The maid of the red house

After returning from Sister Feng's place, Daiyu sat under the window and kept sighing.

Xueyan sat by the side and ate the fruit, knowing his heart, and said: "Although it is said that the prodigal son will not change his money when he returns, how has the world ever treated us women with justice? Which one is not a man who has three wives and four concubines? In the end? Man, even if they kill people and set fire to them, they will all praise them as long as they change their ways, and if a woman's family has a bad reputation, she will only die."

This is the case with Third Sister You.Liu Xianglian used to be a vagabond who slept in flowers, stayed in willows, gambled and drank wine. He joined the army and came back tomorrow after making contributions. Everyone praised him. There are fruits, Third Sister You has tasted the bitter fruit brewed earlier.

Therefore, Xueyan became more and more cautious in her actions. This was an era that showed no tolerance for women.

Daiyu was startled, nodded and said: "You are very right, just like in the story you told me back then, the cousin and the sister fell in love, the girl is obviously innocent, but she can only die, but her cousin And happily marry a wife and have children.”

Xueyan heard her mention this matter, and said: "That's why we didn't let girls live in the Grand View Garden before. This is the reason. Although the garden is good, it is also a paradise, but there is a second master Bao who lives in the garden. love, but there is a lot of nonsense, and outsiders will inevitably show a little bit in their mouth."

Daiyu hesitated for a moment, and said: "Sister Bao is fine, the two families have long wanted to get married, and everyone has tacitly agreed with each other, and now Yun girl lives there, but what should I do? Kuang Yun girl has already engaged, if Wei If everyone knows, won’t it cause trouble?”

Xueyan said: "The historian is working abroad, Miss Shi has nowhere to go, and she is friendly with Miss Bao, and loves to play, how can she be willing to move out?"

Daiyu was very worried about this, she knew that the outside world was harsh on her daughter's family, so she couldn't pretend that she didn't hear it, but she also understood what Xueyan said was very true, Xiangyun was very playful, and regarded Baochai as her own sister He was treated the same, and he was absolutely unwilling to move out. He couldn't help sighing quietly, and said, "I don't know how long it will take for this world to change."

Xueyan thought of the equality between men and women thousands of years later, shook her head and said: "It is difficult to break or stand. Maybe after thousands of years, women will be able to be butchers for officials like men, do business and work, support themselves, and have high spirits." Go up."

Daiyu laughed and said, "How do you know that such a thing will happen after thousands of years?"

Of course, Xueyan would not say that she came from thousands of years later. Modern life and cognition have been deeply rooted in her bones. She is in the contemporary age. .But even if there are some changes, after all, many rules are still set by the men, so the women's family is still weak, but stronger than now."

Men and women are equal, and there are still many men who are officials. If a woman becomes an official, it will attract all kinds of criticism.It’s also like the new marriage law, which protects the interests of illegitimate children, but ignores the interests of wives and legitimate children. No one teaches them how to protect themselves when facing illegitimate children, and because the law protects illegitimate children in this way, mistresses and mistresses are even more rampant Mowgli.

Daiyu sighed lightly, and said, "It's better than now, that's enough."

Knowing that she thought of Third Sister You again, Xueyan said: "Young lady said that in front of Second Grandma Lian today, but she didn't see the expression on Second Grandma Lian's face. She thought of herself, so she kept silent."

Daiyu sighed again, like the autumn rain outside the window, cold and sad, and said: "Women's families always make things difficult for women in this world, but they don't know that men are the chief culprits! If the second elder brother Lian can hold on, it is because of the strength of the second sister You." Such beauty and all kinds of tenderness are useless, so why are they husband and wife like this."

Xueyan smiled unconsciously, and said: "If everyone has the insight of a girl, countless nasty incidents will not happen. Second Master Lian's temperament, there is Second Sister You today, and someone else tomorrow, just for a while. Happy, it will change in three to five months."

She never thought that Jia Lian loved You Er. For Jia Lian, skin promiscuity is the most important thing, but among these women, Second Sister You is beautiful, gentle, and of a slightly higher status, which suits his temper and his attitude towards his wife. The requirements are different from those of Bao Er's family with many girls. When Qiu Tong appeared, Second Sister You was forgotten. When Jia Lian was humiliated and angry, did Jia Lian ever comfort her with a word?That night he still lived in Qiutong's room, not because Qiutong was a gift from Jia Amnesty, but because Sister Feng was sick at that time, and You Er was also sick, so she couldn't have sex with her.The death of Third Sister You was a result of despair, and Second Sister You may have seen through Jia Lian's nature.

