Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　Ke Qing secretly sighed, "You don't have to worry about me, just tell the truth."

　　Laifu confessed his guilt to Jia Rong in his heart, and hesitantly replied, "Uncle and that Zhao Jingchen are sometimes alone. As for what to do, we servants don't know."

　　You Shi intuitively felt that there was a gas in his chest that he couldn't let out, and Ke Qing next to him was only weeping.She comforted: "Don't be sad, my daughter-in-law, I must tell him about this matter, so that I can control him."

　　After hearing this, Keqing hurriedly begged: "Madam, you must stop the master at that time. The master is eager for his son to become a dragon, and the daughter-in-law is afraid that he will be heavy for a while..."

　　You Shi smiled bitterly: "You, with such a weak temper, only caring about him, not only harming him but also yourself."

　　In fact, since that day, Keqing's feelings towards Jia Rong have become increasingly cold, and she only maintains the affection for face.

　　As everyone knows, Jia Rong has long discovered that her father has some strange thoughts about Keqing.It's just that he has always been afraid of his father and dare not face it, for fear that he will find out that his father and Keqing have done scandalous things, and then his father will definitely kill him.So I used the excuse to be fooling around outside and not go home all day.Later, Jia Zhen took Keren's aunt into the door, and Jia Rong was even more frightened. There was only one word difference between Keren and Keqing, and everyone knew Sima Zhao's heart!Jia Rong only felt that every time his father looked at him, his eyes flashed across his neck, and his whole body felt cold.

　　Only in the past few months, Jia Rong seemed to have lost that kind of mind when she saw that Jia Zhen was busy, but Jia Rong didn't dare to gamble, and would rather leave her angel-like daughter-in-law at home than go out and fool around.In his heart, I'm afraid there are more elements of taking Keqing as his father's aunt.Only when he was drunk did he dare to show helpless resentment, and his intimacy with Keqing actually had a kind of revenge-like pleasure.All of these caused Jia Rong to be mentally abnormal. She went further and further down the crooked road and could not come back.

　　But all this is not known.At this time, in her heart, she hated Jia Rong very much. If he hadn't cared about her, how could she have... She only hoped that Jia Zhen would be more serious, that would be refreshing.I was just worried that Jia Zhen would beat Jia Rong to the death in order to occupy herself.

　　Ke Qing dared not think about it any longer.

　　You Shi couldn't bear Keqing's sadness, and only ordered Laifu: "Go to the account and collect 100 taels of silver to write off the account. Tell Brother Rong that his expenditure this month has been exceeded, and it will be deducted next month."

　　Laifu got up quickly and went out to collect money.

　　Seeing that Keqing wiped away her tears, You Shi smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. If his father really beats him, I will persuade him. It is reasonable to say that Rong'er will have to teach him a lesson. I don't agree to donate a cognate to him outside. Now it seems that if he stays in the capital, sooner or later, he will be damaged, so it is better to go outside. "

　　Ke Qing was stunned by You's words. In her ears, it was not what You said at all. Wouldn't it be convenient for him to keep Jia Rong far away?There was panic in Ke Qing's eyes, and he hesitated: "Did your father-in-law say that?"

　　You thought that Keqing was reluctant to let Jia Rong stay away, and smiled: "It's only natural that you young couples don't want to be separated. But you know that the family will never be without you. If you go with Brother Rong to take office, there will be such a mess in the family. Who do you give it to? Your father-in-law and the old lady begged Feng girl to come here to housekeeper that day!"

　　Keqing lowered her head and said nothing. If she could really leave Ning Mansion and go with Rong, you could stay away from Jia Zhen's claws and manage Jia Rong, and everything would return to the right path.She tentatively said: "Daughter-in-law heard that after the new year, the master will accept two concubines?"

　　You nodded and smiled and said, "It's my two younger sisters. They're even younger than Keren, but your father-in-law saw them early in the morning and said he'd bring them home after the new year." She looked at them. Keqing said: "Don't expect them to come to share your courage. Although they are my maiden sisters, they are concubines after all, and it is impossible for the accountant to be a housekeeper. Besides, your father-in-law has already planned to wait for them to pass the door. , there is also Fang Zi waiting, I'm afraid that when the time comes, I'm afraid that they are as good as Yindie, and you can't even want them to help." She looked at Keqing, "If you can really invite Feng girl, I will make the decision to let you go together. ."

