The daily life of Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

Time passed by, and soon it was the day for the Jia's banquet.

Xing Shuang stayed in the house every day these days, eating and sleeping well, and often secretly used some spiritual spring water to recuperate at night.Although I didn't use it much because I was afraid that the wound would heal too quickly and cause suspicion, but the injury on my body was obviously improving rapidly.So far, there have been no major hindrances.However, after all, the recuperation time is still short, and the torment was too much before, so the gauze still cannot be removed now.Therefore, if you go out to meet guests, it will be a bit shameful.

Since Jiamu was going to have a banquet that day, she wanted to ease the relationship with Xing Shuang, so in the past few days, she sent servants to bring some easy-to-eat snacks, such as yam and jujube paste cakes, to visit her.Naturally, Mother Jia also knew about Xing Shuang's current physical condition.

In this regard, Jia's mother is mixed.

He was naturally happy because he thought of this as an excuse, so he simply didn't let Xing Shuang go out to entertain guests.Although Mrs. Xing hasn't done anything wrong recently, she is very peaceful, and I have comforted her a lot recently.But, for some reason, thinking about Mrs. Xing, who is not playing cards according to common sense, she feels a little uneasy!

Therefore, it would be great to think that it would be great if she could cut off her chance of having a banquet in front of people today.

What is worrying is that if a guest insists on asking and visiting Xing Shuang, if he keeps blocking him, he may be trying to cover it up.It's not beautiful!

But now, I can't care less.After all, with Xing Shuang's current appearance, it is really not suitable to appear in front of others.

Therefore, early in the morning, Mother Jia sent Yuanyang to inform Xing Shuang of her decision, saying that Xing Shuang didn't have to forcefully get up to welcome guests with her for today's banquet.Yuanyang talked to Xing Shuang in private again, and the main idea was that the old lady was considerate of the eldest lady's body, so Xing Shuang would not let Xing Shuang accompany her to the banquet.

Let me mention Xing Shuang inside and outside the words, and today I will live and cultivate in peace in the house.The implication is that An Sheng stays in the house today, don't run around...

As for Xing Shuang, she didn't mind either.After all, she is also happy and at ease without having to go out to deal with a group of ladies who are in a panic.It's just a little trouble for Jia's mother, she doesn't want to make herself uncomfortable.She has always advertised that she likes to live a leisurely life and doesn't want to make trouble for herself.

Therefore, I agreed very happily.

Of course, if you have to deal with it, that's another story.After all, although she doesn't like to make trouble, she is never afraid of trouble...

A timely counterattack is also necessary!

This banquet is a post in the name of appreciating plums.It's just that the plum blossoms in Anxiangwu, Ningguo Mansion, are in full bloom, just for fun.

Of course, although the mansion had received a lot of invitations before, Mother Jia didn't invite so many people this time.It's just that a few popular families were selected to send posts.The Marquis of Jinxiang, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of the Household Department, and the Yushi of Zuodu also invited Princess Nan'an to come over to suppress the situation.

In the Rongguo Mansion, the main entrance was wide open.As early as half an hour before the appointed time, Jia Mu led Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng to greet her at the door.

Li Wan, since Jia Zhu passed away, he no longer attended such occasions.What's more, her own eloquence can't be used on such occasions, so nine out of ten times she must be absent.Because she is a widow and her child is still young, no one will force her on such an occasion.

Because it is an ordinary flower viewing banquet, and there are not many guests, the etiquette system is not strict.After welcoming the guests, Mother Jia and the others led the guests to the Rongqing Hall to exchange pleasantries.After tea and changing clothes, everyone was humbled for half a day before taking their seats.On the top seat is Nan'an Concubine, and on the bottom are several wives in order.

On the right hand side is the main seat of Jia Mu.Mrs. Wang took Feng Sister You Shi and stood respectfully behind Jia Mu.Outside, Lin Zhixiao led all the daughters-in-law to wait outside the bamboo curtain, waiting for tea and snacks to be replaced.Those who followed were also taken to other places for resettlement.

However, what is particularly interesting about this banquet is that the few families who received the invitations coincidentally came with the old ladies from various mansions and their daughters-in-law.Except for Concubine Nan'an, all of them are like this, which is also very rare.

Why?

It's all because these old ladies usually live a little too simple.It's rare that something like this happened in Beijing, and there was a lot of excitement.What's more, it is very rare for a family like the Duke's mansion.

Furthermore, he also used this incident to warn his daughter-in-law.

Xin said, I want you to take a look at what kind of miserable life the eldest wife of Rongguo Mansion is living.How dare you complain to my son in private that I treat you badly and treat you harshly.How dare you not be filial to me in the future?Didn't I just occasionally give my son a few housemaids?Even if you help her to be a concubine, and the concubine can buy and sell, so what if you don't like to sell it?You see, what kind of life is your daughter-in-law living, and what kind of life are you living?With such a comparison, can you still say that I treat you badly?