Daiyu said: "Speaking of which, I can't blame Lian's second sister-in-law for holding on to property and authority. How can such Lian's second elder brother be relied on by others? Fortunately, they are still husband and wife. They were going to kill Lian's second sister-in-law in the old year. They are actually enemies. "

Xueyan took the opportunity to laugh and said: "So the girl is blessed, our son-in-law is definitely not someone like Lian Erye."

When Zhou Hong was mentioned, Daiyu blushed unconsciously, her face was like a peach blossom, and her eyes were full of affection.

At this time, Baoyu rushed over suddenly, and Daiyu hurried to the outside room to treat each other, but she saw that others were crying bitterly before sitting down, she was startled for a while, and then she understood, Xueyan said: "Second Master, what are you doing here? crying like this?"

Baoyu cried for a long time, finally put away her tears, and said, sobbing, "Sister You is gone. Such a beautiful person is really a rare and fierce person in ancient and modern times. He just died when he said he died."

Xueyan understood. She didn't know whether to laugh or sigh. She just heard Baoyu say, "Liu Xianglian asked me about her. He knew well that I couldn't hide it, so he said something. But when he knew it, he changed his previous statement." She was willing to go to ask for the engagement thing. Third Sister You has a strong temper. When she heard that he was going to divorce, she knew that she thought she was a shameless person. When she returned the Yuanyang sword, she wiped her neck and died. It was my fault, if it wasn’t for her Why did I, Liu Xianglian, end the engagement? How could Third Sister You die?"

Daiyu heard that his tone was full of self-blame, and said, "What did you say to Liu Erye?"

Baoyu used to think that Daiyu was a confidant, although now there is no love between men and women, but there is brotherhood, Daiyu is the only one in the whole family who understands him, unlike others who think he is crazy, so he will say what he said that day Ten said.

When Daiyu heard Liu Xianglian say that the Ningguo mansion was clean except for the two stone lions at the entrance, not even the cats and dogs inside, she couldn't help sighing, "Second brother, don't blame yourself too much, this matter has nothing to do with you, Even if you don't say it, wouldn't Erye Liu ask others? Then there will be countless ugly words coming out!"

Baoyu shed tears again and said, "But it's because of my unclear speech. If I had told him that Miss You had changed her ways, it wouldn't be the case."

Daiyu sighed and remained silent.

Xueyan suddenly said: "Second Master Bao just said that Second Master Lian married the second wife outside?"

Baoyu was startled when he heard the words, and nodded. The outsiders knew all this, and they couldn't hide it from him. What's more, when Liu Xianglian came to ask him, she had already said that Jia Lian had told him about Third Sister You, so she naturally knew it.

But Xueyan said: "Second Mistress Lian has done her best to treat Second Master Lian and has never treated Second Master badly. Now that something like this happened, why didn't Second Master tell Second Mistress Lian?"

Baoyu said in a low voice: "Sister Feng's temperament, don't you know about Xueyan? If she knows, Second Sister You can only die. I have already killed Third Sister You because of one sentence, so can I still kill Second Sister You?" Why do you want to do this crime again? Besides, the second elder brother Lian and the second sister You are also in love with each other, and a beautiful and gentle person like the second sister You can be relied on for life, which is a good thing."

Daiyu and Xueyan looked at each other in astonishment, Daiyu knew that his nature was bad, but Xueyan was very angry and funny, I don't know whether it was Xiaofeng's sorrow or Qi Baoyu's innocence, he always wanted everyone to be good, but he didn't know his wife and concubine The fierceness of the dispute?Not to mention the matter of human life in Sister Feng's hands, but from this matter alone, Sister Feng is indeed innocent, and she will die if she doesn't fight.

