Eldest sister is not easy to do

"Mr. Feng, I don't understand your man's officialdom. But I have heard about two things in the boudoir. After thinking about it, it doesn't hurt to tell Mr. Feng about it: the youngest daughter of the Qin family Ke'er got married at the end of last year, and died not long ago in Tianxiang Building, Ningguo Mansion. In less than half a year, a good-looking person disappeared. The Jia family said that he died of illness. But I think this is very strange. I There is nothing wrong with seeing Sister Qin once. This time my sister went to Jia’s house, and I heard that she and her husband were at odds, but her father-in-law loved her very much. So after my sister left, Master Zhen asked for Prince Yizhong’s coffin Come to restrain my sister. So I guess, does Master Zhen know some internal reasons for this matter?"

Feng Ziying nodded and pondered: "Qin Ye mentioned it to me. But after hearing what you said, I'm afraid Jia Zhen... really should know something. After all, in the position of the patriarch, he can see far."

"There is one more thing to be wary of: I heard that Shi Xiangyun, the only daughter of the Jinling historian, played well with Baoyu since she was a child, and even slept in the same bed. The few girls in Jia's mansion today are not as innocent and lively as her. I heard that Baoyu had the best time with her, and even Sister Baochai was second. If this golden and jade marriage can't be done, then Sister Baochai is waiting to be selected into the palace. I'm afraid she is as beautiful and well-bred as her. It might be possible to get out, when the time comes..."

"Wild fires are endless, and spring breeze blows to regenerate." Feng Ziying said with a clear smile, "I understand what you mean."

"I've said so much, what secret do you have to tell me?" Shu Yu felt that he was at a disadvantage and wanted to get it back: "You are not allowed to talk about official affairs, only your own affairs."

"My business... that's all, let me tell you one thing." Feng Ziying felt that she had gained a lot today, not to mention that Shu Yu was able to help her, which was unexpected.

"The year when Jia Yuanchun was selected as a female historian was the year when my father and I had a estrangement. Since you know that I am a loyal and obedient person to the prince, you should understand the prince's worries: Yuanchun was very favored by the emperor at that time, and righteousness The characters of Prince Zhong also took advantage of this to gain power and suppressed our prince. In order to win in a dangerous situation, the prince thought of asking me to go undercover for Prince Yizhong to find a clue. First of all, I was young, and the Feng family and Zhongshun There is an unspeakably close relationship with the prince's family. Secondly, I was influenced by my father since I was a child, and I know a set of communication methods in the officialdom... After I took the task, I left my father like a young eagle with its wings broken. We can't even meet."

Shu Yu nodded.Can't wait to ask: "And then?"

"Then, my father announced that he would sever ties with me. He even cut off my supply. During that time, I had no official position and no residence. I could only live on pawns, and even fell to the point of writing and painting for others. Everyone Seeing that I had no means to make a living, and lived a miserable life, I believed that I had severed ties with the Feng family. Later, Jia Zheng took a fancy to me and recommended me to Prince Yizhong. With Jia Zheng's guarantee, I managed to sneak into Prince Yizhong." Feng Ziying laughed at herself again: "My aunt is the old concubine of the late emperor. Last year, when I went to see her, I explained to her the truth about the discord between father and son. After that, my aunt put her arms around her. I cried all night, and most of you women think it's a misfortune."

Shu Yu nodded.After thinking about it, forget it.Play the last card.Anyway, even if I can't get this man, I don't want him to waste any more.whatever! The original "Dream of Red Mansions" describes Daiyu from a child of seven or eight years old to 16 years old.It is equivalent to saying that Prince Yizhong will have to wait for several years to lose power.She was annoyed, so she just let the broken ship sink quickly: "There is one more thing, which is also an opportunity. Your business may be beneficial."

"what's up?"

"Wei Ruolan is General Feng's son living among the people." An affirmative sentence without any doubt.

Feng Ziying's face suddenly changed: "What?! General Feng? But General Huben?! His son is actually..." His eyes darkened, but he asked, "How did you know?"

"I sent several servant girls to inquire about this matter, so I'm sure." She went around impatiently: "General Feng has made great military achievements, and he is the general who guards Datong, one of the four frontier gates of our dynasty. I heard that the squadron returned to the court recently. , just to deal with the matter of His Majesty’s poor health. I’m afraid that some royal children with bad intentions will take the opportunity to raise troops. If you can help him find his long-lost son, the infinite beauty of the Forbidden City should also belong to Prince Zhongshun.”

After finishing speaking, Yingying bowed: No more spoilers.She understands that if she talks too much, it may not be self-defeating: "In short, if Mr. Feng has the courage, you can go to meet the old general for a while. You can't catch a tiger if you don't enter the tiger's den. Besides, the price of this matter is very high. Little. It's getting late today, so I'll take my leave first..."

Turning around to leave, Feng Ziying did not keep her.But Shu Yu didn't care at all, because what had to be done had already been done.What will happen in the future, personal fate, don't have to force it.Looking up to see the sunset sinking a little bit, it's like yesterday's hope is a little bit disillusioned.But what kind of hope will there be tomorrow, maybe.

A month later.

