Chapter 34 The Red Chamber (34)(2/2)
Mrs. Wang's face turned pale and said, "I was thinking about whether I could invite the girl from the Lin family to the palace with me. This could be regarded as lifting the Empress's face."
"Damn it!" Jia Zheng pointed at Mrs. Wang and said, "Is the Empress's face beaten by the Lin family? No! It's the Emperor! If you have these confused thoughts again, don't go to the palace in the future."
Mrs. Wang wiped her tears and said, "Wouldn't it be even more difficult for her to be in the palace?"
"It's hard or not. What else can we do?" Jia Zheng stood up, "Just ask the Empress to serve the Emperor with all her heart, so naturally she will have the face she should have."
As he said that, he stood up, turned around and left.
Mrs. Wang looked at the swaying curtains, and felt a chill from her heart. The Empress was in the palace and no one outside was lent to the light. Now that she lost her face, who was worried for the Empress? Even the master is like this, let alone others.
After hearing the little girl's report, Wang Xifeng knew that what the master and wife said was not pleasant. She planned not to go out in the next few days, so as to avoid becoming a punching bag for someone.
However, her heart became more convinced that this family would not last long. After thinking about it, she sighed and knew that Jia Lian must be in Ping'er's house. The two of them were just when they were filling oil in honey. Although Ping'er was going to come to serve him, Wang Xifeng did not agree. She looked even more upset, so why bother? She just carried the eldest sister into the house, and the mother and daughter were companions.
Unexpectedly, Jia Lian just lifted the curtain and came in.
"Why did the second master think of me, a yellow-faced woman?" Wang Xifeng didn't get up, but just smiled: "When I saw the newcomer laughing, are you planning to see if I, the old man, have cried?"
"Nonsense." Jia Lian sat over and teased her with her elder sister's toy. He said, "You are the one who gives her face, but you are the one who is jealous now."
Wang Xifeng sneered and said, "I give her face to her, it's my relationship with her, it's my relationship with you. Why, it's not possible."
"It's all your reason." Jia Lian sat down with Wang Xifeng, and then said: "Today, the Empress's will came down. There are many places in the garden that have to be tidied up according to the Empress's wishes. The boy below has asked me for many errands. What do you say?"
"I don't care what kind of moth you are going to make trouble. I don't care about the family affairs anymore." Wang Xifeng thought to herself, but there was really nothing wrong with it. She was too lazy to care about it.
"Qin Ge'er and Yun Ge'er, who do you want to take care of these young monks and Taoist priests? The master was going to be dismissed. But the wife didn't know who was urging her, so she wanted to keep it in Tiegan Temple. This money was taken away and only took care of it for a month was the most easy job." Jia Lian didn't believe that Wang Xifeng would not be involved.
Wang Xifeng closed her eyes and said, "Just discuss with Ping'er. You used to ask me to take care of myself, but now I want to take care of myself, so you are upset me."
Seeing that she was lazy and unwilling to take care of others, Jia Lian knew that she was not very comfortable. He said, "Or I would serve you at night. If I change it... I would be awkward... I can't let go of it." His voice became lower and lower.
"I'm going to die." Wang Xifeng glared at him and said, "Sister is still here. Just make a fuss. You only go to her tonight. I still have to think about the Empress. The old lady must ask tomorrow. You don't understand these long-lasting things."
Jia Lian then smiled and turned around and left the house.
When Ping'er saw Jia Lian coming back, she sneered: "I came to see me after being driven away. What's my face?"
"You are so slutty, you are so embarrassed." Jia Lian leaned over and said, "She doesn't take care of me. It's not just a good deal for us. Face is important, or... it's important."
Ping'er spat at him: "I'll be happy with her, and I'll be a fair life for the rest of my life. I'll be happy with you, what can I get?"
"Stop! One or two of them are more and more awkward." Jia Lian smiled and then talked about the serious matter. "I asked her, but she just said she didn't care. I don't believe her anymore. She didn't feel biased in her heart. She turned around and didn't go along with her wishes, so she had to say something."
"I know this. Mrs. Zhou, the mother of Qin Ge'er, could have said a few words to her in the past. Why wouldn't she give the fat man to this Qin Ge'er? As for Brother Yun whom I have come to, the work of planting flowers and trees is less oily, but I don't have to go out. Is the money I can earn at the door of my house still disliked being less?" Ping'er said in a low voice. After saying that, he said, "How do you calculate the profits that I have taken out in the middle? Should I collect it or..."
"You only have these few dollars, and you still think about it. I asked you to keep it for me, and then I turned around and went to her hands, thinking I didn't know." Jia Lian jumped up, turned around and left. "You have a good idea, just listen to you."
