Dowry maid's daily life [Red Mansion]

However, since that day when Rongning and Ningfu made concerted efforts to protect their family and defeat the enemy, regardless of whether they are masters or slaves, their spirits are different from those in the past.Having experienced the crisis of life and death together, the whole family is full of vitality, and many people have even let go of the small bumps and grievances in the past.

Especially the female relatives who stood up to preside over the situation at that time and personally led the servants to support them, they were all rejuvenated.For example, Youshi, although she is talented, her temperament is like a lukewarm swallow. No matter whether it is with the superior or the inferior, she always swallows her anger a lot.But this time, the master of the entire Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen, who is like a king, doesn't stand out. Jia Rong and Qin are timid and weak, but only Youshi and Jia Qiang command the servants of Ningguo Mansion to support the situation. , especially You Shi, became very decisive, just like another Sister Feng.

After the incident was over, Youshi took all the family members to clean up the Ningguo Mansion next door, which was invaded by some thieves who took advantage of the fire.Among them, Youshi rewarded all the meritorious persons according to their merits, and those who flinched and refused to obey, Youshi also drove them out of the house, and ordered people to watch them in the village and sell them on a certain day.It is also God's pity, Jia Zhen is ill again at this time, and the whole family has to be dispatched by You Shi to settle down, so when Jia Zhen recovers, people inside and outside Ningguo Mansion respect You Shi more than they are afraid of Jia Zhen's prestige It is capable and responsible.

The turmoil in central Beijing gradually calmed down, and the new emperor took pity on the common people, who had too much rice and food to survive. He hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened. Once the city gate was opened, the shops on the street also gradually opened their doors. This is the new emperor's love for the common people. Because of winning and arresting the rebellious party, the Taishang Huang Laohuai was pleased, and all the officials returned to their hearts because of Shengde. ——Because of the treason incident, as many as half of Du Zhongxun's relatives were implicated. The emperor's son died, and he almost became a fish on the sword, so he was very angry, so he even chose to seal the day before yesterday. The deep meaning of the Zen position is not counted, and it must be liquidated.Fortunately, the New Emperor persuaded the New Year's Eve to be approaching, so he only did a search of the mansion. When the seal is opened next year, all the evidence and charges will be fully investigated, and then the punishment will be done.

Long before the gate of the city was opened, Eucommia, Song Chen and Xie Jing, who was hiding from the limelight, were summoned as consuls. Xie Jing temporarily led an imperial army to guard the palace. Song Chen was one of the thousand households stationed in the capital of Tongzhou Daying The master cooperated with the soldiers and horses of the five cities to manage patrolling and arresting fire bans, etc., while Eucommia was borrowed by Wang Ziteng to do the work of mopping up the chaos. ——Therefore, the news from Du Yun'an and others in Biezhuang did not delay, and it soon became known that Prince Teng's mansion and Rongguo mansion were surrounded and attacked by rebels.

Wang Ziteng's family had his own generals to protect him, and his combat power was strong. Those thieves had no choice but to suffer heavy casualties.But the Rongguo Mansion was in dire straits, full of dangers, fortunately there was Jia Mu who could live there, a young master who was willing to stand up, Jiao Da, an old man in the battlefield, and someone who had supplies in the back. A rescuer sent by Wang Ziteng.

Even though Du Yun'an was far-sighted enough, he never expected that the Rong Mansion would suffer such a catastrophe because of Wang Ziteng's brave victory over a difficult enemy—you need to know that the mansion of the Xun Qi near Ning Rong Street was just robbed by some people. Scattered thieves attacked, and the battle was not as good as one of the hundreds that Rongguo Mansion suffered.

So as soon as the city gate was opened, the Du Yun'an sisters rushed into Beijing under escort.