Xueyan took a look at Baoyu, saw that he was wearing red arrow sleeves, and asked, "There is no such thing as the best of both worlds. Since Second Master Bao knows that Second Mistress Lian will not spare her when she knows Second Sister You, then Second Master Bao Have you ever thought about it, now is the time of national filial piety and family filial piety, and the second master Lian violated his parents and stopped his wife from remarrying. Will Second Sister Fuyou be the main wife, or Second Mistress Lian?"

When Baoyu heard this, he was speechless and at a loss, which he had never thought about.

Daiyu hurriedly stopped Xueyan, and sighed: "It's hard to say these things. You can't be the master, and you don't want to tell Lian's second sister-in-law, so tell your grandmother. My grandmother has a lot of experience and knowledge, and there is always a way."

When Baoyu heard this, he felt reasonable, so he got up and went to Jiamu's room.

Xueyan looked at Daiyu in surprise, and Daiyu sighed deeply, and said, "Baoyu's worries are not groundless. Since the second sister-in-law of Lian knows about the second sister You, she will inevitably have some life lawsuits. It's better to let my grandmother know why. Wouldn't it be better for her to be handled by the elderly than Lian's second sister-in-law? Although the second sister You acted inappropriately, she is not guilty of death."

Xueyan thought for a while, then nodded and said: "What the girl said is very true, we don't want to interfere in these matters, let's see the old lady."

In her heart, she thought that Daiyu had taken it for granted, and she was afraid that things would not go as she imagined.The existence of Second Sister You is a stain on Jia Lian, especially when she is married at this time. Although Mother Jia is merciful, how can she tolerate this matter?What's more, with Wang Ziteng's momentum, Jia Lian can't divorce Sister Feng anyway, and Jia's mother must also favor Sister Feng, otherwise Wang Ziteng will know and must make trouble.

After Jiamu learned about the second sister You from Baoyu's mouth, she trembled with anger, pointed at the mandarin duck and said, "Do you all know? Keep it from me. Usually Lian'er steals chickens and dogs, it's nothing, but now When is it? National filial piety, family filial piety! Our mother is struggling in the palace, and the family is causing her all these troubles!"

Yuanyang lowered her head and did not dare to make a sound, but Baoyu defended her and said: "I only know it from the outside, but I don't know from the inside. The old lady misunderstood Sister Yuanyang. Sister Yuanyang doesn't move around very much now. How can I know this?"

Sure enough, Jia Mu said with a smile, "I'm so old-fashioned. I didn't expect it to be hidden from outside."

Baoyu sighed, "What should we do about this matter? If Sister Feng finds out, it will definitely turn upside down."

Jia Mu loved Sister Feng so much, so she said to Baoyu, "I'm in charge of everything. Don't tell anyone else."

Baoyu promised not to mention it.

Jia Mu thought deeply, thinking about how to calm things down.

Sister Feng is so shrewd, and now she handles things meticulously. I have heard from the maids in Jiamu's room that there are many maids and women in Jiamu's room. It was quietly spread to everyone in it, including the second sister You who was engaged to regret the marriage, and she had messed with Jia Zhen to see that she was not the master of life, so Fang hooked up with Jia Lian Yunyun.

Although the servants in the Rongguo Mansion have two respectable eyes and a rich heart, they know a little more shame than the people in the Ningguo Mansion. What's more, for Lai Shangrong, everyone is stricter in management. A shameless move by the rich.

After hearing this, Daiyu sighed with Xueyan: "As you said, it really can't be kind."

She originally thought that Mother Jia's kindness and kindness would be better than Sister Feng's killing people, but she would have come to this point.

Xueyan said: "The country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. What kind of heart is Lian's second grandmother, how can she be willing to settle down and make peace with others."

Mrs. Wang soon found out about the news, and her face was full of anger. Although she had been eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha for a long time, Sister Feng is her niece, and Wang Ziteng is Sister Feng's father. Their royal family has a higher position and authority than the Rongguo Mansion. When will people bully them like this? Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang was secretly annoyed that Sister Feng was not up to date, so she came to Jia Mu, who knew that the news had spread.

Sighing, Mother Jia had no choice but to call Sister Feng over to comfort her in every possible way.

Sister Feng cried bitterly in Jia's mother's arms: "the old ancestor wants to make the decision for me, the second master Lian, and the second master Lian cursed me to death in front of outsiders!"

Jia Mu was shocked and asked, "Where did you start?"