"I'm so unconscienceless." Ping'er scolded angrily, "Who am I doing for?"
After scolding, Jia Lian was gone long ago.
Ping'er thought about it and wiped the powder on her face, took off a few hairpins from her head, changed into plain clothes, and went to the main room to serve her.
Wang Xifeng had already coaxed her elder sister to bed. When she saw Ping'er coming over, she knew that Jia Lian had gone out again. She smiled and said, "I thought I was incompetent and could not keep anyone. Now it seems that you are also useless."
Ping'er now didn't dare to joke with Wang Xifeng with a stingy face. She said straight: "Grandma can't even control her, so how dare I say it?" Then she told Jia Qin and Jia Yun's arrangements again.
Wang Xifeng thought in her heart and said nothing. She just nodded. Jia Qin was not a good thing, but it had nothing to do with her. She passed this in her heart, but stopped saying it to Ping'er.
He just said, "It's all right. I'm not biased or biased." He said, "You go back and rest, I won't keep you here today. My elder sister is here, and in addition, we are also wary of our master coming back in the middle of the night, and no one will serve him or behave in a bad mood."
Ping'er nodded and retreated.
The next morning, Jia Mu beat someone to take Shi Xiangyun back, "You go home and stay for a few days first, and then my ancestors ask you to pick you up."
Shi Xiangyun didn't sleep well all night last night. Thinking about this incident, I was afraid that it would be a big deal. Especially when the Empress asked the Lin sisters to live in the garden, or Sister Bao, who also asked her to live in the garden. She didn't ask herself to live. She felt that she had no shame to stay any longer. She lowered her head and agreed.
The Lin family has no idea how the Jia family arranged these things.
Lin Yutong asked about the family matters and saw that there was nothing wrong with it. She suddenly didn't know what to do if she was alone in the house.
Lin Yuyang said, "I was about to go to school, but the braised food my sister made last time was excellent. Why don't my sister make some more and ask someone to deliver it to me after a while."
"Okay." Lin Yutong nodded and responded. She brought delicious food to school, and all those who have worked as students have done this.
Lin Yuyang went there happily.
Lin Yutong was busy for half a morning before she could make it. She asked someone to pack two food boxes and gave it to her. She was afraid that there were too many people and there were not enough shares.
Lin Yuyang was not willing to give the things his sister made to others for food. He took the food box and went to Jinghai's mansion.
He felt that it was necessary for this uncle to know the benefits of his sister.
Wen Tianfang took these braised food and drank two glasses with his brother-in-law. After accepting countless scoldings, he finally sent his brother-in-law back in person.
Lin Yutong almost got angry when she found out. She didn't get in such a hurry. It seems that this younger brother is not reliable at all times.
If Lin Ruhai was there, let alone eating braised food. I would say whether he would give him a good face when he entered the door.
This is young.
Afterwards, Wen Tianfang beat someone to deliver things a few times, but it was just a pot of flowers, a book, or a snack outside. The things were no longer expensive, but Lin Yutong felt a little more comfortable.
Two more days later, the Jia family beat someone again, saying that Xue Baochai wanted to return the banquet and invited their sisters to have a drink.
Lin Yutong was thinking about visiting the Zhang family these days, and where can I have time to go to the Jia family?
Lin Daiyu opened her mouth and knew that her sister was not at ease to visit alone. She swallowed the words she said.
Xue Baochai returned to the table, so naturally there was no more fun that day. The Lin family did not come, and Shi Xiangyun was sent home again. Only the three sisters of the Jia family, Li Wan and Baoyu. Wang Xifeng did not participate in the past. She was too busy to take care of herself on weekdays. Now, she was free and thought that she could enjoy it for a day, and she was very proud of her.
During the meal, we couldn't help but talk about the Lin family.
"This is such a big thing, the Lin family should celebrate." Xue Baochai looked at Wang Xifeng and asked with a smile.
Wang Xifeng didn't know what Xue Baochai was thinking about inquiring, so she said, "Uncle Lin is afraid she is so annoyed. How can I have the mood to celebrate? Marrying a daughter is different from marrying a daughter-in-law, and I can't bear to leave it." She laughed and said, "My eldest sister Lin entered the capital a few days after returning to the Lin family. The father and daughter didn't live together for a few days. Now Uncle Lin is still in Jiangnan, but his daughter is in a blink of an eye. I feel no regrets. You are young, and when you are older, you have grown up, and you have children, you will understand this mood."
Li Wan continued: "Now she has a daughter, she doesn't know this."