Originally, Du Yun'an, as the adopted daughter of the royal family, had to go back to Wang Ziteng's mansion to visit Mrs. Li because of emotion and reason, but Mrs. Li specially sent someone to tell her not to go back.This time, Du Zhong took time out of his busy schedule to escort the younger sisters, because he explained to Yun An: "Master Wang has great achievements and heavy responsibilities. At this time, the guests who come to the door are either begging or clinging, so the wife said that she was sick from fright, and thanked the guests behind closed doors. But there are some people who never give up and stand guard in front of the mansion, the wife is afraid that you will be blocked and entangled if you go there, so she simply won't teach you to go there."

Yun An knew that her elder brother was working under Wang Ziteng's staff recently, and because of the name of a "relative junior" with twists and turns, he also lived in the palace by chance, so she should know the inside story.So she stopped talking about it, and only told her brother to "be careful."

Du Zhong solemnly agreed, and both brothers and sisters understood the meaning of this.

Since there is no need to divert the road, this line of carriages went straight to Rongguo Mansion.Yun An didn't ride with Yingchun Daiyu at this time, so she let go of her thoughts. She thought about Wang Ziteng for a while: "Being so cautious in your actions is not like the temperament of the Wang family who is so proud of their achievements and boasting." Yun An was in the palace At that time, I also heard a lot about Wang Ziteng's deeds. Wang Xifeng and Wang Ren's brother and sister's arrogance is really similar to that of Wang Ziteng when he was young. With such a big change, it almost completely abandons the past bones.Especially this time, after making such great achievements with blood and sweat, she was as careful as those families who have committed crimes... Yunan thought of Wang Ren from Wang Ziteng again. But this man died before they could take revenge. He died too quickly, and the splash of his death was too small...

When I arrived at Rongguo Mansion, Yingchun was still a little apprehensive. After all, except for her, the whole family had been frightened this time, so it was hard to guarantee that someone would speak up.

Unexpectedly, the sedan chair just stopped inside the hanging flower gate, and a group of housekeepers and grandmas came up to welcome them. This one said: "The old lady is already waiting, girls, come quickly!"

That one said: "Good girl, finally home is here, don't miss us to death!"

There is also Dao who is surrounded by gratitude: "Thanks to the rice grains saved by the girls, the difficulties in the whole house have been solved!"

Ping'er also came, his face was full of joy at this time, he helped Yun'an's hand, and first complained to the girls on behalf of Sister Feng: "Second Grandma got stuck in something and can't come to welcome her, please forgive me, girls."

Then he smiled to Yun An in a low voice: "Grandma is happy! I was so frightened that night, thanks to the good fortune of this child, luckily nothing happened!"

Having met Jia's mother and together with the sisters, the three of Yun'an felt that after this difficult time, the ladies were full of vitality.

When I went to visit Sister Feng, Sister Feng was very excited to talk, and kept talking about one thing after another. Only then did the three sisters realize that so many twists and turns had happened in these days.

Sister Feng described the adventures of that night, and finally said with a smile: "I have never done such a big event with all my heart and soul. It's really a pleasure!"

There is neither the frailty of a pregnant woman, nor the sequelae of palpitations.

The sisters didn't need to be persuaded, but when they went to visit Li Wan, Suyun came out and said that the grandmother had just fallen asleep after taking the medicine. theory.

Ping'er was ordered by Xifeng to follow the three of them to help take care of the affairs of Pingmingyuan. Before the annual rent came, Sister Feng ordered to buy rice from outside to fill the vacant warehouse in the courtyard, but the rice outside Food is also in short supply, and there is no high-grade rice, so I have to transfer some Yutian rouge rice from other places for the time being.

Seeing that Ping'er was really happy, Yun'an never let down the smile on her face, because she asked her quietly why.

Ping'er and Yun'an were close since then, so he told her: "Second master and grandma have gone through hardships together, and Nong Nong and Xi'er are just messing with each other, so he knows people's sincerity. Say something that should be fought , even if the insider is a rouge tiger, it should be this rouge tiger better than those outsiders!"

