The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

He quietly folded the agreement and stuffed it into his clothes.

Sister Feng stared at him for a long time, full of doubts, but couldn't find any flaws, "Hmph, consider my literacy, so you can lie to me with your nonsense!"

Jia Lian spread his hands and said, "How did I ever lie to you? Well, the old lady can't do without you, and the old lady will come to remind you later."

Sister Feng raised her eyebrows. Since the eldest man here has been like this, the eldest wife has been taking care of her wholeheartedly, and the old lady has spared her from worrying, so she can easily go to the old lady's room. Even Sister Feng seems to be the housekeeper of the eldest daughter-in-law. The family is obedient and docile, shouting back and forth everywhere, majestic.

"Brother Lian, do you blame me for not being with you?" Sister Feng was so tender and tender, "I heard Xing'er, who delivered the letter, say that someone is making trouble at the shop outside? You're really brave! Tomorrow I'll borrow a hundred and ten soldiers So, who is still tired of living?"

The only trace of warmth was immediately dissipated by the murderous aura.

Jia Lian hugged her and said with a smile: "I know your uncle is the Jiedu envoy of Beijing. It's just that they are jealous of us and want a share of the pie."

Sister Feng broke free and said angrily: "Why? No, this is an idea you came up with alone, and you can't give them a tael of silver!"

"Okay!" Jia Lian loved her husband and wife in front of Ping'er. "Yasheng has a cloud, and it is not as good as everyone's music."

Seeing Sister Feng's annoyed look, she hurriedly explained to her: "I mean, since ancient times, wealth and silk have moved people's hearts. We have won a golden mountain, and our strength can't be swallowed in one bite. They. Let them fend off other pretenders for us."

Sister Feng knows it right away, "Could it be that we throw a meat bone for the dog to eat, and then let the dog watch the house for us?"

"Uh!" Jia Lian was speechless at Sister Feng's frankness, and still praised: "That's the reason!"

Sister Feng straightened her body proudly, but Jia Lian pulled her to the top, and spat: "It's only been two days since I read the book, and I'm just scrupulously written. If tomorrow's child really becomes a scholar, don't you think I have no ink on my chest? "

Where did you learn this word from?

Jia Lian held back his smile and looked left and right, "Where is the ink?"

Sister Feng was blushing, embarrassed and annoyed, "Bad brother, they are talking to you about business!"

Jia Lian also said solemnly: "Feng'er, there is really no ink!"

Sister Feng couldn't help grasping Jia Lian's hand and was about to bite it. "You laugh at me!"

The pleasures of the boudoir do not need to be described in detail.

At this time, only Ping'er was waiting in the room, and the three of Su'er had long since left to play by themselves.

Jia Lian was still in a daze on the couch.

Sister Feng leaned into his arms, "Are you still thinking about those dogs?"

Jia Lian nodded, "It's about the overall situation, and I have to figure it out. If you accidentally get involved in some kind of conspiracy, it will be more than the loss."

Sister Feng wondered: "Didn't you talk about making money from glass? Why did you talk about conspiracy again?"

Jia Lian instructed Ping'er to fetch water, and explained to Sister Feng carefully: "You know, there are two groups of people going to the shop today, one group is those from Popi and Wucheng Soldiers, and the other is Feng Ziying and the others. ."

Sister Feng nodded, "Yeah, those pranksters are accustomed to deceiving students, they have always colluded with the soldiers and horses, one with a red face and one with a white face, I don't know how much money went wrong. Thanks to Feng Ziying and the others this time, if you weren't here, you might suffer a loss. !"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Although everyone says that you are the hero of the fan team, but after all, you have long hair and short knowledge, and a woman's opinion..."

Sister Feng's pink face is full of spring, and her fierceness is revealed, "Bah! Your hair is not shorter than mine, which is the most annoying for you men to say this. What happened to the woman? You were not born by a woman?"

After saying these two sentences, Sister Feng was so ashamed that she said "Bah" again.

