister Feng was like a mirror in her heart, she not only despised their behavior, but also sighed that such a person could give birth to a kind of ... elegant and refined, gentle and peaceful daughter. It's really not worth her! So Sister Feng smiled: "Auntie and aunt say Xiuyan's dowry is like this! Then please ask my uncle and aunt to bring Xiuyan's dowry, or where it is stored, and we will send someone to fetch it. It is temporarily stored with us, and in the future, when Xiuyan leaves the pavilion, the second master Lian and I will double it. If you add it, you will definitely ask Sister Xiuyan to marry her beautifully."

Xing Zhong and his wife were embarrassed and laughed together: "If we go back to the second grandmother, our family is really poor and can't afford the dowry. We also pointed to the grandfather and grandmother of the country to help!"

"So it is!"

Sister Feng lost her smile as she spoke. She picked up the tea from the table and drank it slowly. Xing Zhong and his wife were sitting on pins and needles. She simply didn't feel ashamed, she just begged: "Second grandmother, it's not me who is boasting. With my daughter's appearance, she can write poetry and calligraphy, and no matter where you marry, you will always have the dowry money."

Xing's wife also said: "Second grandma looks at the wife's face, can pay thousands of taels in advance, we are also satisfied, even Xiuyan we can rest assured."

After drinking tea, Sister Feng sneered: "I'm afraid my aunt and uncle have made a mistake. It is not for the wife's face to think that our family wants to buy Xiu cigarettes as a daughter-in-law. It's not easy for me to be a junior, but you are too much!"

Xing Zhong quickly got up and said with an apologetic smile: "Don't dare, don't dare! It's really difficult at home, otherwise I wouldn't point to Xiuyan to send money back to maintain the family."

Saying that, tears squeezed out of the corners of her eyes. Sister Feng smiled and said, "It's not easy for my uncle and aunt to come here. For more than ten years, there is no credit or hard work in raising Xiuyan. The girl from the Jia family, her surname is Jia and not Xing!"

Xing's wife felt that it was too little, and wanted to grind it for a while. Xing Zhong hurriedly responded, "So it's settled. In the future, Xiuyan will let the second grandma bother!"

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Xiuyan will be a member of my Jia family from now on, you can rest assured and don't worry about it."

Xing Zhong nodded again and again, "Yes, yes!"

When the couple came out of the room, Xing's wife complained, "How could you sell your daughter for a thousand taels?"

"shut up!"

Xing Zhong lowered his voice and scolded: "My daughter has a good result, and I am satisfied that I have no worries about food and clothing. I also sell my daughter.

Xing's wife also felt ashamed, "It's just too low."

Xing Zhong reprimanded: "It's really an eye-opening mother-in-law, although Xiuyan is adopted, but as long as her daughter is still ours, if she has a share, will it starve us to death? I hated the second grandmother, and let Xiuyan eat it and hang it. If she loses money, it means that we also lose this reason, you don't understand."

Xing's wife just nodded, "The old man is still your shrewdness! Thanks to my daughter's good birth, she is a cash cow!"

The two were talking in the wing of the East Road Courtyard. The girl had already reported what they said to Jia Lian and Sister Feng. Jia Lian was silent for a while, and couldn't help but scolded: "How can there be such parents in the world?"

Sister Feng said with a smile: "I think they made the right choice. Not only is it good for Xiuyan, but they are also good for themselves. It's a sure-fire deal! Although shameless is a bit shameless, it is absolutely shrewd."

Jia Lian has to admit that Xing Zhong's abacus is very loud. It's just that they can't be so cheap, and they must be taught a lesson sooner or later.

Chapter [*] There is only one small problem. Xiuyan will change her surname to Jia. There will only be a date for Baochai to start preparing for the ceremony. Unfortunately, things backfired. The couple was planning to go to the small courtyard in the northeast corner where Aunt Xue lived. While we were talking, I heard the mother-in-law of the Xue family reporting that their uncle Xue Pan had also come to Beijing. Don't blame Jia Lian for not receiving the news. Xue Pan was desperate this time. In order to avoid debts, he even disguised himself as a businessman. The team came back. The dignified head of the Xue family, like a lost dog, fled in the desert, and lost the face of the ancestors of the Xue family. I think at the beginning, the Xue family only used money to beat others in the face. Sister Feng held Jia Lian's hand, He chuckled lightly: "Second Master, I have a hunch, I'm afraid there will be twists and turns in the matter between you and Bao girl."

Jia Lian also nodded and said, "Maybe, but I'm not afraid that my aunt will go back."

Sister Feng spat: "Of course they don't dare, I'm worried that you are soft-hearted, Second Master. When the time comes when my aunt says a few difficult words, you will agree to anything in Bao girl's face. Second Master, let me talk to my aunt this time. how"

Jia Lian looked at her worriedly. Sister Feng said coquettishly: "Good second master, let me try it, I guarantee Bao girl can't escape your hand! Second master"

Sister Feng, who had always spoken crisply and decisively, suddenly became: her voice was soft and soft, and a few words made Jia Lian's heart brittle. He squeezed Sister Feng's face lightly, "I'm not afraid of Baochai flying away, I'm just afraid that you will give Xue After the family is set, there will be no Xue family."