"Grandma is pregnant. Because of the big events in the court, I don't want to make a big deal out of it, but the second master is really happy. This time he has seen people's hearts, and he knows that people's hearts are terrible. Therefore, in order to prevent people from doing bad things, the second master himself opened his mouth. Nong Nong and Xi'er were let out, and their parents were asked to marry by themselves. As soon as these two go, our yard will immediately become quieter and more harmonious." Shun'er is honest and honest, and Le'er will only think carefully in the back, no With these two shields in front, I am not afraid that she will turn out some troubles!

Yun An heard the words, and quickly asked: "What about you? What are they planning on you?" She remembered that it was because Sister Feng sent away the other roommates, but Sister Feng couldn't resist the words, so she forced Ping'er to be the roommate.

Ping'er covered her mouth and smiled: "Grandma allowed me and Shun'er to be released in two days in front of the second master, so she can be a straight lady!"

Yun An was overjoyed, and laughed repeatedly: "My dear sister, you have finally waited for this word!"

Ping'er smiled and wiped away tears, but the tears at this time were also sweet.

The two of them talked, and Ping'er slowly told Yun'an the whole story. It turned out that the day was chaotic, and when Jia Lian was struggling with his chest, Nong Nong and Xi'er changed into someone's tattered clothes and sneaked away. Looking for Jia Lian, the two were extremely pessimistic, saying that the misfortune of the second grandmother and uncle in the house could not be saved, and tried their best to persuade Jia Lian to run away with them-at the critical moment, Nong Nong, a gentle and melancholy weak girl, actually came up with a poisonous plan, Ask Jia Lian to let Sister Feng go out and lead the thieves away so that they can escape.Xi'er stole a lot of silver notes from Sister Feng's private house, and the second daughter sewed the gold beads and broken silver in Sister Feng's box into her belt, and she also held Sister Feng's gold jewelry box to win over the people who were with Jia Lian at that time...

Thanks to Jia Lian's conscience, he immediately knocked the two unconscious and ordered them to be gagged and tied up, so they didn't shake people's hearts. Afterwards, when Jia Lian looked through the box, he broke out in a cold sweat. These two wanted Sister Feng to die.If these jewelry that Sister Feng usually wears on her head and body fall into the hands of other men, Sister Feng will die.

"According to grandma's temperament, if you want me to die, I should fight back. But who made our master soft-hearted, grandma saw that the second master said he didn't want these two, so she complied with him." Ping'er said She curled her lips, she really hated the two cheap hooves, especially Xi'er, she even took her own things and put them in that box.

"Sister Feng is so magnanimous?" Yun An wondered, if it were herself, she wouldn't be able to let it go so lightly, why?

"That's not true." Ping'er said: "Grandma ordered all the things the two of them had accumulated over the years to be collected, and nothing was allowed to be taken out except for the clothes on their bodies. Their old lady had no errands long ago, and now each family They are all counting on the two of them, who would want to be so desperate that they will not even want their own parents that day."

"Let me tell you, Sister Feng won't just be a fake and generous kind person." Yun An laughed.

Ping'er hurriedly said in a low voice: "That's better than the previous plan! Grandma knew about Xi'er and Nongnong's activities, so she wanted to pick a good time to deal with Liwei. I once heard grandma say to herself that she would be beaten to death. Sheep's head calmed down. Unexpectedly, such a big event happened at that time. Grandma's heart became more open, and she had a child again. Now even the second master doesn't care so much. During the first two days when the second master stayed, she asked a question Nothing at all, but the second master can't hear her making him feel uncomfortable."

Just after saying this, Ping'er knew that he had made a mistake, so what did he say in front of the girl who hadn't left the cabinet, so he hurriedly accepted the lawsuits without mentioning it, and just said: "When the second master asked, grandma said that she would be stable in the future. Buy him a good guy—anyway, grandma won't say things like 'promote the girl in the house' anymore." If Xi'er hadn't been the big girl married by grandma, she wouldn't be able to know grandma's affairs so clearly.

Ping'er thought to himself: The second master is also a low-tempered person, no different from chasing boys called "sisters". , really boring!