Jia Lian just pretended that she didn't see her covering her head with the quilt, "Those rude people are picking quarrels and provoking trouble, as expected, it is normal for the soldiers and horses to collude with them, but you don't think Feng Ziying and the others are too coincidental when they arrive. Is it? These people, [*]% of the dummies, if it wasn't necessary, they would never appear at the gate of the Guozijian in their entire lives. Take a step back, maybe one or two passing by occasionally, a group of them, not going to the brothel to drink and listen to music, Those who are waiting beside our shop, just in time to catch up with the soldiers and horses, would be a ghost if there is no premeditated plan!"

After a while, Ping'er came back with a big copper basin, and Sister Feng let her serve, "So, Feng Ziying and the others are deliberately looking for trouble?"

Jia Lian sighed: "It's not entirely true. Now in the court, there are two groups of people who don't like each other. On the one hand, we are the founders of the country. On one side are the royal relatives, these people are highly regarded by today’s sons, especially King Zhongshun, who even surpasses the crown prince in authority.”

Standing in front of the big mirror, Sister Feng put on her hairpin and said, "When I was a child, I also listened to my father and uncle chatting. It seems that we used to be close to Prince Yizhong, and then something went wrong for some reason."

Jia Lian talked about the secrets of the previous dynasty, "I heard the masters and the others say that this Prince Yizhong is the prince of the Supreme Emperor. It is said that he was suddenly deposed and imprisoned because of a trivial matter. I don't know how much fog is hidden inside the palace gate. , The Emperor Taishang issued an edict to cede, and when the son becomes the emperor today. When the old King Jing of Bei was alive, he often spoke badly, making grievances for Prince Yizhong. However, he died soon after, and Prince Yizhong was forgotten. "

Sister Feng opened her eyes wide and exclaimed in a low voice, "So, Prince Yizhong was killed?"

"Little Ancestor!" Jia Lian hurriedly covered her mouth, "I just think about it in my heart, how can I say it? In short, let's stay away from the fight between gods and goddesses, and don't let ourselves suffer. ."

Sister Feng nodded quickly, and Jia Lian let go.

"But, Brother Lian, according to what you said, we and Feng Ziying belonged to the original Prince Yizhong. Isn't that against the emperor?"

Sister Feng said, startling herself. "No, my uncle is still the Jiedu envoy in Beijing. I heard that Shengjuan Zhenglong, brother Lian, you must be talking nonsense!"

.

Chapter [*], the beautiful girl and her elder brother ([*]) Jia Lian sneered: "It wasn't that your uncle Shengjuan Zhenglong got the position of Jiedushi, but your uncle was the Jiedushi envoy of Beijing. He said it clearly. One point, your uncle's powerful position is like a castle on the beach, looking majestic and majestic, in fact, it only needs a big water rush and it will collapse."

Sister Feng's face was ugly, "Hmph, I don't believe you! Jealousy is jealousy." After saying this verbally, she already believed it by three points in her heart.

Jia Lian smiled and said: "You can believe it or not. We are just chatting when we close the door. After all, I'm not afraid that Feng Ziying and the others will set up a situation and let me share some profits with them, but I'm only worried about that soldier and horse division. It was sent by the people from King Zhongshun's side. Originally, I just wanted to make a fortune in a low-key manner, but instead I stood in the center of the whirlpool. This is really not what I want!"

Sister Feng worried: "Brother Lian, what should we do now?"

She is majestic in the inner house, but can't do anything about the outside.

Jia Lian smiled and asked, "Feng'er, let me ask you, who is the biggest in this world?"

Sister Feng replied: "Of course it is the emperor!"

Jia Lian asked again: "Is that the emperor, or the emperor?"

Sister Feng thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "Should it still be the emperor? After all, the emperor has already abdicated. Besides," she whispered this time, "it's been a few years. By then, it will not be the emperor's world?"