　　Keqing shook his head, lamenting that the future was still so gloomy, and after all, there was no way to escape. "My wife made fun of me. I want to follow Brother Rong, but I'm afraid he won't! I'll stay at home and let him make trouble outside!"

　　You Shi grabbed Keqing's hand and said with concern, "I won't talk about the other side. Now, while you are still young, you should still conceive an heir as soon as possible. Unlike me, although the master respects him, you will never have a son to rely on." Said for a long time.

　　Ke Qing's face blushed when she heard it, but she was thinking, if she is really pregnant, who is it?

　　You Shi didn't know what Keqing was thinking, so he just picked up what he thought was important and left soon.

　　Keqing sat on the kang in a daze, and Baozhu leaned over and said, "Grandma, this maid thinks the wife is right!"

　　Ke Qing was interrupted by her sudden remark, "Damn girl, what's wrong, do you want to tell me?"

　　Pearl pouted and said nothing.Ruizhu said on the side: "Grandma, every time the uncle comes home at night, he often sleeps outside. Others don't know, and we don't know the people in this room? If I want to tell you, grandma takes the initiative, as long as she gives birth to a son , With the support, what the uncle wants to do with him, we can't control it!"

　　Ke Qing was enraged by her words, "As you said, I have to seduce him, right? Why don't you try it? I'll learn!"

　　Before Ruizhu spoke, Baozhu interjected: "How about we go outside to buy some medicine and come back into the bowl where the uncle drinks water..."

　　Keqing and Ruizhu looked at each other, "Baozhu, who did you hear?"

　　Baozhu smiled and said, "I heard it from a storyteller outside yesterday." Seeing that they didn't believe it, she said anxiously, "Really, someone at the entrance of the alley was talking about "The Legend of Heroes" yesterday, that's what they said."

　　Keqing spat: "Listen to some nonsense, and tell us about it. Next time, let me tell you that I won't tear your mouth apart!"

　　Ruizhu also echoed: "Grandma, you'd better break her legs to see if she is still running around?"

　　Baozhu is angry, come up to catch Ruizhu.Ruizhu ran away with a smile, and the two of them made a scene around the house.

　　Keqing watched, but thought in her heart, Baozhu's words reminded her that if she was really happy, she had to come here once to avoid people's eyes and ears.

　　As for the powder and the like, it can only be handed over to him.

　　At night, Keqing had a dream, dreaming that Jiao Da was sitting at the gate and scolding: "The ashes, the ashes..."

Chapter [-] Xichun Xifu is humiliated

　　Let's say that Xichun stayed in the West Mansion for three or five days.The old lady was near the residence of Sister Feng and Li Wan in the East Courtyard, and bought a place for her, but Xichun thought the place was deserted, so she often stayed at the sister's place and did not go to the East Courtyard easily.Everyone gradually became accustomed to it, so they simply did not make any other arrangements, and just instructed the daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law to add a futon in which yard according to Xichun's wishes.Xichun and the sisters became more and more affectionate, and they were also casual and generous, and the little girls were also happy to be sent by her.She was even more popular in the West Mansion than in the East Mansion.

　　This afternoon, Xichun went out of the East Corner Gate from Li Wan's Courtyard, and went to Madam Wang's Courtyard to search for Chun.Xichun listened carefully, every sentence was unbearable, and there was a faint sound of someone crying.Xichun pondered, who would be splashing outside Madam Wang's courtyard?So she brought it into the painting, pushed the door and entered the passage.

　　The old woman pointed at a girl in red and scolded: "Tell your mother's coquettishness, my wife still cares about your few taels of silver? Don't put a green onion in your nose and pretend to be the master. I've seen it a lot! You stand up to me. , I went back to my wife tomorrow and sold you out!"

　　The girl just looked down at wiping her tears and sobbed.