From this day on, Du Yun'an and Daiyu lived in peace for a few days before being taken home by the old county lord.Mother Jia is getting older, unlike young people, she always needs to recuperate for a long time to recover after an incident, so she has no energy to leave them behind. Daiyu Yun'an begged for a few words, and Sister Feng assisted her, so she simply ordered Yingchun to be with her. Two sisters together.

Rongguo Mansion was fine, but there was some disturbance in Ningguo Mansion. It turned out that Youshi's stepmother and two unrelated younger sisters, Second Sister You and Sister You, had defected.This old Mrs. You was very scheming, she came here to take advantage of this disturbance, she was so terrified that she couldn't get out of bed as soon as she arrived, as if she wanted to live in Ningfu for a long time.

Youshi was very indifferent, and only set aside a corner yard facing the back street, which was convenient for going out, for their wives to live in, and followed certain rules for all supplies.Mrs. You, mother and daughter should be content, but soon someone secretly told Mrs. You: "Grandma, uncle and Brother Rong have been secretly going to my mother's yard through the back door these days, and the uncle returned the money to the two aunts. I bought new jewelry, and it was really a mess... Mr. Jiao knows that he has a bad temper, so he had to go to the master after drinking that day and say..." What are you talking about, stealing from my aunt? Auntie, there is no relationship between father and son!The servants were almost scared to death. They all knew that Jia Zhen was not a grateful person, so they all sweated for the old man and said something for him when they told the wife.

Youshi pondered for a while with a sullen face, and the next day he personally ordered Jiao Da to come in, but Jiao Da was still unwilling to enter the inner courtyard. Everyone persuaded him that he was old and had a high level of seniority, and now his wife ordered the whole family to respect him as "Jiao Da." Grandpa", so it's okay to go in.

You Shi asked him to speak in the main hall of Ningguo Mansion, this kind of decency has never been seen before, Jiao Da was very grateful.

Thanking him for this great effort, You Shiyin said: "The old man is not an outsider, there are some things we have to 'fold our arms and hide them in our sleeves'. I know you can't see the old man's descendants dirtying the face of our ancestors like this. , but the masters in the Taoist temple don’t care about it, how can we manage it, if the scandal is torn apart, the face of the old master will also be stripped off..."

Although Jiao Da was a little reckless and violent, he could still listen to the words, weeping and swearing, he dared not say any more scandalous things about Jia Zhen and Jia Rong.

You said: "Now they don't do it, and I don't dare to lose money to you who once again protected the descendants of the old man. There is a small village under our family's Xuanzhen Guan mountain, old man, I will send it to you. You go there to be honored and raised. You choose a few children you like, and you can consider them as grandchildren or take them in as apprentices. With your teaching, they will definitely be successful in the future—this can be regarded as a gift for Brother Rong or the next generation. Send some reliable people..."

Youshi took care of Jiao Da's affairs, and sent him to the village to be raised in a splendid manner, and the cost of food and clothing was only a little lower than that of Jia Jing in Xuanzhen Temple.Although people in Ning's mansion favored her, Youshi felt bored after all, so he went to Rong's mansion to relax and clear his mind today.It's just that she and Li Wan were good friends in the past, and both of them were benevolent people like dough, but now Youshi is closer to Sister Feng in his heart.No matter how fierce Sister Feng's words were, Youshi saw that she was protecting the two motherless children that day.

When I came to Sister Feng's side, I saw Jia Cong writing in this yard. You Shi asked Ping'er, only to find out that Jia Cong had been close to Sister Feng and Xichun since that day, either here, or looking for Xichun.Sister Feng couldn't coax such a half-grown boy, so she had to open the front door and enter Jia Lian's study and order someone to watch Jia Cong write in red. After writing for a quarter of an hour, he was allowed to play wild for a while.