Jia Lian praised: "My Feng'er is still smart. Why don't those people understand such a simple truth?"

Sister Feng didn't understand and wanted to ask.

Jia Lian smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this little thing outside, I will take care of it. You just wait at home to count the money!"

Sister Feng spat: "If you don't tell me, I wouldn't ask for it! I won't make trouble with you. At this point, the old lady is going to eat. I have instructed the kitchen to make you your favorite goose breast with rouge. Let Ping'er Let them eat with you! Also, eat as much as you want, you are not allowed to touch them."

Jia Lian responded one by one.

So Sister Feng came out of the yard, bypassed the big screen wall of powder oil, and hurriedly rushed to the old lady's main room.

The old lady put her arms around Baoyu, who was like a ball of powder, and said with love: "Baoyu is weak since he was a child, and he can't blow the wind. That's why I specially arranged it in the green gauze closet, so that people can always look after it. It's so easy to grow like this. Great, thanks to the blessings of God and Buddha, there is no disaster or disease. You are still not satisfied, forcing him to study today, forcing him to write tomorrow, you will only be willing to destroy him!"

Mrs. Wang sat on the ground chair and explained quickly, "It's not forcing him. It's just that Baoyu is so old that he hasn't achieved enlightenment yet, so he should find a gentleman to teach him how to read."

Baoyu was unhappy when he heard the two words to read, and begged the old lady: "Old Ancestor, my grandson is taught by a sister-in-law, and he already knows how to read. Besides, the gentlemen are shaking their heads. I can only stare at myself and let myself read, I must not have a real talent to learn. It’s better for my grandson to read books by himself.”

Madam Wang said displeasedly, "Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Wang, who was looking for you in the past, has a serious background, doesn't he have talent?"

Baoyu's eyes burst into tears: "Then Mr. Wang will always beat people with a ruler, and I will never go again."

When the old lady heard that this gentleman would beat people, her face changed immediately, and she reprimanded: "This kind of person is also worthy of teaching my Baoyu! Go, pay a few taels of silver, and don't let him come to our door again!"

Madam Wang hurriedly stood up and replied, "Old lady calm down, his daughter-in-law has told him to go back."

The old lady's anger didn't subside when Sister Feng stepped in just a little bit. Seeing Mrs. Wang standing in the middle, she smiled and said, "Old lady, I'll give you an idea. I guarantee that you and your wife agree, and Baoyu is also willing!"

The old lady just turned her anger into joy and asked, "What can you do?"

Sister Feng said: "I heard that there is an aunt in the Muni Academy outside Ximen, who is extremely talented and learned. It is better to invite them to teach Yingchun. Since Baoyu is not willing to teach from outside teachers, he can let him listen to the girls. This kills two birds with one stone. ."

Baoyu can listen to it with the sisters, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?Even though he still asked Mr. Wang to come back, he was happy.

Madam Wang couldn't help but ask, "How old is this girl?"

Sister Feng said: "Only in her forties, even the ladies in the palace often invite her to talk about poetry and writing, which shows that she is different from ordinary girls."

The old lady nodded slightly, "Then it will be carried by a small sedan every three or five days, so you can't neglect it. But there is one point, you need to make it clear to her, you only need to teach three hundred thousand ancient writers, and then It is enough to add some four books, but you can't teach Buddhist scriptures and Zen principles, and you can change your temperament."

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, old lady and madam, I'll go to invite them tomorrow. Let Baoyu and a few younger sisters meet first, and I can teach you if you're willing."

Mrs. Wang also thought it was appropriate and naturally agreed.

As everyone knows, Zen masters teach Zen principles, not in words, but in deeds. Even if you don’t say a word, those with wisdom will naturally have an epiphany.This is another story.

The old lady stroked Baoyu's head, "Wait two years for Baoyu to recover, and I'll let him out. I won't care who you ask to teach him then."

Baoyu raised her eyebrows and smiled, and bowed at Sister Feng, "Thank you, Sister Feng!"