Wang Xifeng squinted her eyes: "Sister-in-law is showing off her son again. It's okay to be in front of others, but she shows off to me."
Li Wan spat her and said, "You couple can't be reunited."
Wang Xifeng sighed, "You know where the eldest brother is. You can never run away and you can't see anyone. I don't know where my family is now."
"I actually said something bad." Li Wan was sad for a moment. Seeing that this was not easy for the girl to listen to, she changed the subject and said: "Does anyone know the foundation of this Jing Haibo?"
Xue Baochai smiled and said, "I heard from my brother. In the past, I was on the edge of the South China Sea. Although it was far away from the capital, I was also free and had the convenience of relying on the sea. I was extremely rich. In addition, the Wen family has experienced the decline of its population, and this single seedling has inherited all the industries in the family. It is a rare wealth."
"Since that's the case, this fate is too hard." Tanchun said.
"It's exactly what it said." Xue Baochai smiled and said, "It's not because of this."
Wang Xifeng doesn't like to listen to this. If someone gets a good family, there must be a deficit in it. What is this? Besides, she is looking forward to Lin Yutong's good luck now. In the future, Lin Yutong will definitely pull her away. Besides, the two of them will be good, saying that Lin Yutong means what it means to say to her.
"This is why you don't know." Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "The emperor gave a marriage without the combination of the eight characters of the Imperial Heavenly Prison. I think it should be okay to give a marriage."
Tanchun stopped talking. Xue Baochai smiled and poured the wine for another round. Baoyu sighed a few times, and one more missing from her daughter's house.
Everyone ignored his confused words and ate a meal of wine. Then it went away.
When he left the door, Wang Xifeng spat at Li Wan while drinking, and said, "It's hard for the Lin family to do their best for Lan'er. Now that you say something in front of you, you don't say anything. It's because people look down on me. I see, I know, if you encounter difficulties, who dares to help you."
Li Wan's face turned red and she said uncomfortable: "Who are those three girls and Bao girls being unfair? I don't believe that you are as smart as you can't tell. What can I say in this position? I turned around and told my wife to know. What's the good thing about this? The Lin family is good or bad, and it's not something they can hinder it just by saying a few words. There is no less to say a few words of maintenance."
Wang Xifeng only looked at her and sneered: "Are my wife and I far away?"
After saying that, he ignored Li Wan and thought to himself: It would be better to deal with this person less in the future. Only she can use people, but no one can use her. When they get along like this, who can get along with her for a long time?
Li Wan felt a little sad and said to you: To you, it is my dear aunt. To me, she is my mother-in-law. The wife doesn't like her and Lan'er at all, so how can she not be happy? Isn't it just because the Empress's face is called to the Lin family to take off her anger? If she talks, what does it mean? Standing on the side of the Lin family, what will the wife think? If she doesn't follow the words of the Third Girl and Miss Bao, wouldn't she just watch the Lin family take care of Lan'er?
After that day, somehow, "The eldest girl from the Lin family did not receive attention from Master Lin, so she used her marriage." These words spread among the servants of the Jia family. They even became more and more unpleasant.
Wang Xifeng sneered in her heart, she really didn't know how to live or die. Even the emperor dared to say anything about the marriage granted by the emperor.
Zijuan took Daiyu's order to bring snacks to Jia Mu. When she came out, she was pulled aside by Yuanyang and said things in a low voice. "I'm confused about this, I really think there is anything wrong with it."
Zijuan's expression changed, and she said, "Who is gossiping?" She smiled and said, "I follow our girl and don't know what's going on in the Lin family. The emperor missed the meaning of this marriage earlier. The eldest girl didn't get married. You know why the uncle would rather wait than get married. But it's just that the eight characters are hard to find. Because it is very consistent, I just went to the palace to ask for a marriage when the eldest girl was about to get married. Why would it be bad to come to our family's mouths? If this is passed on to the outside and question the imperial edict, I don't plan to ask for it."
"You are now facing the Lin family." Yuanyang smiled and said, "That's right. Following the master, you have to plan for the master. Miss Lin is a kind person. I know just how he has been to you over the years. You might as well ask for a contract early and end it clean."
Zijuan nodded, "I don't have much to worry about, my father and mother are dead, and that stepmother and sister have nothing to do with me."
The two of them talked for a while before Yuanyang sent Zijuan out.
Zijuan came back and didn't dare to hide it, so she told Lin Daiyu about this. This made Lin Daiyu feel idle. But she couldn't defend herself from beating the drums and drums. The more she thought about it, the more she became, the more she became frustrated.