Youshi felt something in her heart, and couldn't help but half-covered her thoughts to Sister Feng. Sister Feng had also heard about the dirty things in Dongfu, but she didn't expect Jia Zhen and his son to be so dirty, and they touched the autumn wind together. It's the bedside of You Er You San.Xifeng had expected that Jia Rong's daughter-in-law, Qin Shi, was threatened by Jia Zhen, and she felt sorry for her, so she remained close to her and never changed her attitude. Make Sister Feng look down on her.It's just that such ugly things can only be understood but not expressed in words, because he said to You Shi: "Although the fourth sister is still young, she would rather hold her mouth than cry that day. When Brother Cong and Brother Cong followed the old lady, more than It will comfort the elderly if they don't cause trouble. With such a rigid chest, even a girl may not be unreliable. Just think about it."

The two of them were chatting privately, when suddenly the messenger came back: "Grandma! My uncle was assassinated, and my uncle and wife ordered someone to send a message. Please be careful, my second master."

Sister Feng was taken aback, Youshi hurriedly pressed her shoulders to keep her from getting excited, turned around and scolded: "Stupid thing! Why did you come in and report directly, you don't know about your grandma's body! Tell me first, is uncle okay?"

The people outside hurriedly replied: "It's all right. Fortunately, Uncle Du, who was on duty with Uncle, was good at martial arts and rescued Uncle, but Uncle Du injured his left arm."

Knowing that it was Du Zhong, Sister Feng quickly asked, "How is the Du family?"

"The injury is not serious, but fortunately the bones are fine..."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Sister Feng ordered Ping'er to pack up the medicinal materials and send them to Du's house, and ordered the servant to go to Jia Lian immediately.

She hasn't checked Jia Lian's whereabouts in the past few days, and most of the people in the yard don't know about it now.After a while, Xing'er, Jia Lian's servant, ran back and peeked at You Shi who was also at Grandma's place. His embarrassing expression deepened, but he didn't dare to delay, so he knelt down and said, "Master Zhen invites Second Master to eat." Brother Rong also accompanied me at the banquet. The men are all at home, so I think nothing will happen."

Sister Feng put her hand on her lower abdomen, looked at You Shi, and said with a sneer, "Oh, Big Brother Zhen is buying wine at home? Why doesn't Big Sister Zhen know about it? It's amazing! You're still acting for your second master at this moment. It's good to keep it secret. When you meet an assassin, the second master will have something to do, and the old lady and the eldest master will only ask you for someone."

Xing'er hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "I don't dare to lie! It's true that Uncle Zhen invited Second Ye to drink at home, because the dinner was served in the yard where his wife lived, so Grandma Zhen didn't know."

Sister Feng nodded and asked in a high-pitched manner: "Brother Zhen is treating guests in his wife's courtyard? I heard that there are two young aunts there who have not left the court, but it really opened my eyes——Sister-in-law Zhen, let's The two of us have a hard life, so we can hold hands and touch each other to death, so that we can give way to the two little wives who don’t know who their surnames are brought by other people’s family!"

After speaking, she leaned on the pillow and pinched You Shi's hand severely.

Youshi burst into tears: "Call the doctor quickly!"

The Dangui Garden suddenly became flustered, Ping'er stepped forward and slapped Xing'er's ear, Shun'er also spat: "... Just make me fool around, be careful with your skin!"

After a while, Mother Jia of the Upper Court knew about it and came to see Sister Feng in person.Sister Feng just fainted and left it for Youshi to play.

Youshi cried like tears, and was so ashamed that he almost hanged himself.Yuanyang pulled Yindieer, Youshi's eldest girl, aside, and then whispered in Jiamu's ear.

This time, Mother Jia didn't say anything like a child's gluttonous monkey, because the second and third You were not servants and outsiders, but they were carrying the name of a relative's girl, and this was not a joke.

What's more, Mother Jia took Sister Feng's birth very seriously. This was her only comfort after the disaster. Therefore, Mother Jia was very merciless and scolded: "Tie those three dirty seeds here! Lai Please send a letter of 50 taels of silver from everyone to your in-laws, please go to their house, our temple is too small to accommodate the two big Buddhas in her house!"

