Edge of the Red Chamber

According to Lin Yan's temperament, I'm afraid he can't bear this trouble, at most three to five days.Lin Fei is also greedy for fresh food, and he should be tired of it in only three to five days.Starting from the old lady, she was not optimistic about this pair of uncles and nephews.

No one expected that after half a month, the two uncles and nephews got better and better.The older one thinks about how to teach all day long, and the younger one is looking forward to tomorrow's class today.

The old lady was happy and sad at the same time, the good news is that Lin Fei is finally willing to learn, but the bad thing is that this is not a long-term solution after all.

After Lu Huixian was happy, she was also sad.

On the contrary, the Chen family who should be most worried is indifferent and doesn't care at all.

In Fujian at the end of April, it only rained once, and the water on the ground was still wet. Four carriages slowly stopped in front of the Navy Yamen.Someone saw him at the door, and he was about to step forward to expel him.At this time, a middle-aged man jumped out of the carriage and came up to him.

Zhang Feng'e opened the post, looked at it, and listened to the woman's reply, only to hear the woman say: "There are four cars in total, and the person who handed the post is Wu Qingrong, who is by the side of Master Zhen in Ningguo Mansion."

The post belonged to Jia Zhen, and the post was delivered by the steward of Ningguo Mansion. Could it be a girl who has not left the cabinet?If he left the court, why would he still use the slaves of his brother-in-law's family?If he hadn't left the cabinet, how could he have traveled so far without his brother's escort?

Although he felt it was inappropriate, he had already arrived at the door, and he was a relative, so it was not appropriate to refuse the door, so he said, "Please come in." He got up and changed his clothes.

Just as he was welcomed out, he saw a group of maids and women surrounded by a young woman outside the gate of the courtyard.Zhang Feng'e looked over, and saw: willow eyebrows slantingly flying into her temples, her eyes fluttered, radiant, and her cherry lips were not smudged but vermilion, she couldn't help but secretly sighed: "The sign of good life."

The visitor was none other than Third Sister You.

As soon as Jia Lian talked to Jia Zhen that day, Jia Zhen immediately applauded.When I turned around, I talked to You Shi, and said that I was going to salute.First there was the matter of Second Sister You, knowing that she could not persuade her, Youshi had no intention of persuading her anymore, she didn’t even go to her old mother’s side, and she didn’t even think about asking her, Third Sister You, what she meant, and immediately Instruct the person serving in front of him to watch and tidy up.But two days later, Jia Zhen entrusted someone, and Third Sister You went south with that family, and Jia Zhen sent her a room with her family to follow and serve.

While Zhang Feng'e was looking at Third Sister You, Third Sister You was also looking at Zhang Feng'e: a black crow's black hair was tied up in a bun, and only a hairpin was attached, with two pearls the size of lotus seed rice attached to it. In the room, it seems to be playing on a swing; there is a broken branch of camellia on the sideburns, which is made of gold leaf, as thin as a cicada's wings, especially the stamens in the middle, as thin as hair; the skirt is tied with a white jade pendant of butterfly love flower.He was wearing a bright red narrow-sleeved shirt with red flowers and a long apricot skirt.It doesn't seem obvious at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it's the Songjiang triangular cloth that was just added this year, and the patterns are all woven.There is no sale outside, I am afraid it is a reward from the palace.

Third Sister You looked down at the exquisite Shu brocade on her body. Although it was rare, it could always be bought with more money.At this time, she really realized: she entered this door, and since then, she has been subordinated to others, how can she be so strong.Seeing Zhang Feng'e approaching, she was about to salute.

How precious is the family of the girl who has not left the pavilion, how could Zhang Feng'e accept her gift? Third sister You bowed her knees, she stepped forward quickly, took her hand calmly, and said: "The distinguished guest has come, and I have never greeted her from afar. What a shame."

