The whole heaven is watching Lao Tzu fall in love [Red Mansion]

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.The two on this side were having a good time, while on the other side, Mrs. Zhang let the dyed ink comb her hair, and at the same time took a piece of letter paper to examine it carefully.

Looking at it, she suddenly sneered, but slightly shook her head at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi knew it, and hurried up to pick up the jasper comb, and sent the ink away.

Only then did Mrs. Zhang slowly say: "Liu Yi, look at this, the old lady's heart is getting more and more lost!"

Liu Yi hurriedly lowered her head and took it. After reading it, Liu Yi frowned immediately, and said in disbelief: "The old lady has such a thought in her heart, when did she start?"

"I'm afraid it started when the Lin family came to pay their respects." Mrs. Zhang lazily leaned back on the chair, "I heard that my niece is so attractive to my brother-in-law, how can she not make good plans for her precious egg?" Plan? That's a lot of money!"

Liu Yi said in a low voice: "Don't say that Mr. Lin loves Miss like a treasure. The second master... After all, he is from the fifth rank. How can he be in-laws with a senior second rank official? Besides, the second master over there said, It is not as high as the third young master of our family. Our eldest family dare not mention it, they..."

"Silly girl," Zhang's voice also lowered, "they are planning to get closer. The Lin family said last time that my brother-in-law has already started to save the dowry, and right now they are sending decent people to look around. Find good red sandalwood to make a bed for your daughter—my brother-in-law has been in Yanzheng for so many years, how about the family, don’t you and I have no idea?” Her mouth flicked suddenly, “This mansion The people in this world have a heart of wealth and honor, and eyes of dignity!"

But Liu Yi bowed and said: "My servant is watching, I'm afraid my aunt is not willing."

"How can Min'er be willing?" Mrs. Zhang sipped her tea and said with a smile, "The relationship between my younger siblings and her has never been very good. Is it impossible to marry my sweetheart in and be tortured by others? Even if there is an old lady to take care of her." Now, how can the old lady still protect her for the rest of her life? Her tone was very annoyed, and she said that she would rather marry Brother Lang than give it to Baoyu."

Liu Yi smiled and said: "This is a close family. My aunt has always been the most reasonable person, and she won't make any difference in teaching the children. Our Brother Lang, although we didn't say it to the outside world, is a great fortune. Besides, the master Being a first-rank general, and his wife loving his nephew, wouldn't it be more comfortable than marrying into someone else's house?"

Mrs. Zhang shook her head again and again: "It's still too early to say this. The child is still too young, and his temperament and temperament are still uncertain. If they get along well, it's fine. If they don't, wouldn't it be a waste of the girl's life? I don't ask for it. Brother, what a great fortune, you are safe and sound, as long as you know how to make progress."

Liu Yi pursed her lips again and said with a smile: "The third young master is still young, the wife should watch with her eyes first, and decide on the second master's marriage!"

"What you said is very reasonable," Mrs. Zhang licked her hair in front of the mirror, and said with a smile, "it just so happens that the Liu family is hosting a banquet today, and Niu Wan's child will also go with her old lady. It's okay if you come with me Worry about it for me."

Liu Yi hurriedly bowed her head in response.

As expected, Mrs. Zhang went back to Jia Mu today, took a Zhu Yingbao-built car, took Liu Yi, and wandered all the way to Liu's mansion.

The Liu family is a Hanlin Qingliu that has been passed down for decades. The family population is simple, with only one wife and one concubine, and no children of concubines, so there are not many secrets in the inner government.Mr. Liu is currently working for the Guozijian. His wife Zhou, Zhang and Jia Min play handkerchiefs together in their boudoirs, and they are always good at talking together.

So as soon as he entered the door with a smile, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly came up to him: "Oh, why did this distinguished guest come in today? It made me feel really scared."

"You're here again," Mrs. Zhang pushed her with a smile, "How many times in a year can I not step through your door?"

Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "The present is not what it used to be. Mother Juren, I don't believe that you came to this school for me. Why don't you explain it quickly?"

Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips: "You and I know it well, why bother to say more!"

The two hand in hand crossed the path to the garden, and from a distance, they saw that the garden was full of girls who looked like flowers and willows. The green and concubine Yang colors were not worn by married young women like them. I was startled for a while.

"Why, these wives have brought their own daughters here?" Mrs. Zhang was quite surprised, "Didn't you say that Niu Wan is the only girl?"

Mrs. Zhou pushed her: "You still don't know? Your brother Lian has won the election right now, and he will be the one who wants to become a prince in the future. With the help of a family like the Zhang family and the Beijing Palace, I'm afraid that these people will take care of you. You are a sweet potato!"

Mrs. Zhang was surprised: "When did our family have the help of the Beijing Palace?"