When Jia Lian came here for the first time, he felt itchy, You Eryou San's good looks, and it was just a playful heart in the spring breeze, so he slipped back in a hurry.But Jia Zhen couldn't get away, Second Sister You pulled his trouser legs and cried, Third Sister You stood on the kang and grabbed Jia Zhen's collar while rolling up her sleeves to ask Jia's mother for a word.Mrs. You pretended to jump into the well.Seeing how busy his father was, Jia Rong slipped away like a monkey.

Jia Zhen was in a state of desperation, but the third sister You was aggressive and scheming, and took advantage of him, so Jia Zhen had to beg for mercy: "The old ancestor over there is getting angry, and Rong'er and his girl Feng have moved their tires again. The stakes are fatal." Thing! Auntie, please let me go, and you can do whatever you want when you come back!"

Third Sister You sneered, and stepped on the kang table with her white ankles exposed from her trouser legs in the cold winter: "Rong'er, Feng girl? You are talking about the wife of Second Master Lian just now. You are now getting close as a family. Just now, when you were going to marry my sister to the second master Lian as the second wife, why didn’t you think she was your son’s aunt! Pooh! Don’t blame the aunt for not reminding you, it’s the old man on the other side of the wall. No matter how angry the godmother is, you must do what you promised me, or I will not give you a way out!"

The third sister is as old as a flower, but she is like a veteran when dealing with men. She is threatening with harsh words, but she is dishonest with her legs and feet.

Jia Zhen salivated and approached: "Good ancestor! I have a way to coax the old lady, and besides, she is not very good at our house, you just live in peace - why rush to marry yourself out, don't you?" Are you not happy with your brother?"

The third sister You knew that there was no such shop after passing this village, and the ashes she held in her hand, if Jia Zhen decided to turn her face, it would be useless, so the sister burst into tears and laughed. : "Our sisters, who are precious and precious, are you spoiled for nothing? Don't ask for anyone else, as long as there is a place to return, are we going too far? Good brother-in-law, you are the emperor, can you finish your sleep?" The daughter-in-law sleeps with the aunt, and she is innocent—”

Before Jia Zhen could get angry, Third Sister You threw her head into Jia Zhen's arms and cried, "Even for a long time, my brother-in-law has to worry about us and make decisions for us!"

The meaning of these words was long, Jia Zhen's eyes lit up, and he was far from getting bored with these two delicate flowers, she smiled and said: "If I accepted you two openly..."

You San looked up at him from his arms, his eyes were not friendly, Jia Zhen looked down on her, glanced at her eyes, then glanced at the snow-white breast exposed in the red tube top below, swallowed and said: "Your sister and Brother Lian , what about you? Dear son, there are people you like, don't be afraid to just say, as long as you continue to communicate like this in the future, I will make it happen for you if you fall in love with anyone!"

Third Sister You squinted at him: "Really?"

Jia Zhen said, "It's true."

Third Sister You climbed onto his shoulders with both hands, her body was as exquisite and soft as a snake, and she uttered a sentence from her two fragrant lips: "The other day I saw a man sending a cart to your next door. There is a man who looks like a man, and since I have taken a fancy to him, I don't care whether he is poor or rich, whether his family is good or bad, and I am going to marry him!"

It turned out that Third Sister You had fallen in love with Liu Xianglian, a flirtatious man who loved to play tricks. The third sister loved him for his chivalrous spirit, and he was more masculine than all the men she had ever met.But that day, I met another person, whose horses were heroic, his actions were strong and powerful, and his sword eyebrows and star eyes were cold and spirited, which made Third Sister You blush, but when this person got off the horse and talked to the people in the car The tenderness and peace in the eyebrows and eyes for a moment hit the third sister's heart directly... The third sister You has never felt such a dazzled feeling, as long as the person who takes her into the car will blush and heartbeat, she can't help herself.

Jia Zhen continued to ask, but was urged by outsiders.

At this time, Second Sister You said for her younger sister: "I heard that it is Uncle Du, the elder brother of Miss Du who lives in the mansion next door."

Jia Zhen thought about it and said with a smile: "It's him. The seeds of a small family are worth it. Don't worry, I will take care of you."

After finishing speaking, he straightened his clothes and left.