Third Sister You was dragged by her, so it was not easy to salute.Hearing the words, he had to salute again, saying: "Come here uninvited, my sister doesn't blame me for being rude, but treats me with courtesy. If my sister says such things again, what face do I have to see my sister?"

Instead, she had a clever mouth, Zhang Feng'e already guessed three points in her heart, she didn't like it at first, seeing this, she added three points.But she hasn't finished speaking yet, she only treats her as a guest, and she can't neglect her no matter what.Smiling and making way for the house, she asked, "Is the road still peaceful?" Third Sister You said, Zhang Feng'e nodded and said, "That's good," and said, "You came from a long way, I'm afraid you haven't eaten yet. I'm about to set up a meal here, it's just some rough tea and light rice, I'll fill my stomach for the time being, and I'll hold a banquet to welcome you in the evening."

The words are easy-going, as if reunited after a long absence.

When I didn't see her, I thought that Zhang Feng'e could live under the hands of her stepmother, so that her father could send her to Lin's residence, but she fell into the eyes of Mrs. Xu again, and she had to raise her personally, and she was matched with a good family. Said, it is a dowry and a companion house, and in that battle, she is not inferior to the lady of the Hou family, she must be a person who is not inferior to Wang Xifeng.Seeing Zhang Feng'e's kindness now, Third Sister You felt a little at ease.But she also became careless, and hurriedly said: "My sister has met outsiders by saying that. I think my sister knows about the situation in our family. There is only one old woman and two sisters, and we all rely on my brother-in-law for support. Wearing gold and silver like this, Where is the life I should live. I was thinking about earning and using what I have, and eating what I have, but I feel at ease. Sister, please don’t be polite, how are you on weekdays, how are you doing today.” After finishing, he went He took out an envelope from his sleeve, handed it to Zhang Feng'e with both hands, and said: "When I come, my brother-in-law taught me to give it to the general."

At this time, when I saw the envelope, I was very sure.Third Sister You is a girl who has not left the court, and at such an age, she does not live with her old mother at home, and says that she is a good relative, but travels alone, and joins a relative who is four ways away, but sends a letter for Jia Zhen For Liu Xianglian, the meaning is self-evident.

I guessed it in my heart, but it didn't show on my face.Zhang Feng'e smiled but did not answer, motioned to the big maid at the side to take it, and confessed: "Put it in that cloisonne box, and teach my brother carefully to see it." After finishing speaking, she turned around and said to Third Sister You: "This child, too. I don't know what kind of temperament it is, I don't like other things, I prefer to tear paper, but if I hit him in the eye, I will definitely have to tear it up, and if I don't like it, I will make a lot of noise, but our master is willing to follow him." Although it was reproachful, the eyebrows and eyes It's all smiles.

Third Sister You was full of bad feelings. She was thinking about the person she was waiting for, but she didn't wait for her.Now that her son and daughter are in pairs, I don't know if she still remembers her.Her heart was sour, but she didn't dare to teach Zhang Feng'e to see it, so she said with a smile, "Brother, it's better to be naughty."

Zhang Feng'e said with a smile: "Whatever is good, they are all here to collect debts, and I don't know what I owed him in my previous life."

Talking and laughing, they entered the room, the two met again, and the maid served tea.After a while, the table was lifted to set the dishes.The two of them sat and ate.On the other side, someone has already cleaned up the house.

At the end of the day, Liu Xianglian just came back.Zhang Feng'e had just taken a bath and was brushing her hair when she heard noises outside and knew that he was back, so she rushed out to greet her and said, "Have you eaten yet?" Then she ordered the servant girl, "Hurry up and bring a bowl of bird's nest soup over here." .”

Liu Xianglian quickly waved her hands and said, "Don't be too busy, I just came back after drinking."

I didn't pay attention just now, but Zhang Feng'e also smelled the wine after hearing the news, ignored Liu Xianglian, and said to the maid: "Go ahead, teach the kitchen to cook a bowl of hangover soup."