Sister Feng cried with mixed tears and sobbed, "Ancestor, I already knew about Second Master Lian's affairs. I just thought about Second Master's reputation, so I didn't dare to say anything, and I was afraid of disturbing my ancestor's cleanliness. I was full of bitterness." Nowhere to sue."

Jia Mu was about to ask, but it happened that Baoyu came back from the outside and said in surprise, "Sister Feng already knows?"

Sister Feng was taken aback. Could it be that Baoyu also knew but didn't tell herself?Thinking of this, Sister Feng couldn't help but secretly hate.

Mother Jia was also puzzled when she heard this. Sister Feng didn't do anything when she knew about it. She really didn't behave like her. But then she thought that Sister Feng had invited Nanny Rong to teach her in the past two months. Asked: "You said Lian'er cursed you to death? But it's true? Where did you hear that?"

Sister Feng cried: "The second master not only cursed me to die, but also moved all his ladders to Grandma You for storage, and told Grandma You over there that when I die, I will take her in as the main room. Now I have already been hooked. Don't ask people to call Nayou Grandma Second Grandma, but Grandma, and I also call her Grandma. When I went to Ping'an Prefecture, I coaxed me to live there before leaving. When I came back, I also Came back after living here, and thought I was outside, Grandma You is the original wife!"

Seeing Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng became more courageous and felt a little comforted in her heart. No matter what, she would not let her niece be bullied by others. Sister Feng dared to sue and make trouble because of her father's power. Dare to divorce myself.Even if Jia Lian was dissatisfied with him, he had to report to his parents first, and then ask the family to make the decision, they dare not offend the Wang family!

Jia Mu said angrily: "What a shameless bastard, what are you going to do?"

Mrs. Wang was very angry when she heard this.

Sister Feng continued to cry until her eyes were red and swollen, and she said: "Old ancestor, if someone else pays it back, but when is it now? If outsiders find out, what can we say about our house? What about your mother? The four felonies are enough for the yamen! I was born in front, what if I have a son in the future? I dare not tell my parents, since my ancestors know, I beg my ancestors to make decisions for me."

When mentioning Wang Ziteng, Jia's mother was stupefied, she put her arms around her and said, "Don't cry, I'm here."

Sister Feng gradually stopped her tears, took a look at Baoyu, and said, "It's fine if the innocent daughter's family comes in, but who is Grandma You? The old ancestors just asked Brother Bao. Brother Bao has a clear look, so he must not dare to hide it. .”

Jia's mother looked at Baoyu, and Baoyu told the truth. She was shocked by Sister Feng's pitiful appearance.He also didn't expect that Jia Lian and Second Sister You would look forward to Sister Feng's death, which was so terrifying.

Before she could finish listening, Jiamu's face became even more angry, and she became more and more displeased with the second sister You in her heart, and said to Baoyu, "it's so chaotic over there, you are not allowed to go and mess with them again, if you let me know, wait Your master came back and told him that he broke your leg!" When she didn't know, she just paid it off, but now she knows, her precious jade is the most sincere, how can it stand up to the instigation?

Mrs. Wang also nodded in agreement, secretly regretting that she had let Baoyu know the Youshi sisters in the past.

Baoyu was so frightened that he came back to his senses, and quickly agreed.

Jia Mu ordered Baoyu to be sent back, and then said: "Tell Xiren Qingwen to watch Baoyu and not allow him to go to the east."

When Baoyu left, Jia's mother bowed her head and said to Sister Feng, "good boy, is there anyone who doesn't steal fish in a child's house? It's just that Lian'er is too much. Don't worry, I will be the master for you, and I will never call Lian I bullied you, but you have to change your temper."

Speaking of this, Jiamu sighed, full of exhaustion.

Sister Feng cried, "Old Ancestor, I already knew I was wrong, and I even asked Nanny Rong to teach me. If the second master is willing to change his mind and not take charge of the outside world, I will put ten or eight people in front of him with all my might and I will be willing." Putting it in front of my eyes, I will rub it away one day, unlike now, Second Sister You is outside and I am inside, so I can't take care of her, but I can't take Second Sister You in. If Second Sister You dies, Jia Lian will definitely Only hate myself.