"Oh, don't hide it from me." Zhou curled her lips, "No one in the capital now knows that even the royal bestowal, the prince of Beijing, can be given to Brother Lang as a toy to play with. Go over to the government. This relationship is so, how can it not be considered as a help?"

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly asked: "Who did you listen to? It's spread too widely, I'm afraid it will..."

When she said this, Mrs. Zhou immediately understood, and couldn't help but also frowned: "I don't know where I heard it, but it has been spread among us." She thought for a while, and then comforted her. , "Don't worry about it. Although the Beijing Palace is favored, it has no real power. It will arouse the suspicion of the Tian Family."

While talking here, the two of them have already stepped into the garden.When autumn is high and the air is crisp, the garden is full of exotic flowers and plants, and there is even a white chrysanthemum with a large bowl mouth, whose petals are stretched, which is pleasing to the eye.Mrs. Zhou went to greet other guests, but Mrs. Zhang sat in the octagonal pavilion and talked with several familiar ladies.

After talking for a while, I saw a few young girls being dragged by their mother to come here, and the wife next to her couldn't help laughing and said: "Look, before you say it clearly, there are a bunch of people rushing over here. "

When Mrs. Zhang looked at them, these girls were all well-born, with apricot faces, peach cheeks, and slim figures.It's just that the look in his eyes was not very steady, it was very erratic, and he couldn't help shaking his head secretly in his heart.

It's not that she looks down on these small families with little foundation, it's just that if one wants to be the head of the house, one must be knowledgeable and know how to advance and retreat.People often say that a virtuous wife has few misfortunes, and marrying a daughter-in-law is not for the purpose of being a vase at home!

She still had a smile on her face, but she was very alienated, and dismissed these delicate guests with a few words.In the end, he couldn't help but sighed slightly, and sat down again in the pavilion.Seeing her like this, the wives didn't like her, they looked at each other and smiled, and continued to chat for a few days about household matters.What they talked about was going to the banquet, etc., and they talked about which daughter was good-looking, which troupe sang well, and they chattered non-stop for a while.

After a while, Mrs. Zhou came again, sitting beside her and pushing her with his hands, and said with a smile: "Here, where is your target today. Why don't you go and have a look?"

Mrs. Zhang followed her gaze to the garden, and sure enough, she saw a curvaceous girl standing beside the clear stream, holding a fishing rod, standing there silently waiting for the fish to take the bait.

When I looked again, the girl was wearing a hazy purple printed long jacket, with a moon-white gauze skirt underneath, and her hair was tied up in a bun.Looking from a distance, one can see that he is slender and graceful.

She nodded slightly, and said: "Wait a while, when you hold a banquet, you have to introduce me well."

This meal was a feast for the host and guests, and when they returned to Jia's mansion, Mrs. Zhang had a smile on her lips.

Others are especially good, but Liu Yi understands her thoughts best, and she couldn't help laughing: "Seeing my wife like this, we are going to have more second mistresses soon."

"I can't say for sure, but in my opinion, he is really good," Mrs. Zhang sighed. "It's not such a pompous character, but he is very calm and born well. You have to discuss it with the master." We discussed it."

She untied the cloak and went to the main room, then asked Ranmo casually: "Why, Master hasn't come back yet?"

Ran Mo, who was pouring tea, lowered her head for a moment, and said in a condescending way: "Mrs. Ma'am, master is over there, sister Chunming is there!"

Zhang's hand holding the teacup to his mouth paused, and slightly looked at Liu Yi next to him.

Liu Yi said in a low voice: "Ma'am, that is the one who followed the master before the third young master was full moon, and was originally serving at Aunt Sun's side."

The candle was dimly lit, and Mrs. Sun had a few sarcastic smiles on her face: "It turned out to be her! Why, haven't you even got a aunt in the past three years?"

The maidservants in the room were all panicked and did not dare to say anything, Mrs. Zhang sighed softly and said, "Go to sleep, I'm tired after a day."

But how could she sleep, lying on the mandarin duck brocade at night tossing and turning, she didn't know what was going on in her heart.

It's not because of Jia She's pampering other women, to be honest, she's used to it.Jia Amnesty's coquettish appearance is for the sake of no one's change, and not one or two are brought into the room. If jealousy arises because of this, only himself will be tormented in the end.

But what she was doing, she couldn't tell.I just feel that this life, these long decades, is surrounded by that man in this inner courtyard.Raising children for him, honoring his parents, being diligent and thrifty for his family... Everything he does is based on that man, but when will one day be for himself?

Liu Yi spent the night on the smoke cage over there, half asleep and half awake, suddenly heard a faint sigh from the curtain: "If I gave birth to a daughter..."

When she listened again, the room was silent, as if the sigh just now came from a dream.
