Edge of the Red Chamber

Zhang Feng'e pretended to be confused, and really thought that Third Sister You was a guest at home.

It is also to take into account the face of Third Sister You, since she cannot be kept, it is best to pretend that there is no such thing.

Zhang Feng'e probed her first, saying that if anyone came to Beijing, he would keep an eye out for her.

Third Sister You smiled and said yes, and thank you.Zhang Feng'e looked at her, and didn't know if she heard it, and also suspected that she didn't know what Jia Zhen meant.But it was a good thing that Third Sister You was willing to return to Beijing, so Zhang Feng'e didn't want to worry too much.

After sending Miss You back home, Zhang Feng'e felt very sorry again.Thinking of her as a girl, about the same age as myself, living off her brother-in-law, and worse than herself, she couldn't help feeling pity for her, so she discussed with Nanny He how much money to send.

Little did they know, Third Sister You didn't go back.

Halfway along the road, Third Sister You sent the girl away, saying that she was going to visit the garden, and only the maid she brought with her was left to wait on her.Zhang Feng'e was sighing, and after hearing the reply, she assumed that she understood, felt uncomfortable, and felt more and more pitiful, so she just said: "Let her alone."

But they didn't know that Third Sister You had just sent the little girl back, and then sent the little girl in front of her out.She wandered around the garden, then went to the second gate.

Wu Qingrong and his son were already waiting in front of the door. Seeing them coming out, they hurriedly stepped forward to stop the boy and mother-in-law waiting inside and outside the door.

The incident happened suddenly, and someone deliberately avoided it, and Third Sister You arrived at the outer study very smoothly.

By coincidence, Zheng Qing went out on business today, and the gatekeeper was his son, who was only 13 years old, and came in to wait on him, many of them didn't know each other.Seeing a group of them coming, she thought it was the big girl in front of Zhang Feng'e, she hurriedly stepped forward to stop her with a smile, and said, "Sister, stop, I'm waiting for guests here." Then she remembered that she didn't dress like a girl Fang Fang, since there were some delicate guests at home a few days ago, he was even more afraid to let them in.

Third Sister You didn't even stop, and walked straight in. He wanted to stop him, men and women were different, and they were masters, so she couldn't help being afraid of her hands and feet, and she was sweating all over her forehead.Wu Qingrong at the other end stretched out his hand to hold him, and the two little maidservants were also blocking him. Seeing Third Sister You approaching the door, he suddenly remembered Liu Xianglian's explanation, and opened his mouth to shout, but Wu Qingrong covered his mouth. , smiled and said: "You child, why are you so ignorant."

Liu Xianglian was talking with Mr. Liu, when she heard the sound of the curtain, she turned her head and looked in front of the door.The curtain was lifted halfway, revealing half of a moon-white pleated skirt, with pointed lotus feet faintly visible under the skirt, but it was not Zhang Feng'e.Besides, Zhang Feng'e is not such a person who does not know etiquette, even if she really wants to go to the study outside, she will definitely send someone in to inform her.Last night, the husband and wife just made an agreement, and today I will talk to Third Sister You about returning to Beijing.Liu Xianglian probably figured it out, she was supposed to be a pitiful one, but now she looks like a shameless one, and her complexion is getting worse.

When Third Sister You came in, she sized up Liu Xianglian unconsciously, and saw that he was three points more handsome and two points more stable than before, but his face was not very good.Seeing Mr. Liu sitting beside him, he understood a little bit.At that moment, I was blessed, and said to Mr. Liu: "I have something to say to the general, and please make it easier for me, sir."

Inside and outside the mansion, who knows who it is, otherwise she would not be able to reach the study.Liu Xianglian didn't want to be honest, so she waved her hand and said, "Talk to Madam if you have anything to say." After finishing speaking, she rushed out and said, "Come here."

Seeing Third Sister You enter the house, Wu Qingrong let go of Zheng An.At this moment, Zheng An was anxiously waiting outside the door, when he heard someone calling, he hurriedly agreed.

Liu Xianglian snorted coldly, said: "Call Mrs. Liu in," and said: "Send someone to deliver a letter to your grandma, saying that Miss You has lost her way and got here somehow. She needn't have worried."

Zheng An hurriedly agreed and was about to leave, when Liu Xianglian said again: "Go back and get the five boards by yourself, and if there is another time, you will be kicked out immediately."

This was also said to Third Sister You. The reason for saying she was lost was to give her an excuse for breaking into the study and to preserve her reputation; the reason for punishing Zheng An later was to warn her.

Those words were like a basin of cold water pouring into her heart. Third Sister You's heart was so cold instantly, she still couldn't believe it, and said: "Brother-in-law's letter, I don't know if the general has read it? I don't know what the general means, I'm fine." answer."

Before he finished a word, Mrs. Liu has arrived.Liu Xianglian didn't want to talk to Third Sister You, so she said, "Don't worry, girl." After that, she turned her head and told Granny Liu, saying, "When you see grandma, tell me to go back later."

Although he didn't know whether Liu Xianglian still remembered her, but hearing this, he knew that he had no intentions of her, and his heart was ashamed, he raised his right hand and went to his neck.

Everyone in the room hurried to rush up, but Mrs. Liu grabbed Third Sister You's hand, and with a crisp sound, a flat golden hairpin fell down.It must be hidden in the sleeves, but this idea has already been thought of.