Mother Jia was very pleased when she heard this, and said, "Nurse Rong is excellent, you have such a blessing, study hard."

Mrs. Wang said: "What should the old lady do now? Although girl Feng is not good, she is justified. If Lian'er has been accused of such crimes, if the outside world finds out, won't it ruin your mother's reputation?"

Jia Mu waved her hand and said, "I'm the one to make the decision. Don't worry."

She went to call Jia Lian with the servants outside. When she heard that she was working in the Ningguo Mansion, Jia's mother snorted and said, "Tell the truth!"

The boy who went to pass on the message could only say: "Over there, Grandma Zhen's sister died and is in mourning. Second Master Lian is helping to take care of it!"

Mother Jia smiled coldly and asked, "Is it the sister of Grandma Zhen over there, or the sister of Second Grandma Lian outside?"

Hearing what Jia Mu said, the young servant knelt on the ground in fright, bowed his head and dared not speak.

The more Jia's mother understood Jia Lian's actions, and seeing Sister Feng standing aside very pitifully, she said, "Tell the truth, I'll ask someone to buy you fruit with money. If you tell a lie, see if I won't ask you to give a discount to Grandpa Lai." Your leg, tore your mouth!"

The little servant hurriedly said: "Go back to the old lady, the slave didn't dare to lie, but he was ordered outside not to tell a lie."

Jia Mu said: "Could it be that their words carry more weight than mine?"

The little servant didn't even dare to say it, and said truthfully: "Second Master Lian bought a house outside, and married a new second mistress. They all said that they were beautiful in appearance and pleasant in speech, better than the old second mistress. The former son's new second mistress The younger sister promised to be divorced, and in shame and indignation, she wiped her neck with a sword and died, and the whole family was crying like something, and the second master Lian is taking care of it!"

Jia Mu shouted: "What new second grandma and old second grandma? This is your second grandma!"

The boy quickly slapped his mouth, not daring to say anything.

Jia Mu was very angry and said, "Go and call your second master Lian, together with the second sister You, and then call your elders and wives, and tell you, Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Zhen." Grandma, just say I have something to say."

The little servant was so frightened that he couldn't bear the shit, and after agreeing, he hurried to spread the word.

The second sister Jia Lianyou was frightened when she heard Jia Mu's words, but Jia Mu ordered her to come here slowly.But when Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing knew the ins and outs, they secretly relieved their anger. The husband and wife hated Sister Feng for a long time, and they agreed with Jia Lian's behavior in their hearts.Only Jia Zhen and You's husband and wife were stunned when they heard the news, so they had to come here.

When Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen arrived, they sat in Jia's mother's room and did not dare to speak. After waiting for a while, Jia Lian and the second sister You were still there. After a long time, they arrived late.

Jia Mu laughed back angrily, and said, "It's so decent, tell me to wait with this old bone."

Jia Lian was so frightened that he knelt on the ground in a hurry, didn't even use the cushions, and didn't even dare to say so. Second Sister You also knelt beside her, with a look of panic on her face.

Jia's mother looked up and saw that the second sister You had a small face and a slender waist, and she was born with a pair of peach blossom eyes, which almost dripped water, and her skin was very tender. Naturally amorous and romantic, very enchanting.

Mrs. Wang hated these people the most in her life, her face sank like water.

When Sister Feng saw Second Sister You like this, she secretly hated her. It really was Jia Lian's favorite appearance.She knows better than others that Second Sister You usually wears bright red clothes that can only be worn in the main room. Now that Third Sister You is wearing such plain clothes when she dies, she has let herself down. She is also dressed in plain color today. Big red comes over, that's how beautiful it is!

Jia She secretly sighed that Jia Lian was blessed to have such a beauty, which was ten times or a hundred times more neat than the one in his own room.

After seeing it, Jia's mother said plainly, "This is the second grandma of Xinlian in our family? Are there three matchmakers and six hires? Can I worship my parents? There is only a Feng girl serving me in front of me, and I don't see anything special. grandmother!"

Jia Mu's voice was so severe that Second Sister You was so timid that she didn't dare to speak. She was secretly sad that she only worshiped the world with Jia Lian, and did not worship her parents in a serious way. Now Jia Mu is allowed to speak like this.

