Entering the Red Chamber: Qingwen, rush forward!

Wang Xifeng and Heping'er sighed all the way, lamented for Jia Yuanchun, and worried about the unknown future of the Jia family.

When they arrived at Jia's mansion, General Wang Xifeng went into the room and sat down, without taking a sip of hot tea, Yu Chuaner hurried over.

Her eyes were slightly red and swollen, and the slap mark on her left face was clearly visible.

"Second Mistress, Madam told you to hurry over."

Yu Chuan'er hastily saluted and said.

Seeing the palm prints on her face and the red and swollen eyelids, Wang Xifeng quickly grabbed her and asked in a low voice, "Yu Chuan'er, who hit you? But Madam?"

When she asked this question, Yu Chuan'er's eyes turned red immediately, and tears rolled down again.

Seeing Yuchuan choked up sobbing hard to speak, Sister Feng hurriedly took out her handkerchief to wipe her face, while comforting her:

"Yu Chuan'er, since entering the palace today, our wife has suffered a lot, and even our mother has never seen her. She is really angry, and she can only take it out on you. Don't go to the palace." Take it to heart. You know how your wife treats you on weekdays..."

Before Sister Feng could finish her sentence, Yu Chuan'er cried, "Thank you, Second Grandma, no matter how much my wife beats and scolds, we should. Down?"

When Sister Feng saw that Yu Chuan'er didn't pick up her handkerchief, and heard her say that, her heart sank.

She wanted to persuade her a few more words, but Yu Chuan'er cried and saluted again, turned her head and left in a hurry.

Sister Feng frowned, seeing that Yu Chuan'er was walking away without turning her head, she sighed and said to Ping'er:

"In the past, it was said that our mansion is the best for servants. We never quarrel, and we still have monthly money. Now let alone monthly money, we don't even have food and clothing. Except for some families who have children, those who can Everyone has left, is our Jia Mansion really going to end?"

Ping'er was also frowning, and sighed in a low voice: "This is my wife's anger, and I only know how to take down people to vent my anger. If you say something that shouldn't be said, the good reputation that my wife has accumulated for so many years will be ruined in one go." ..."

When Sister Feng heard this, she snorted coldly and said, "What's the name? I'm afraid my wife can't care about anything now. She called me over this time. She doesn't know how to show me face. If you want to say, the third girl is smart." , sent Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan out early, so as not to die in the hands of others..."

She and her party said that Ping'er hastily re-dressed her in big hair clothes, persuading her:

"Grandma, let's go quickly. My wife is on fire now, and I'm afraid she won't be happy if I go late..."

When Sister Feng heard about it, she opened her mouth to complain, but in the end she sighed and led Ping'er out of the house.

When the two of them left the house, they saw that the sky was gloomy and the wind was blowing everywhere. It seemed that another heavy snow was coming.

"The weather is really cold this winter, and I don't know what God wants to do? The heavy snow is coming one after another, I really don't know how to get through it..."

Sister Feng was sighing to herself, when she saw a woman rushing to the opposite side.

The old woman saw Wang Xifeng from a distance, she ran even faster, and came to the front in a blink of an eye, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Grandma, it's not good, it's not good, something happened."

Sister Feng saw that the woman was very flustered, she couldn't help but her heart sank, and she hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? What happened to make you panic like this?"

The old woman hurriedly replied: "Dead, dead, several dead!"

"What? A dead person? Who died? How?"

Sister Feng's mind was buzzing, and stars were popping up in front of her eyes, so she asked hurriedly.

The old woman hurriedly replied: "If you go back to grandma, it's Ouxiangxie, and several maidservants died in Ouxiangxie..."

"Ouxiangxie? Isn't that where the fourth girl lives? Why did people die when they were fine? How many people died?"

Sister Feng was so anxious that sparks jumped around, and she didn't care about the cold, so she hurriedly questioned her in the yard.

"Back to grandma, four little maids died..."

"Four? How can so many people die so well? Besides, since the fourth lady left the mansion to practice, isn't the Ou Xiangxie no one to live in? How could so many people die all at once?"

Ping'er was also jumping up in a hurry, and asked hastily.

The woman hurriedly said: "Grandma doesn't know, since the fourth young lady left the mansion to practice, there are four little girls who have nowhere to go except for the painting girl who left the mansion. At that time, grandma was ill, and the second wife ordered the four girls to stay in the house as usual. Looking at the house in Ouxiangxie, cleaning the house on weekdays... who knows, who knows..."

Sister Feng was so anxious that she went to the room and scolded: "Who wants to listen to you talking about these old sesame seeds and rotten millet? Just tell me how they died?"

"Yes, grandma, it is..." The woman hurriedly replied, "Yes... yes... starved to death... or frozen to death..."

"What? Starved to death? Frozen to death? When will people starve to death in our mansion? Frozen to death?"

Sister Feng's head got bigger, and Ping'er also had an expression of disbelief.

Jia's mansion is indeed not as good as before, but it will definitely not starve to death.It was clear that they were both housekeepers.

"nonsense!"

Sister Feng was so angry that she was shaking all over, pointing at the woman and cursing: "You are talking nonsense, I am the head of the family, and it is true that the house is facing hardships, but it will not starve to death! You talk so nonsense, I will first put Kill you too!"

The woman was so frightened that she fell down on the frozen ground and kowtowed, crying and begging for mercy.

"Grandma, Miss Ping, how dare I lie? It's true. The four little maids were so hungry that they looked out of shape. I dared to look carefully when I first saw them. Their mouths were full of sawdust and cloth. ..."

Ping'er couldn't bear to hear it, and quickly asked: "Why is this so? Please speak carefully."

The old woman hurriedly replied: "Grandma, Miss Ping, you don't know that these four little maids were originally bought by the Ningguo Mansion. After the fourth lady left, they had nowhere to go, so they stayed at the Ouxiangxi to look after the house. There Close to the water, frozen like a hole in the ice..."

"Since it's so cold, why don't you go get charcoal?"

Ping'er asked hastily.

"Miss, I don't know, these four servant girls have gone to spend many times with the housekeeper, but the housekeeper didn't give them any. He just said that this year's charcoal is not enough, and even the master can't use it. How can there be extra for them..."

Ping'er heard the words but had nothing to answer.This winter is cold early, charcoal is much more expensive than gold in previous years, and the price has been rising all the way.In addition, Jia's mansion is exhausted now, and there really is no extra charcoal for the servants to use, this is the truth.

"It's true that charcoal is expensive and scarce this year. But how could they starve to death? Although Jia's mansion is poor now, there is still food to eat."

Sister Feng asked hurriedly.

"Grandma, grandma doesn't know..."

The old woman hurriedly replied.

"First of all, those four girls have food to eat. Who would have thought that since the fall of Ningguo Mansion, no food will be given to them in the kitchen, and they are said to be bought by Ningguo Mansion, and they are from Ningguo Mansion..."

Sister Feng was furious when she heard this, and cursed angrily: "What nonsense is this? Why don't you come back to me? With such a big Jia's house, is it possible that the four little girls are missing a bite of food? One bite is enough for them The four have been eating for a year! How could people starve to death? If word of this gets out, the Jia family will lose face for a century!"
