[Red House Chai Dai] Salted Pork Knuckle, Crab Rice Wine

Seeing Qin Shi lying on the imperial concubine's couch, Jia Zhen looked more and more graceful, and she didn't feel her heart moved, so she went over to try to tug, but Qin Shi had already thrown her sleeve off.When Jia Zhen was stunned, Mrs. Qin had already sat down on the couch, and said calmly, "How is the master? I think the master has misread the person, and grandma is not here."

Jia Zhen stomped her feet angrily, and called Qin's baby name: "King, you know me, why bother to tease me again! You grew up in this house since you were a child, how do I always treat you? You don’t know? Let’s just say that the woman surnamed You was married by my father after Rong’er’s mother passed away. How dare I say anything? What can I do if you marry Rong’er in a fit of anger? Now your body is just right , is about to focus on maintenance, don't get angry and hurt your body."

When Qin heard the words, she shed tears: "You don't need to say more. I only hate my own life. I was abandoned by my parents when I was born, but I was born and raised in this mansion. I know you. Now everyone in the family is secretly Pointing at my spine and scolding me, don’t I know? It’s better to just die from the illness and let it go, and it’s all over.”

Seeing her like this, Jia Zhen couldn't bear it in her heart. Needless to say, she comforted her in every possible way, and Qin Shifang slowly calmed down.Suddenly recalling the past, she sneered and said to Jia Zhen: "Your mother-in-law, you still have to change the way to abuse others. It's fine to make up my words outside. Today, I have to say that the weather is good and I want to go out to relax. , so to speak, forced to accompany her to go shopping in the garden, but there is no peace for a moment. I am afraid that she will not give up until I die! I am a tiger in Pingyang, before when my family was undefeated, would she dare to do this? At that time, she saw me every day I was all smiling and kind, and made me look like a mother-in-law. I only thought she was a sensible person, but I didn't expect her to be vicious."

Jia Zhen hurriedly tried to persuade him, "Master Qiantui was just reprimanded and ordered to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors. It may not mean that he has lost his sacred heart. What's more, the foundation of the old Qiantui is still there. I'm afraid it's not easy to do anything excessive today." After thinking about it Thinking and saying: "Youshi's wife has always been cautious. If she said she didn't like you, she probably did. But if she deliberately abused you, she wouldn't dare to forgive you. There are a lot of people in the family, and it is inevitable that some bad-hearted people will go down. People like to gossip, and she has nothing to do with it. Don't worry too much. After all, she is reluctant to run the house, and it is her father's decision. If there is no major mistake, it is absolutely unacceptable."

When Qin heard this, she sneered a few times, but she also knew that You was the orthodox after all, so she couldn't stop, so she had to admit that she was unlucky.Jia Zhen said a lot of good words to comfort her from the side, and she slowly calmed down.Seeing that she was getting better, Jia Zhen said again: "I miss you in my heart. I am entertaining guests outside. After hearing what Peifeng said, why don't I come here in a hurry, for fear that you will suffer?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Qin sighed: "Unexpectedly, the two girls, Pei Fengming Luan, are very alert. I am definitely not in good health, and now I am just living. When I die, you will take them into the house. I want to see what else your mother-in-law has to say!"

Jia Zhen knew she was speaking in anger, so she tried her best to comfort her.Due to some entanglements, Jia Jing made the decision that day, and Qin was fostered in Ningguo Mansion since she was a child. Jia Zhen was like a big brother at that time, who often coaxed her, so she knew her temperament and was familiar with the road.Then the Qin family got better, and suddenly remembered something again, and said with a sneer to Jia Zhen: "It's nothing more than a woman surnamed You, there are even more ridiculous things. The sister Feng in the West Mansion calls you big brother all day long. I just said that she is also a friend who I met when I was a child, and I never avoid her in everything. I didn't expect that she blindly said good things on the surface, but secretly colluded with the surname You and made up bad things about me. Otherwise, Miss Xue today, I've always been a sensible person, why would I come here in such clothes? The jokes have spread to relatives!"

Jia Zhensu knew Qin's nature, but she felt that she was overthinking and suspicious in everything. She smiled and explained: "Then Miss Feng is not such a troublesome person. I'm afraid you think too much. Let's not worry about this, let me ask you first. , Miss Xue has no contact with our manor on weekdays, so what is the purpose of coming to look for you today?"