Seeing this, Jia Lian felt more pity in her heart, and hurriedly said: "It has nothing to do with her. It was because I fell in love with her that I begged Brother Zhen to be a matchmaker. The grandson is also doing it for his heirs, and it's not for nothing."

Jia Mu sneered and said, "For the sake of your heirs? Could it be that Feng girl can't bear children for you?"

Jia Lian retorted: "She has already died of illness, how can there be?"

Jia Mu said angrily: "You can't have Feng girl, you treat Ping'er as a dead person? So you curse her to die because Feng girl is so sick?"

Jia Lian was startled, not knowing how Jia's mother knew about the private conversation between himself and Second Sister You, but then he remembered that he had said these words when he asked Jia Rong to propose marriage. I think the ancestors got it wrong."

Jia Mu said: "I'm not old enough! You just think you can hide it from me?"

Pointing at Second Sister You, he spat on You Shi, and said, "Your family girl, no one wants it? Just send it to our house for dirty and smelly things. Luckily, girl Feng has a good relationship with you. You Treat her like this!"

Second Sister You's face turned purple immediately, but she had stumbled earlier and had nothing to say, so she could only cry and remain silent.

Youshi covered his face and wept bitterly, and said, "If I can be a little more in charge, why do I end up here?"

Jia Zhen ignored Youshi and dared not speak, lest Jia's mother would scold her.

Jia's mother became more and more annoyed, and was about to speak, when Jia Amnesty suddenly interjected, "Lian'er is right, she didn't go out of line for the sake of her children, if Lian's daughter-in-law hadn't lost her elder brother, he would have been born now, Lian'er Why is this? So I can't blame Lian'er for this matter. There are three ways to be unfilial and have no descendants. Lian'er is filial to his parents and ancestors!"

Mrs. Xing has always been obedient to him, she nodded hurriedly and said: "That's right, Brother Lang is already so old, Lian'er only has one clever sister and no son, so the old lady just has the heart to end her family? I heard What the master said is that Lian'er is right."

After hearing this, Sister Feng hated secretly, and then she smiled wryly, and sure enough, as Nanny Rong said, she had already been betrayed by everyone.

But Jia Mu was furious and said, "You think I'm angry with Lian'er? You don't even think about what time it is now!"

Except for Sister Feng, everyone looked blank.

Mother Rong sighed in her heart, the upper beam was not upright and the lower beam was crooked, they didn't care about the country's filial piety at all, they didn't take it seriously, that's why Baoyu ate wine for fun on her birthday, and Jia Lian married secretly during the filial piety Things.

Seeing this, Jia's mother was angry and angry, and she couldn't help crying: "What kind of evil is this?"

Sister Feng hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, her face was very haggard, and she cried: "Master and wife said so, I did my own crimes, otherwise the second master would not have caused these catastrophes! Old ancestor, ask the second master Lian to write a letter." Give me the letter of divorce, lest my sister Qiao and I, our mother and daughter, go to prison with him to suffer hardships and lose the face of our ancestors!"

After finishing speaking, he cried to Jia Lian: "I knew that the second master bought a house outside and had a newcomer, but I just thought that it was my fault that the second master was like this, so I kept silent, but the second master has It’s a small matter for a new person, but it’s a big deal to violate the laws of the country. I really have no choice but to ask the old lady to make the decision. If the second master is annoyed, just annoy me, don’t blame the old lady, the old lady is also thinking about the future of the second master.”

Jia Lian looked puzzled, still puzzled.

Mrs. Wang sighed: "Is Lian'er confused? The country is filial, the family is filial, stopping a wife and remarrying is a felony."

When everyone heard this, they turned pale at once.

Jia Mu sneered and said, "Are you afraid now? Why didn't you think about today when you were married?"

Jia Lian was so panicked that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed silently, feeling really regretful in his heart.

Sister Feng cried: "Second Lord likes newcomers, so he simply gave me a letter of divorce and told me to go to my house and go with my parents. After a year and a half, there will be double filial piety. By then, the three matchmakers and six hires will be married seriously The new second mistress, wouldn't it be more legitimate to change her name?"

Jia Mu said with a dark face: "Don't talk nonsense, no matter what, our family will not want you!"