Sister Feng said, "I do think so, but my aunt is not Mrs. Shenzhai, so she's shrewd! This time I managed to take Xue Pan's shortcoming, how can I let it go?"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "It's up to you, but it can't be too much. The face that should be given should be given. It's just a dowry gift for Baochai."

Sister Feng jokingly said: "People love Wu Jiwu before they even go through the door."

So the couple entered the small courtyard in the northeast corner hand in hand. Xue Pan had already changed into a brocade robe and jade belt, and his former desolate appearance was completely gone. He hurriedly went downstairs to greet him, bowed his hands in a deep salute, and shouted with a smile, "Brother-in-law! "

Jia Lian squeezed out a little laugh. If Wang Ren called it that, it would be right, but Xue Pan would have a problem with it. I didn't see Sister Feng still here, and Sister Feng really laughed and scolded: "Is it possible that you want me to call you brother?"

Fortunately, Xue Pan saw the opportunity quickly, and immediately said: "My sister is young, only seventeen or eighteen, and young, naturally it is time to call me brother!"

A simple and honest look. Sister Feng just reprimanded, "Nonsense!"

Then they gently uncovered it. Entering the main hall together, Sister Feng left Jia Lian and Xue Pan to have a drink and talk to Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue was taking some needles and the maids when she saw Feng sister coming in, she hurriedly cleaned up. At the office, "It's rare for you to come, sit on the couch!"

Let Tongxi pour the tea. Sister Feng took the tricks and glanced at them, "This kind of work is done by them, why should my aunt worry about herself?"

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "This is for Baochai. I can only be relieved if I embroidered it myself. They are all useless."

Sister Feng sat down on the couch, "So that's how it is. When Baochai enters my door tomorrow, we can save the need for needlework and embroidery."

When Aunt Xue finished her work, she sat opposite Sister Feng and joked, "It's you who is not good. Remember to embroider a pair of shoes for Brother Lian, what does it look like?"

Sister Feng was embarrassed. This is a black history she has done. "Auntie, be careful when Baochai enters the door, and I will send the work."

Aunt Xue still laughed and scolded: "When you enter the door, it's your family. I can't control it, but it's up to Brother Lian to see it."

Sister Feng grabbed Aunt Xue's hand, "I'm joking! Seriously, Baochai entered the door, the cost of food and clothing is the same as Keqing Miaoyu, and it's about the same as me, and it's really better than the Xue family business. I don't know how much stronger the ordinary Mrs.

Aunt Xue sighed: "This child has a poor life, and he doesn't expect any official orders, as long as Brother Lian treats her well."

Sister Feng said, "I don't like to hear what my aunt says. It's a blessing in disguise when she arrives at our house. I think it's because of a deep fortune! It's really best to know each other well."

Aunt Xue said, "No... I am also satisfied with this marriage."

"In that case,"

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Second Master, let me talk to you about when to cross the door"

Aunt Xue asked, "I heard that the girl from the Xing family also gave it to Brother Lian."

Sister Feng nodded, "It's settled, just wait for my aunt to nod to choose a date, and the two places will do it together. Only one day before Baochai and one day after Xiuyan."

Aunt Xue hesitated for a while, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Why don't you worry, Second Master, but I can't wait for a day. I'm afraid that there will be more dreams in the night. When I came, I had already made people look forward to a good day. Three days later, it will be an auspicious day, and it will be the most beneficial to get married."

Aunt Xue laughed and said, "It's too late to prepare the dowry in three days."

"no, I'm fine!"

Sister Feng said: "People go first, dowry and the like will be carried over."

"only"

Aunt Xue said, "I have a small problem."

Sister Feng came over curiously, "What little problem?"

A pair of eyes flickered. Aunt Xue sighed, "Brother Pan came back to Shenjing this time, and brought a lot of account books. Some parts are not clear, and there may be deficits."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "This is an internal matter of the Xue family, and it has nothing to do with Baochai's entry. What's more, the bottom line has not yet started, whether it's a deficit or an account, you can handle it yourself. According to the previous agreement, we will only wait for each other. Just put in the money.”

Aunt Xue nodded, "That's the reason, but I did a little calculation at first. There should be a loss of [*] or [*] yuan."

Sister Feng drank the tea slowly, and said with a smile: "A mere ten thousand taels of silver, aunt, you take it too seriously, you can save a pinch wherever you want."

Aunt Xue's eyes flashed bitterly, and she smiled: "There are naturally some."

She paused for a while, "It's time to start the inventory. If you make up for this loss, you will have to make up for it."

After listening to a half sentence, Sister Feng knew what Aunt Xue's idea was, and then she said, "Auntie is afraid that she will suffer a loss during the inventory."