Liu Xianglian was annoyed and angry, but right now was not the time to be angry.He hurriedly ordered people to guard the house, Mr. Liu also knew that the matter could not be delayed, so he hurriedly said: "I will invite Mr. Qin." He hurriedly invited the magistrate here before the news spread.They can only take the lead.

On this day, the Rongguo Mansion in the capital was not peaceful.The censor impeached Jia Lian, Guo Xiao and family filial piety double filial piety, and he stopped his wife from remarrying, and was thrown into prison on the same day.

It turned out that Wang Xifeng found out that Jia Lian secretly married Second Sister You. She was annoyed in her heart, but she suppressed her temper and came forward to take Second Sister You into the house in person, and showed it to Mother Jia when there were many people.What he said not only showed his generosity, but also implicitly pointed out Jia Lian's fault, but at the same time, it also made it impossible for Second Sister You to win Jia's mother's favor, and her way was blocked from the beginning.

On the other hand, in order to hold Jia Lian in check, Wang Er asked Second Sister You's son-in-law, Zhang Hua, to write a complaint and ask him to sue Jia Lian at the Yousi Yamen.But I didn't want to, Zhang Hua entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and things couldn't be left to her.

The next day, there was another imperial censor's letter impeaching Jia and amnesty, communicating with foreign officials, bullying the weak, and killing people.

Then Wang Xifeng became anxious, reported to Jia Mu, and then took a carriage with Mrs. Xing to Lin's house.

The old lady was discussing Daiyu's wedding ceremony with Lu Huixian and Mrs. Chen, and when she heard Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng came, she knew what was going on.The old lady was impatient to see them, so she left Mrs. Chen to talk, and wanted to say to Lu Huixian, "I'm tired, so please don't come over if you invite my uncle or wife." Then she went on to tell Mrs. Chen who to invite as the guest of honor, whether it was Lu Huixian to invite or not. Mrs. Chen went to invite.

When Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng saw Lu Huixian, their eyes turned red before they could say a word. Mrs. Xing called her niece and daughter-in-law, and tears rolled down her face.Wang Xifeng bowed with strength, asked the old lady how she was, and then said: "I didn't tell you beforehand, so I came to the door rashly, there is really nothing I can do."

Lu Huixian invited the two of them to the table, served tea herself, and said, "Sister-in-law is heretic when she says such a thing." At the same time, she ordered the servant girl to bring water to Mrs. Xing to wash her face.

Mrs. Xing said: "Where are Brother Fei and Brother Ming? Why don't you see them?" Lin Fei and Lin Ming were the ones who asked, but seeing her burning with anxiety, she knew it wasn't sincere, it was just talk.

But Mrs. Xing asked, Lu Huixian had to say something, and said: "Thank you, Madam, for thinking about them. Brother Fei has gone to school, and Brother Ming is in my sister's room." At this point, she turned her head and told Xiangluo, saying: "Go and invite the girl and brother." After finishing speaking, he said to Mrs. Xing: "The old lady is not very cheerful today. The younger siblings are serving there, and I am afraid that they will come later. Sorry, auntie Take it easy."

Mrs. Xing got up in a hurry, and said: "Then let's go and see the old lady, you see, we are here..." Wang Xifeng also stood up.

They both got up, Lu Huixian couldn't sit still, she quickly stood up, stopped Mrs. Xing, and said: "Auntie, don't get up, I just came from the old lady's side. The old lady has already predicted that the auntie When my sister-in-law and sister-in-law found out, we must go, and told me to stop my aunt." Speaking of this, he said to Wang Xifeng: "My sister-in-law also helped me persuade me about this." Then he said: "Auntie is also a person of age. It's hot again, coming and going, don't catch the heat. This is not an outsider, so Auntie must not talk outside."

Mrs. Xing didn't have that plan at first, she just heard it, and it doesn't look like she didn't make a gesture. Besides, she came here this time to ask for something.Hearing this, he chatted with Lu Huixian for a few words, then took advantage of the opportunity to sit back, turned to talk about business, and said, "Have you come back yet?"

Lu Huixian said: "Accordingly, it's time to return." After that, she turned her head and ordered Xiangluo, and said, "Go to the door and ask if the uncle has returned?"

After a while, Lin Jue and Xiangluo came in together.I just talked to Lin Hai in the study about Jia pardoning Jia Lian and his son. Now that I met Mrs. Xing, I don't know why they came.Lin Jue didn't beat around the bush, and asked first, "Are the aunt and sister-in-law here for the sake of my uncle and Lian's second brother?"

Speaking of Jia She and Jia Lian, Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng's eyes turned red again. Mrs. Xing said: "That's not true." At this point, she turned her head to look at Wang Xifeng, and then said, "I really don't have the face to say, I'd better teach your sister-in-law to say it."

At this moment, Wang Xifeng was so regretful that her intestines were green, but when Mrs. Xing said this, she still couldn't help but feel hot on her face.The matter is so big, how can there be any face, Wang Xifeng thought about it, and she didn't care about being ashamed, so she said: "It is true that the second master did not do it properly, but when the incident happened, the second master was desolate, so I thought about it." It's better to bring people into the house than to leave them outside. If you don't want to, the more you want to cover them up, something will happen, and the master will be involved. We are still hiding the truth from the old lady. She is old and her body is not as good as a year One year. In the past two days, I also asked about the second master, saying why he didn’t go to pay his respects. It doesn't help. The second master is not at home, and we women and other people don't know what to do, so we have to ask my aunt and elder brother, and I beg the elder brother to help us with an idea for the sake of the old lady. Look at this what to do."