But I don't want to think about it, can the concubine bestowed by the elders be sold easily?If it is really sold, you may be the first person to be anxious!

After tea, Mother Jia led the ladies to Ningguo Mansion to enjoy the plum blossoms.

The Anxiangwu in Ningguo Mansion was built facing the water, and the water surface was still frozen. On the side of the pool water was a rockery with many lakes and rocks.What is not around is a group of trees, about hundreds of them, all of which are famous products searched from all over the place.At this time, it is in full bloom, the snow is blooming, and the fragrance is left in the cold.

However, those beautiful plum blossoms were all white-dyed with make-up, and they were completely winking to the blind, because everyone didn't focus on admiring the flowers.So, after a quick walk through the garden, I went out.

After leaving the garden, someone asked about Mrs. Xing.

Jia's mother said that Mrs. Xing was ill, and she said that she was going to visit her.Zhidao, since he has passed the residence and knows that the host is sick, there is no reason why he should not visit him.

Jia Mu said that there was nothing serious about it. As a junior, she didn't need to bother so many people to see her, and she couldn't afford it.

Then the person said, since there is nothing serious, it is better to go and have a look.It is also necessary to walk across the mansion and say hello to the wife of the long room.After all, she is an authentic headed wife.It would be rude not to visit immediately.How can we still turn a blind eye?

What can Jia Mu say?It is said that the wife of the second room is in charge of their house, so it is enough to say hello to her?

I can't!

Even Concubine Nan'an who came to press the stage didn't say anything.What people say is reasonable, what reason do you have to stop it?

Besides, which of the people present has a low status that can allow her to overwhelm others?

Therefore, she came here today to save face for Mother Jia, and to suppress the situation.But it won't interfere too much, just try to ease the atmosphere!

Therefore, Mother Jia can only accompany these imperial wives while winking at Yuanyang.

Who is the mandarin duck?That's the most favorite person around Jia Mu. With just one look from Jia Mu, she knows everything.

Quickly took a shortcut and rushed towards Mrs. Xing's courtyard first.There seemed to be a gust of wind blowing where he passed by, and his clothes fluttered.

As for Xing Shuang, she was feeling a little bored, when she heard the notification that the mandarin duck next to Jiamu came again...

Xing Shuang thought that she had heard the little maid talk about the arrangements for the reception of guests in the mansion, shouldn't her son Yuanyang accompany Jia Mu and the guests to enjoy the plum blossoms?

Then, I heard from Yuanyang that all the ladies heard that the eldest wife in the house was ill, so they didn't go around the garden much, they just walked around in a hurry.Just rushed to visit.She's already on her way here, so she'll come here first to report.Let Xing Shuang roughly tidy up, change clothes and put on makeup, and look more energetic.Also, there are places that are a bit of an eyesore, and what should be covered is covered.At any rate, don't tell yourself to disrespect everyone's wife.

As expected of a mandarin duck, she really knows the art of speaking.It's just that the order is slightly reversed, and the meaning is completely changed.It sounds much more pleasant.

Xing Shuang didn't make things difficult for her, she responded to what she said, and behaved obediently.

Mandarin Duck asks her to clean up and dress up. She dresses up as she should, but puts effort into dressing up.Where the face is covered with make-up, the part that should be white is very white, like white powder, and the red part is very red, like the flushing on the face after a fever.There was an abnormality in the whole face.

The clothes are also brand new, made of the rare material that Jia's mother rewarded a few days ago, but made by the sewing room according to Mrs. Xing's previous size.However, due to the tossing and tossing of Xing Shuang's body in the first few days when he first arrived, he lost a few catties of flesh.Even after a few days of supplementation, it was not accomplished overnight.Therefore, the clothes looked empty inside, and Mrs. Xing's body seemed a little thinner.

The ladies who came to see Madam Xing did not expect to see such Madam Xing.Before, when I heard the rumors in the capital, I also thought that Mrs. Xing might have a bad life, but there are many wives in the capital who are not happy.Also said that the rumors are too exaggerated!

However, looking at Mrs. Xing's appearance now, I'm afraid it's not false at all.

What's more, people like them all have a glamorous appearance, even if there is something wrong, they have to pretend to be good on the surface.This old lady of Jia's mansion actually didn't even care about superficial efforts towards this eldest lady...

For a while, I really sympathized with Mrs. Xing!

Several daughters-in-law who came with their mother-in-law have something hurt their kind.

Some also feel that Xing Shuang himself is not up to date, but most of them are sympathetic.

There are also more thoughtful ones, looking for the reason why Mrs. Xing's life is so pitiful, and then decide to maintain a good relationship with her natal family after returning home.You should also care more about the future of your natal father and brother, encourage your nephew to make more progress, and give your husband a good pillow blowing. Wherever you can reach out, you must pull your natal family...

Really, the noble lady who doesn't have the support of her mother's family can't afford to hurt her!