After the [-]th birthday of the little brother, the Lin family, which had been silent for a long time, finally got a little lively.And Mrs. Lin officially announced: It is very inappropriate for Lin Ruhan to be unemployed at home.Let Sanfang go back to his hometown in Gusu.Lin Ruhan knew about Aunt Qiu's affairs, which made her mother very dissatisfied with her.And his wife, Shen Qian, has become alienated and has become a stranger, so she also intends to return to Gusu.While making old acquaintances and friends, waiting for the old emperor to pass away, the new emperor will reuse him again.While pampering Deng'er, she abandoned Aunt Qiu who had lost her femininity.As for Shen Qian, the wife of the main house, seeing each other is really like not seeing each other.

If there is any good for Shen Qian, it is to let Shu Yu understand: a marriage without feelings is really fucking unreliable.I really admire women in the feudal society for thousands of years, how can you endure such an emotionless marriage.Thinking of Wei Ruolan and Feng Ziying again, she sighed: Let fate be yours!Bored to the extreme, he would think about Shen Wei again: I heard that his marriage with Liu Pingting has been finalized.So Shen Qian returned to Guining to go home to celebrate.Said that it was leaving tomorrow, Shu Yu kept an eye out and asked Deng Er to follow him all the way.When I was free, I would drink and write poems with Daiyu in the back garden.Daiyu is now nine years old.Seeing that her tenth birthday is approaching, the elder sister hopes that her younger sister will not grow up.

After growing up, there will be no fairy tales in a woman's world.

A day later, in Wutong Pavilion.Jin'er extinguished the candle.Today is Ximei's official farewell.Shu Yu is cold-faced and cold-hearted.But when Ximei knelt down and yelled, "Miss, I can't be with you anymore!" She knew she was wrong and held back her tears.Shu Yu helped Ximei to the table, Rui Ping and Rui Zhu in front of the old lady also came.Looking at today's small dinner, it was Shu Yu who organized it for Ximei with originality.It is sad, but also envious.

If one of the maidservants of the whole family is the most effective, it should be the Ruiping in the old lady's room.But Rui Ping understands: Ximei is the most likable one, she handles things safely and is loyal.No wonder Miss Today treated her so differently, so she made a toast first, and said with a smile: "This is considered, we drank my sister's wedding wine in advance."

Rui Zhu said: "I only hope that my sister is married, don't forget to come back and visit us."

Luo Lan said: "Eldest sister, don't go away, please. I can't take care of the young lady, can we serve the young lady together?! We will get married together in the future, and the young lady will arrange for us!"

Xueyan said: "Sister is the most outstanding among us, and she will definitely be the best wife in the future."

Jin'er was at a loss for words, and after thinking for a while, she said, "I wish my sister's parents good health."

Shu Yu remembered that Jin'er's parents were working in Jia's mansion now, and they only came back once a year to visit their daughter.Among the maids in the room, she and Luo Lan were the loneliest, and they were afraid that these maids would find out that they were planning to stay alone.He cheered up and said: "Today's food is all good, if you don't eat it, I will not be polite!"

Finished the meal.Shu Yu continued: "Ximei must be proficient in discussing other things. If others want to coax her or lie to her, it is absolutely impossible. Only oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, firewood, rice , tea. These tastes are the foundation for a woman to be the master of the house. Ximei was raised in the mansion since she was a child, and she didn't know the price of things outside. After she went outside, she no longer asked for a brand when receiving things, but bought them on her own. If she bought a good one, this The food and clothing of a family can also be very expensive.”

With tears in her eyes, Ximei said: "Miss, I'm afraid that after I leave, you won't be able to take care of the internal and external affairs of this place alone. What's more, there are still a few people from the third room who haven't moved out yet... "

"Silly boy."

Shu Yu shook his head.

After everyone dispersed, Shu Yu took out a few more land deeds from the bottom of the box, handed them to Ximei and said, "I have saved these over the years. Now the fields are deserted and no one takes care of them. If you have the heart, you can Take good care of the land above this. When I get married, this will be another generous dowry." I stuffed a separate land deed and said in a low voice, "This is your dowry. Find a good man. Get married. You must live a good life in the future."

"Miss." Ximei knelt down with sobs: "Thank you for thinking so much about me! But, but I really don't want to get married. I would rather be like Sister Rui Ping, who is determined not to marry. I will live with the old lady for the rest of my life. Chanting Buddha."

"Nonsense, how can you imitate Sister Ping!" Thinking of the eldest maid in this family, Shu Yu felt bad for a while: As the number one maid in the family, Rui Ping's sincerity to the old lady is reflected in her not getting married on this point.It is said that he sees through the world of mortals, and would rather be like the old lady, be a layman at home, willing to serve the old lady for the rest of her life.Guard the tomb for the old lady for the rest of her life.But she is an extremely beautiful person, and no one believes that she can hold on.

But Ruiping is 22 years old this year.Those who didn't believe before believed it: it's actually very difficult for such an old maid to get married.But ever since Rui Ping rescued Shuyu from the hands of the third master, Shuyu began to pester Rui Ping.Even as siblings, fortunately, all the servants in the room respect Rui Ping and are loyal to the gods, but they don't gossip about her.What's more, Shuyu was naughty since she was a child, and no one took their affairs to heart.

No matter what, Shu Yu didn't want Ximei to become the second older leftover woman.