　　Xichun approached, and the old woman's body smelled of wine.Xichun covered her nose and saw that the girl was the second sister Yingchun's maid, Siqi.So Xichun stepped forward and grabbed Si Qi's hand and asked, "Si Qi, why are you here?"

　　Seeing that Xichun was here, Si Qi hurriedly knelt down and said, "Four girls, Granny Fei wants to sell me!"

　　Xichun smiled and said, "Listen to her nonsense, who wants to sell you, I don't agree! Get up, I'm just going to the second sister."

　　Si Qi then wiped his tears, stood up and said, "Our girl was talking about yesterday, the stuff you gave last time was the best, and I'll give you the money next time."

　　Xichun waved her hand, "My brother bought it for my sisters. I have to take the money from my second sister, and my brother won't buy it for me."

　　They talked to themselves, completely ignoring Mrs. Fei, and they were about to leave.

　　Madam Fei drank wine, and she was not afraid of Xichun, relying on Madam Xing's roommate.She stopped in front of Xichun and shouted, "You can't go! That girl still owes me ten taels of silver!"

　　Xichun looked up at Madam Fei, "I just heard you say that you owe Si Qi a few taels of silver, how come she still owes you money in a blink of an eye?"

　　Mrs. Fei stubbornly said: "Fourth girl, you don't know the whole story, she just owes me money!"

　　Xichun turned back to Si Qi and said, "What's going on? Tell me, and I'll decide for you!"

　　Si Qi glared at Mrs. Fei and said angrily, "What's the matter! Our two girls asked her to go outside and buy a new one because the rouge gouache bought at the office couldn't be used. It's even worse than the previous one. She even opened her mouth for [-] taels of silver. Four girls, you know that our girl only has [-] taels of silver a month! Isn't she bullying people?"

　　Madam Fei quibble: "Oh, you're really a lady from a wealthy mansion. I don't know that firewood, rice, oil, and salt are expensive. I bought you a good rouge, and it cost my wife fifteen taels in total. Even if I'm unlucky, it's not a runaway money. , you can't let the old lady post money, can you?"

　　Xichun ignored her and only asked Siqi, "What does the rouge you bought look like? Show me?" Xichun is now in the East Mansion under the influence of Jia Zhen's family, who is not ignorant of the outside market. Especially for girls' household items, it's clear where the things are expensive and the things are good.

　　Si Qi took out a small box from his arms and gave it to Xichun, "That's it, there are two more boxes with our girl."

　　Xichun opened it, looked at it, and took a little more evenly in the palm of her hand. "Crack!" Xichun smashed the box on Mrs. Fei's face: "You're too embarrassed to say fifteen taels of this kind! In the Nancheng store, there are even one tael of silver for you to transport a cart! Shame on you! Now? How dare you corrupt your master's money!"

　　Seeing that Xichun took the rouge box, Mrs. Fei felt a little uneasy. She was violently smashed, and immediately rolled on the ground and spattered: "Come on, the fourth girl is beating! Oh, it's fatal!"

　　Xichun had never seen such a battle before, so she took a few steps back in fright.On the other side of the painting, he said timidly: "Girl, should we call Wu Huai and the others over?" At the critical moment, his own guards are reliable, but they can't quench their thirst from afar.

　　Xichun grabbed Jin Hua's hand nervously, "Don't be afraid, let's sneak past, and the door is the second wife's yard." But how could Mrs. Fei let them go so easily?He reached out his hand on the ground and grabbed the corner of the skirt of the painting.Into the painting is a little girl, timid, and immediately shouted.The sound came far away.

　　Not long after, another woman appeared in the passage.Xichun looked at Wang Shanbao's family and Mrs. Xing's roommate, secretly saying that she was unlucky.And Mrs. Fei was even more unscrupulous, and cried even more happily on the ground.

　　As soon as Wang Shanbao's family came, he scolded Si Qi's ears: "How did your mother teach you? If you don't go to serve the master well, you will be a corpse here!"

　　Si Qi was the niece of Wang Shanbao's family, so naturally he didn't dare to resist, so he had to turn around three times and walked away aggrieved.