Hearing Sister Feng's words, everyone shuddered when they thought of Wang Ziteng's power far away from his family.

Mrs. Wang said: "I'll just listen to the old lady for now, and I will do whatever I want with Feng girl."

Everyone quickly said yes, and dared not say anything more.

Jia's mother looked at Jia Lian and said, "I'm afraid that people like this will dirty the ground when people like this come into our house, but my grandmother doesn't think about you when you do these things. Who cares about you? You pack up immediately. , bring her in and put her in the house, don’t even think about new grandmothers and old grandmothers, how can such a flirtatious person be worthy of you! But since you have worshiped the world, you will be an aunt, but even if you come in, you have to wait for a while. After the consummation of the house, you should restrain your temper!"

Jia Lian really liked the gentleness and gentleness of Second Sister You, and was about to refute, Jia's mother raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "If you don't want to do it, I'll ask someone to give Feng girl a letter of divorce and send her home. , ask her father to decide for her."

When Jia Lian heard this, he was afraid of Wang Ziteng's momentum, so he immediately stopped the drums and flags.

But Sister Feng cried: "I don't dare to keep Second Grandma with me. I have a cruel temper and vicious methods, and I can't rub the sand in my eyes. If Second Grandma makes a slight mistake in the yard tomorrow, Second Master will not distinguish between black and white. Isn't it all mine?"

She has already made a show in the mansion, and she knows that servants' tongues are like knives, and Second Sister You has a very weak temperament, and those gossips alone can torture her to death, not to mention that Jia Lian likes the new and dislikes the old, so he may not guard her alone by then. You don't have to do it yourself, but Jia Lian will definitely blame herself. Knowing what the result will be, Sister Feng is not willing to take Second Sister You in.

Mother Rong listened to it, nodded secretly and remained silent, Sister Feng's move was very kind.

Mother Jia sighed and asked, "Then what's your idea?"

Sister Feng said: "It's better to let Grandma You live outside, as long as the second master doesn't go there. I just say to the outside world that the second grandma, the second master's new favorite, is a filial piety of the country and a filial piety. I live in the house, and I will take it in after a year or so."

Now, with the words of Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang's intentions, the power of the Wang family, and the irony of servants, she does not believe that Second Sister You can survive in peace. Even if she has a child within this year, she can't stay. Now, I don't have to get my hands dirty, but I can take good care of my body. Maybe I will have a son in a year or so. At that time, compared with my son-in-law, what is Second Sister You?

Jia Mu hesitated for a while and said, "In that case, let's do what you say."

Sister Feng hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and everyone was relieved to see that she was not making trouble out of no reason, nor was she relentless.

Sister Feng's statement spread out that day, and Jia Lian had to abandon Sister You and move back to the mansion. He secretly hated Sister Feng for suing Jia's mother. You're a thief, let Second Master curse you, it's better to go home, but I really don't want to give up on Second Master and Miss Qiao, so I have to swallow my anger and live my life."

Ping'er quickly consoled her: "Grandma is already very magnanimous today, I think the second master knows that he is only grateful."

Sister Feng said: "I'm afraid that the second master thinks I'm suing and hates me in his heart, but he doesn't want to think about it. If I want to sue, how can I wait until today? I knew it when he went to Ping'an Prefecture, but I just can't bear the second master to be punished by the old man." My wife reprimanded me and didn't say anything. Baoyu told my ancestors about it, and my ancestors wanted to calm things down, so they didn't tell me, but the girls spread the word. My wife asked the old lady when she found out, and the old lady comforted me again. I thought about it What the second master did is a big crime, otherwise I wouldn't tell the old lady the truth."

Hearing this, Jia Lian thought that these days Sister Feng was gentle and docile, she was no longer confronting him tit for tat, and she was not as jealous as before. He couldn't help being grateful and guilty at the same time.

Sister Feng had heard Jia Lian's footsteps before she said this, and sighed again: "I just hope that the sister of the You family will have a good life outside, and come in after a year or so to add a brother to our room."

When Jia Lian heard this, he stopped listening and kept his filial piety, so he went to the study and asked Qingjun to vent his anger.

When Sister Feng learned that he lived in the study, she gave a cold snort and suppressed her tears.