Qin Shi saw that he tried his best to excuse You Shi and Sister Feng, although she felt unwilling, she had to put it aside for the time being, because when Jia Zhen asked about Baochai, she had to explain: "A few days ago, the old school teacher in the school Didn’t he have a dead grandson? Miss Xue’s elder brother and Zhong’er are both his classmates, so they had to go to Tiekan Temple to see off her last journey. Unexpectedly, for some trivial matter, her brother gave Zhong’er to him. Hit. The old ladies and wives in the West Mansion were afraid that I would feel uncomfortable and make things difficult for me, so they urged her to come to the mansion to make amends for her brother."

Jia Zhen was surprised when she heard this and said, "What happened? I went there that day. Because of something at home, I went back early and didn't pay attention to Zhong'er. I think that since he is with Baoyu, there must be no mistakes. Who would have thought that idiot Xue would be so disrespectful to me?"

Qin couldn't help but chuckled and said: "You don't pretend to be garlic? I don't know that you and that Uncle Xue are usually the best friends. They ate, drank, whored and gambled together behind their backs, and did a lot of deeds. You must be hindering Uncle Xue's affection, no good It’s just for Zhong’er’s sake. Now I’m pretending not to know. Don’t worry, I won’t blame you for this. In the end, it was Zhong’er’s fault in the first place. I told the Qin family that Zhong’er’s behavior is not good. Now, the old man can't raise children, what can I do?"

Seeing that she was exposed, Jia Zhen smiled apologetically and said, "Idiot Xue already knew he was wrong. I'm afraid I will invite you to a table in a few days to make a special trip to make amends to Zhong Er. In my opinion, it's better to make the big things smaller, that's all." never mind."

Qin wondered: "Don't you think it's me who refuses to give up? It's the old lady in the Xifu who is careful. What can I do? I'm afraid that if they know about my family, they will throw their hands away like rubble and mud. Yes. Speaking of which, Miss Xue is also a pitiful person. I looked on coldly, and her appearance and temperament are very good. Although she is a bit pedantic, since she is a daughter's family, she is not afraid."

Jia Zhen said with a smile: "Let's not talk about outsiders. I suddenly thought of something. It is a pity that the Xue family is a wealthy family, and Xue idiot is such a person. After a few days, when he offered wine to apologize , I recruited Feng Ziying to lobby, although money is common, I am afraid that Lord Qiansui will need it."

Mrs. Qin shook her head and said: "This matter is the business of the elders. What do you ask me for? You men only think about the merits of the dragon all day long. If you want me to say, the whole family lives behind closed doors." , it’s better to stay away from these foreign affairs. All my life, I have been implicated by these things.”

Jia Zhen laughed when she heard this, and said disapprovingly, "Why do you have the same accent as your father? He is old and has lost all his previous ambitions, why do you say that?"

Qin sighed quietly: "I was destined to meet your injustice, how can I care about other things?"

When Jia Zhen heard the words, she felt pity and love for the Qin family even more, needless to say.

Let's say that Xue Baochai bid farewell to Qin Keqing, and hurried out of Huifang Garden along the original road, and then went to Youshi's place, but when she heard the maids and women say that Youshi had suddenly suffered from an old illness, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, but she didn't have much theory. Fang went to say a few words, but seeing Youshi's gloomy face, he didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly left Ningguo Mansion.The woman who had led her into the mansion through the corner gate of the garden had disappeared, and Youshi sent another woman to escort Baochai out of the mansion.

Baochai just felt that this half day was like a dream, seeing and hearing many unexpected things before, although she had many suspicions in her heart, but after all, it was someone else's family business, so she didn't talk about it, and rushed straight to the Lixiangyuan.

Because she has taken over some of the business in her dowry with all her strength, she has been coming in and out in the past few days, more than before, so she is more familiar with the road.Unexpectedly, as soon as the car stopped in front of the black painted gate leading to the street, the gate was opened from the inside, and immediately after, many people embraced Aunt Xue and came out.

Aunt Xue didn't wait for others to do it, she opened the curtain of the car for Baochai herself. When she saw Baochai, she cried bitterly, saying that Baochai had been wronged.

Baochai was startled, she had never seen this before, besides, Aunt Xue's posture was too much for her as a daughter, so she hurriedly got out of the car, grabbed Aunt Xue by her arm, and said in a sobbing voice: " Why is mother like this? What happened?"