　　Wang Shanbao's family hurriedly gave Xichun a salute, and said with a gun and a stick, "Four girls, you are the young lady of the East Mansion, so it's not my old lady's turn to say that the rules in our mansion are different from yours, so you can't In general terms. Even if you want to beat this idiot, it should be our people. You, a girl, are really disrespectful and lose the face of your Dongfu."

　　Xichun was also used to being rampant in the East Mansion. No daughter-in-law had ever dared to talk to her like this, so she sneered: "My mother-in-law doesn't ask questions, she accuses me of beating my mother-in-law Fei, no matter how young I hit her. How much does it weigh, you have the East House on the left and our House on the right, are you saying that I am an outsider and meddle in my own business?"

　　Wang Shanbao's family piled up smiling faces, "The girl is joking, how dare I say that you are an outsider? It's just that you are from there after all, and you may not know some rules."

　　Xichun laughed and said, "What are the rules? I don't know?"

　　Wang Shanbao stood up and said, "Our old ladies pity us servants the most. Unlike some houses, they would take off their pants and beat them at every turn. That would be really immoral and lose the face of a powerful family."

　　Xichun held back the anger in her heart and said, "Some people are shameless and are used to cheating, but if the master is a little kind, he thinks that he is weak and can be cheated, and he thinks of ways to cheat. This kind of person not only takes off his pants and beats him, but also I want to drive her home and let her fend for herself." Xichun glanced at Wang Shanbao's family, "You are Siqi's grandmother, and Madam Fei corrupted her money, not only did you not chase, but instead joined hands, I I really saw it."

　　Wang Shanbao's family blushed for a while, and felt that he had lost face. He kicked Mrs. Fei on the ground with her feet, and scolded: "You immortal, don't hurry up! Don't you think it's shameful?"

　　Madam Fei got up quickly, her face embarrassed.

　　"Four girls, don't act as the master in front of me, you are not from our manor, you can't control us."

　　Madam Fei stretched out her hand and pushed Xichun.Xichun Ren Xiao could not stand up and was pushed to the ground.

　　"Miss!" Into the painting was so frightened that he quickly helped Xichun up and cried, "Let's ask the master to judge us!"

　　Xichun patted the dirt on her dress and sneered: "Don't bother my brother, I want to see what the rules are in your West Mansion? The servants have bullied their masters, and now they are still Dare to beat the master! Come, let's go to the old lady."

　　Wang Shanbao's family saw that things were going badly and ended badly, so he kicked Mrs. Fei down with one foot, "It's the other way around. After drinking a few taels of yellow soup, I don't know the sky is high and the earth is thick. I dare to fight with the master, and I will kill him tomorrow and pull it out."

　　Madam Fei was also drunk for a while and lost her hand, and now she pushed down Xichun, her face turned yellow with fright, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Four girls, the old lady is drunk, I don't know what to do, please look at the big girl. On the wife's face, please spare me this!"

　　Xichun just wanted to leave here, but was stopped by two shameless old women, unable to advance or retreat.

　　At this time, two more people came out from the corner door.Xichun stood on tiptoe to see, and hurriedly shouted: "Sister Ping'er, sister Xiren, save me!"

　　Pinger was sent by Sister Feng to see who was making a noise. When they encountered an attacker on the road, they came over together. As soon as they entered the aisle, they heard the voice of the fourth young lady, Xichun. "Four girls, why are you here?"

　　After all, Xichun was young, so she pretended to be strong, but she didn't care about anything when she saw them, and threw herself into Ping'er's arms and cried.In the painting, while wiping away tears, he explained the matter intermittently.

　　Ping'er comforted Xichun, sneered and said to Mrs. Fei and Wang Shanbao's family: "I didn't know that there are such rules in our mansion, and the slaves can still rely on the old to sell the old, play the wine and beat the master. I will go back to the second grandmother. , let her ask the eldest wife, the second wife, and the old lady above, whether there are or not?"

　　The two mother-in-law knew that they were in trouble. Seeing that Ping'er was the proudest person in front of the second grandma, they hurriedly pleaded, "Miss Ping, please save us some face in front of the second grandma!"