The next day, Jia Amnesty suddenly rewarded Jia Lian with a maid named Qiutong, and at the same time rewarded Jia Lian with 100 taels of silver, saying that he went to Ping'an Prefecture for a good job.

Sister Feng asked someone to clean up Qiutong's room, but she gritted her teeth with hatred, and said to Nanny Rong: "What do you mean that money is rewarded for doing well? How stingy is that old man, and when did he become so generous? Let alone come back from work. It's been a few days, and now I just agree with Lian's second master and second wife to get married well, and I'm ashamed of it."

Mother Rong persuaded: "Since grandma knows, she should have an idea in her heart."

Sister Feng said: "No problem, anyway, I'm not well now, just let Qiutong be here for a few days, with her, the second master is thinking about the second sister You, how can she not be bitter and jealous? Let them fight first. Let's fight!"

Daiyu and Xueyan understood Sister Feng's plan in this way, and sighed secretly.

Xueyan didn't want to mention this again, but suddenly remembered something, raised her voice and asked Xiaohe who was playing by the threshold: "It's almost the end of August, and autumn clothes used to be delivered as early as the end of summer and early autumn. Why haven't you seen the shadow yet? Go and ask."

Xiao He walked in and said with a smile: "There is nothing up and down in the mansion, sister wait for two days."

Daiyu had come back to her senses, and said: "I see that the mansion is getting more and more difficult, so it's a few days late. Why are you asking this? Are you still in a hurry to wear the clothes issued by the mansion? The clothes in your box are still there." It’s not worn all over, and it’s better than the ones in the mansion.”

Xueyan smiled and said: "Girl is not short of clothes. I have made several sets these days. We girls who are close-fitting are not in a hurry. We usually have a lot of clothes, so we are afraid that we will not have any clothes to wear? It's just these little girls and rough envoys below. The children are all looking forward to the clothes of the four seasons, but this time, I don’t know what to complain about.”

Daiyu sighed and said, "You're right."

After thinking about it, Fang said to Xueyan: "Since that's the case, go and get some rulers. We collect a lot every year. It's a pity that they are moldy and spoiled. I will give them a piece of clothing to wear. It is the house. It’s okay to be a few days late.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao He hurried out to tell everyone the good news.

When everyone knew about it, they were really happy, and they flocked here.

Xueyan stood up and washed her hands, took out the ruler and handed it out as promised, each person only had enough to make a set of clothes, and she couldn't help but be grateful.

After a few days, the mansion asked each room to get clothes, but here Jia Mu and Baoyu Daiyu sent people from the sewing room to send them specially. It was still four sets of clothes for each of the masters, and two sets for each of the servants. , the big girl's are all made of silk and satin, while the little girl's and the rough woman's are inevitably rougher, there are thick silk and cloth, depending on the status, there are so many.

Daiyu didn't wear clothes made outside, so she immediately gave two sets to Xueyan and two sets to Zijuan. Because when she came to see the jewelry from outside, she was slightly surprised and said: "In previous years, there were two sets. Jewelry, why are there only four hairpins and four bracelets this year?"

Xueyan saw that the clothes made for herself by the mansion were a peach red flowered thong and a big red crepe skirt, and the other was also very bright, because Nanhua died. Su, no one in the mansion knew about it, so he just put it away and didn't wear it. Hearing Daiyu's words, he glanced at the jewelry he sent and said: "We don't have any jewelry this time. However, the mansion has been flexible. Now National filial piety, family filial piety, wouldn't it cost less to make two sets of silver face masks than this gold hairpin and gold bracelet? The latter is not decent."

A gold bracelet weighs two taels, four is eight taels, plus gold hairpins, it can't be bought without one hundred and thirty taels of silver, but 40 taels of silver is more than enough for four or five sets of silver noodles.

Daiyu smiled, but then agreed: "You are very reasonable. You and Zijuan each have a pair of bracelets, and the hairpins are given to Ting Lan and the others, and they are divided. I will not wear them anyway. After finishing speaking, Zhou Hongcai sent some absolutes over since he went to the room to recite poems and compose odes. He said that he couldn't think about it, but she already had it, and was about to send someone back to him.

Thinking of the custom of Jia Lian, the prestige of Sister Feng, the prestige of sister Youshi