Sister Feng hurriedly helped, "How can I get your thanks? I just said that you should thank the old lady and the wife!"

The old lady smiled and said, "I know you feel sorry for Baoyu too, and don't want him to suffer. This is what a sister-in-law looks like."

Mrs. Wang also smiled and said, "Sometimes she reminds me when I don't even notice. But the old lady should not be too accustomed to her. If she wants to praise her, she will fly into the sky."

The old lady put her arms around Baoyu dotingly, and said, "Girl Feng hasn't been here for a long time, but she knows how to prepare everything at home, and she can hold down those old wives and daughters-in-law, ten times stronger than her mother-in-law! Girl Feng, I It has always been fair. If you do well, I will naturally reward you. If you should fly to the sky, fly freely."

The smile on Mrs. Wang's face was always undiminished, and her eyes never took away from Baoyu.

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Old lady, ma'am, don't worry, depending on how high I fly, the thread is still in your hands! If you let go, I will be gone." She stepped forward and sat beside the couch. He squatted down and gently tugged at the front of the old lady's shirt, "Old lady, you must clench it tightly, it's windy up there!"

The old lady tapped Sister Feng's forehead with her finger, "I want to hold you and let Brother Lian hold it away, to see if he is pestering you, or are you pestering him?"

Sister Feng said: "Back to the old lady, he and I are enemies in the previous life, we are all entangled in a ball, we can't tell them apart!"

The old lady laughed, and Mrs. Wang smiled lightly.

.

Chapter [*]: The Beautiful Girl and Brother ([*]) Sister Feng's daily schedule is very tight. She serves Jia Lian's daily life early in the morning, and immediately instructs the stewards and daughters-in-law in the west wing room, issues party cards, and instructs the account to be paid. Silver, and then the most important thing is to go to the old lady's courtyard to flatter, and then go to the wife to talk.When he is free, he will inevitably have to console Jia Lianyi or two.It was really all right, so I took the time to go to the East Road Courtyard to see Mrs. Xing.

No, Sister Feng arranged for the old lady's meal, and then sat in a small sedan chair, going from the north to the south, out of the east courtyard.

Only when I walked to the veranda beside the East Corner Gate, there were whispered discussions outside the door.

Sister Feng lightly stepped and approached quietly.

A woman said, "Let me tell you, the second grandmother is really amazing. She doesn't even pay attention to the serious mother-in-law, and she only flatters the wife over there. I don't know where I belong."

Another old woman smiled and said, "Who doesn't know that the second grandmother is the wife's niece over there, and it is normal to be close."

"Bah!" The old woman said, "Then you can't step on the mother-in-law's head to please others! These days, the eldest master is afraid that he will not be able to get up. Forget it, there are old ladies who are pampering them, so we can't care about it. But our wife's monthly bill is not only two days later than the girls, but also two taels shorter! What is this called?

The other mothers said: "No way? No matter what, the second grandma is not like that kind of person? Could it be a mistake?"

Another old woman interjected: "Why not? Look at the face of the second grandmother, her eyebrows are raised, but she is not a kind person. In my opinion, she must have deducted our monthly money and went out to lend money to make money. This kind of Before...how could it be impossible?"

She almost revealed the shameful deeds she had done back then.

Several old ladies also thought, "No wonder the monthly schedule for these two months is not distributed as usual. I thought it was because the accountant didn't have time. Anyway, it was only a few days before and after, so I didn't pay attention."

The old woman said: "You are rich, and you can deal with it in a day or two. Like our case, we have no backers, and no one is filial and filial. We all rely on a few taels of silver every month to survive. One day late, our family How many people have to go hungry, and she can bear it!"

"Yes, don't look at her like a delicate goblin, she is cruel!"

"You are from there. From the perspective of the wife, it will not happen to you for the time being. But be careful. When she finishes cleaning up our useless things, it will be your turn next time!"