　　Ping'er spat: "I know now that I need face, why didn't I expect to save face when I pushed the fourth girl just now?"

　　Xiren also said on the side: "You know that the fourth girl is the sister of Uncle Zhen over there, and she is the most cherished. You relied on being from the eldest wife's family, but you don't know that the lord is fierce, and even the eldest master doesn't care. !"

　　After all, Ping'er and Xiren protected Xichun and returned to Sister Feng's house.Sister Feng comforted her in every possible way.The little girl who entered the painting remembered Jia Zhen's instructions, and our young lady was wronged and reported to him as soon as possible.So she took advantage of the fact that Ping'er and the others were not paying attention, and ran back to the East Mansion.

　　For the past few days, You Shi felt uncomfortable, and Jia Zhen was happily tired in Yindie and Keren's room.Today, he took a break at noon in the lovely room and was about to go out.After passing through the inner door and before reaching the inner hall, the portrait rammed into Jia Zhen like a fly.Jia Zhen was hit and staggered, scolding: "Hurry up to reincarnate!" She raised her hand and was about to fight, when she saw that she was in the painting, she wondered if it was Xichun, and hurriedly asked: "Why are you here? ?"

　　I ran into the painting in a hurry, out of breath, unable to say a word for a long time.Jia Zhen was anxious, handed her a cup of tea in person, and urged: "What's the matter, tell me quickly!"

　　After entering the painting and drinking water, it was better, and said, "Our girl was beaten..."

　　Before she could finish her sentence, Jia Zhen was furious, rolled up her sleeves and shouted out: "Timerlin! Jia Qing! Where are all the dead? Fuck the guy and I'll beat you up!"

　　Looking at Jia Zhen's back, she cried anxiously: "Damn it!" Fortunately, she was still a little smart, and she was busy running back again, shouting as she ran, "Madam, Madam! It's amazing, it's amazing. !"

　　You Shi was crooked on the bed, and Yindie stood by and waited.He suddenly heard the shouts from outside, entered the painting and broke in, knelt beside the bed, "Madam, our young lady is being bullied over there, the slaves came to report, the master told Timur to take a stick and go out before the slaves finished speaking. Go. Madam, go and stop the master, our young lady is all right now and is in the second grandma's house over there!"

　　You Shi suddenly panicked, put on his shoes and walked out, "You can't let the master go west just like this, call someone to stop him!"

　　By the time You got out of the ceremonial door, Jia Zhen had already taken a group of people out of the door.You couldn't care less, and shouted loudly: "Master, Master, you can't go!" He hit Yindie casually, "Go and stop your master!"

　　 Yindie ran over like a gust of wind, holding on to Jia Zhen's clothes.Jia Zhen couldn't help laughing, "Silver Butterfly, what are you doing?"

　　Yindie said: "Master, what are you doing here?"

　　When Jia Zhen turned around and saw You trotting all the way, she threw the stick to Wang Jian, greeted him, and said, "You are not in good health, and you ran out!"

　　You Shi hurriedly said: "Our girl was wronged over there, and I am as anxious as you are. But if you fight like this, where will the old lady, the eldest lady, and the second lady over there put their face? This is the mother-in-law below. If you cause trouble, let that side deal with it first, and then make plans before it's too late!"

　　Jia Zhen thought about it for a while, and it was the same reason.He weighed one or two, and asked Timur and others to return, and led You Shi, Yindie, and Ke Ren who arrived later, and the family went west.

　　In Sister Feng's room here, Li Wan, Yingchun, Tanchun, as well as Yuanyang, Jin Chuan'er and other maids gathered together.Sister Feng had already instructed the servant to tie up the drunk Madam Fei and put her in the woodshed. She only waited for the old lady to sell it tomorrow.Wang Shanbao's family just cried and kowtowed here begging for mercy.Xichun also lost her anger at this moment, and the sisters played together.

　　Suddenly she snapped her forehead and exclaimed, "Damn!"

　　Sister Feng asked with a smile: "Fourth girl, you are so surprised, did you lose money?"