Liu Xianglian said: "I didn't dare to eat more, I couldn't push it, so I only ate two cups." After speaking, she went to pick up the handkerchief in the maid's hand, and blamed the maid, saying: "I don't know how to persuade your grandma." As he spoke, he was going to wipe Zhang Feng'e's hair.

Seeing this, the maid in the room blushed and hurriedly retreated.Zhang Feng'e blushed, hurriedly dodged, pushed Liu Xianglian's hand away, and said angrily, "In front of all the girls in the room..."

But she didn't push it away. Seeing that there was no one in the room, Zhang Feng'e followed Liu Xianglian with half a push.

The husband and wife sat and talked, and when it was noon, Zhang Feng'e remembered Third Sister You, turned around and looked at Liu Xianglian with a smile: "I forgot, I'm afraid you don't know, we have a distinguished guest at home today."

Liu Xianglian didn't know, but seeing her smile had something to do with it, guessing that she wasn't some distinguished guest, she said, "What's important, it doesn't matter if you know or not. Go to bed earlier, I still have some business to do today."

Zhang Feng'e saw that she still had business to do, so she didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly got up to find the clothes herself, and said, "Take a bath first, and you can eat a bowl of soup later."

Liu Xianglian nodded, turned around and went to the clean room.

Zhang Feng'e hurriedly sent the clothes in, and when she came out, she found the letter, and then called the servant girl to come in for supper.

Liu Xianglian read the words on the envelope first, and became more and more puzzled. After opening the letter and reading it, she went to Zhang Feng'e and asked, "He's already here?"

Zhang Feng'e nodded with a smile, but Liu Xianglian only felt that the sun was in pain.

Growing up so big, Lin Hai is the one he admires the most, and he always takes Lin Hai as the standard in everything he does.Marrying a wife and taking concubines is also common.In Fujian, there are not many people who give away maids and aunts, especially in the past two years. There are endless tricks, but there are really no ones like Jia Zhen.

It's okay if you meet someone who likes color, but if you meet someone you don't like, it's not friendship, it's clearly enmity.

Now that people have arrived and are blocked outside, I am afraid that it will spread throughout the city in just one day, and the impeachment report will be out of Fujian in the evening.

Liu Xianglian thought for a while, and then said: "When relatives come to see us, they think highly of us. It's not convenient for me to see you, so you can take care of me. Tell her, don't rush to leave. It's so easy to come back and play for a few more days. Also see the local customs here.”

This statement has two meanings.

The first level, treating each other as relatives, is rejecting Third Sister You.

On the second level, every sentence says you are not in a hurry, and every sentence stays together, but every sentence is urging.

The two have been married for seven or eight years, and Zhang Feng'e also knows Liu Xianglian's personality, so she is not worried, but she dare not be completely at ease.Listening to the words, this is the only way to put your heart back into your stomach.I also thought about it for a while, and then said: "If we send people back like this, I'm afraid that Uncle Zhen will not be able to face it. Why don't you write a letter to Uncle and ask Brother Yu to reconcile it, so as not to hurt the relationship between relatives."

No matter from the Liu family or from the Zhang family, Jia's family is not considered relatives, but Zhang Feng'e has received the kindness of Lin's family, and since Lin Daiyu called Jia's mother an old lady, she is also considered to be a little relative.

Although the Ningguo Mansion has no real power in the court, after so many years, there are many old relatives and new relatives. They are far away in Fujian, and they have no foundation. Anyone in Beijing can read a book. They are far away. If the emperor trusts Well, maybe it's okay for him to go back to Beijing to defend himself, otherwise, I'm afraid he will lose his future for nothing and his reputation will be tarnished.

If you tell Lin Hai about the matter first, he will take care of it and know what's going on first.

Now that it's settled, Zhang Feng'e naturally doesn't want to stay with Third Sister You for a long time.There are often wives from various families visiting her here, if people meet and spread the word, it is impossible not to stay.

Within three days, Liu Xianglian found the boat.