Aunt Xue held Baochai's hand tightly, and she didn't speak even though she was crying. Wen Xing, Tongxi, Tonggui and other maids, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law all laughed and said, "Is there anything else? Isn't it?" Miss the girl? Since the girl went out, the wife has been restless and has been standing at the door waiting."

When Baochai heard the words, she was skeptical, but felt flattered, and hurriedly persuaded Aunt Xue: "Why is this mother? How long has my daughter been gone?" At first, she still complained that Aunt Xue mistrusted Sister Feng's words, which made her almost The trickster, now that she heard that Aunt Xue was like this, even the last trace of doubt in her heart disappeared, and she thought to herself: In terms of scheming, how can an honest person like my mother be compared with Sister Feng?He must have been coaxed by her without saying a few words.What's more, Sister Feng is notoriously clever and capable, and she is also the mother's niece. How can the mother not believe her?I can only hate that sister Feng for hiding traitors and deceiving honest people. In the future, I should persuade my mother to stay away from her.

Aunt Xue sobbed and said, "It's your elder brother's fault that forced you to suffer such grievances. You are the meat that fell from my body, how can I feel better? After you left in the car in the morning, I I muttered in my heart, regretting deeply. If you really have something wrong, how can I explain to your father when I close my eyes in the future? You only know that I have been waiting in front of the door all these times, but you don’t know what’s going on in my heart. I'm talking to your brother, if you don't come back by noon, or if something goes wrong, I will try my best not to, and go to Ningguo Mansion to beg for someone, and argue with that theory surnamed Qin Go! Ask your brother if I told him so?"

When Baochai looked up, he saw Xue Pan coming out from behind the gate in a dazed manner.Baochai was even more touched, and hurriedly supported Aunt Xue and said, "It's broad daylight, what kind of words are the whole family standing on the street, for fear of being seen as a joke. Mother, please come in, and wait for the daughter to talk to mother carefully. report."

In fact, although Lixiangyuan is connected to the street, it is not a bustling market with people coming and going. It was originally a very secluded alley. Seeing the high walls of Rongning Second Mansion, where did passers-by see it?It's just that the whole family can't stand here all the time, otherwise what kind of dignity would it be?

Baochai said so, but Aunt Xue agreed, so she stepped down the steps, and with Baochai's hand, the whole family entered the black lacquered gate and walked around the screen.

Baochai raised her head and saw a table full of dishes in the hall facing her, and there were people holding the dishes outside and putting them outside, she couldn't help but wonder: "Who is this banquet for?"

Aunt Xue heard the words and took a look at Xue Pan. Xue Pan came forward and made a bow to Baochai, saying, "Good sister, it's not good to be an elder brother. You have been wronged!" Surprised and delighted, she hastily declined, not daring to accept his gift.

I also heard Aunt Xue laughing and said: "I often hear people say that the dishes of Zhiweiju in the capital are good, after all, I have never tasted them. Now I specially ordered the dishes of Zhiweiju from outside, and a table was full and said that I would like to share them with you." You apologize, but also let me try something new."

When Baochai heard this, she felt even more embarrassed, and said, "I can't bear this. Even my mother made fun of me."

Aunt Xue said seriously: "It's not a joke. I often tell people that my daughter is much better than my son."

The family was in harmony, chatting and laughing as they entered the table.During the banquet, Aunt Xue kept serving dishes for Baochai, which made Baochai feel embarrassed.Not long after dinner, Xue Pan couldn't sit still, so he went out on the pretext of having something to do.Baochai personally served tea to Aunt Xue, and the two girls were very affectionate and chatted with each other.

Aunt Xue said: "After all, you were a little reckless about Xiangling. You should think about it carefully. If it really gets out, don't you have a good reputation? You can't blame me for being angry for so many days. But since you are so determined, Thinking about it, there must be some reason for you. How can a mother ignore her daughter because of a maid? Besides, you have made great efforts for your brother's affairs, and it is worth it." Baochai heard what Aunt Xue said. , Knowing that this matter has been revealed, I am overjoyed.

Aunt Xue went on to say: "The only thing I am worried about now is that if I promised Mr. Qin Xiaosong, I will set up wine with him in a few days to make amends. I am afraid that your brother will be angry, and then something will happen and make trouble." What happened."
