Love of Friends in the Red Chamber

Every time Aunt Zhao saw Qingwen in Baoyu's room, she felt as if she saw herself back then.Clever and smart, strong in grasping the tip, with a heart higher than the sky, but life thinner than paper.

Aunt Zhao's boudoir name is Lianyi, but not many people know this name, and even fewer people can call her that - there is only one, Jia Zheng.She is the son of the Rongguo Mansion, and grew up in the mansion since she was a child. Because of her pretty looks, she was pointed out by her wife to the Second Master Zheng.

At that time, Aunt Zhao was only 12 years old, and Second Master Zheng was 15 years old. They were going to school and learned a few strong words and erotic poems. They thought her original name was too vulgar, so they named her Lianyi.The second master Zheng said that the name Lianyi was worthy of her: "Clear water comes out of hibiscus, and it is natural to carve." Since then, she has devoted herself to serving Jia Zheng.

The sincerity in youth may be the most lasting.When she was young, Lianyi was like Qingwen in Yihong Courtyard, who was spoiled so much by the young master that she didn't know how high heaven and earth were.The old lady likes beautiful people, and also likes people who are clever and showy. It is natural that the lotus can catch her old man's eyes.

In Jia's mansion, before young masters get married, the rule is that two people should be served in the house, and Lian Yi was so lucky to be chosen.As a child of the family, she attained enlightenment by herself, and her parents and brothers were all doing decent jobs. Lianyi felt that everything was going well, and she never thought that one day, her life would be different.

That day was the day when Jia Zheng got married. Lian Yi knew that the second master would always marry, but she always thought that the one who married into the family must be a lady from a rich family. Shi, everyone has a demeanor and is very considerate and pleasant to the people in the house.What's more, since I have the favor of the Second Master Zheng, I am not afraid of anyone after all.

But Jia Zheng married a young lady from the Wang family, who was capable and sharp, and was used to housekeeping.The Jia family took a fancy to the wealth of the Wang family, and the Wang family took a fancy to the ostentation of the Jia family. It seemed like no one had asked Jia Zheng if he was happy about it, and of course no one cared about Lian Yi's feelings.

Lian Yi couldn't forget the second day when the bride entered the house, when she and Ning Ye went in to meet the young mistress, the instant coldness in those phoenix eyes made her shiver.The ones who went in were Lianyi and Xingye, and when they came out, they had become Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou. The whole family praised the bride for her virtue and tolerance, but only Lianyi couldn't forget that chilling glance.

Since then, she has lived under the rule of the mistress. Although Lian Yi is a slave, she grew up in Jia's mansion and has never been treated poorly. She still doesn't know the pain of being a slave, and she still needs to be strong.

That Xie Ye is the sister who grew up with her, although she is quiet and gentle, but she has more winks than her.So the word-of-mouth in the whole house said that Aunt Zhou knew good and bad, and knew how to advance and retreat. On the other hand, Aunt Zhao is a coquettish girl, isn't she?He will seduce the young master.

Lian Yi is both angry and proud.The proud thing is that those people are jealous that they are favored by the young master; the angry thing is that they are so charming when they are clearly sincere to the young master.

She didn't take these rumors seriously at first, but she didn't know the truth of "the amount of money that can be shared, the accumulation can be destroyed".Slowly, various news spread from the courtyard of Second Master Congzheng, and Lian Yi's reputation became worse and worse.

The young mistress seems to be amiable, but the Zhou Rui's family under her is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. Every time Lianyi feels that she has been wronged and fights in front of the young mistress, the young mistress will not raise her eyes, but Zhou Rui's family Naturally, that sharp mouth would be there waiting to ridicule and humiliate her.

Lian Yi was angry, and at night she lay her head on the pillow and told Jia Zheng that Jia Zheng only advised her to be patient, how long will she be patient?However, Jia Zheng didn't say that the homework was tight in the future, and the master supervised him strictly, and Lian Yi couldn't bear to let him work too hard on her.She went to tell her wife, but she talked too much. For some reason, the wife gradually got tired of her and called her stupid.

She has never read, but the wife and young mistress are also illiterate, so she doesn't understand.What she especially didn't understand was that the wife obviously didn't like the young mistress and would often show her face, but why did she make a fuss and sue her in front of the wife, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became as respectful and friendly as mother-in-law?

Thinking about it later, Lian Yi really felt that she was stupid, she couldn't see that the young lady of the Wang family had a kind face, but she was hiding a traitor, and she couldn't see that the wife was not dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law, but wanted to use her hand to suppress her daughter-in-law's momentum so that she could control her Jia Fu.She only knows how to be jealous, obviously she can't handle the young mistress, nor can she be the wife's pawn.

It's no wonder that she complained that Lianyi couldn't be favored by Jia Mu. Seeing Wang's family was as if she had received divine help. Less than a year after entering the door, she got a boy in one fell swoop and gave birth to Jia Zhu. This is Jia Mu's eldest grandson, even Jia Mu I can't help but give her a good breath.Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Zhang, who was in charge of the family, had another dystocia. After saving her life and giving birth to Jia Lian, her soul disappeared.

The Xing family that Jia Amnesty continued to marry could not be supported by mud, so the power of managing the house fell into the hands of the Wang family. At this time, Jia's mother became an old lady, and Wang's wife became Mrs. Wang.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are evenly matched, and Mrs. Wang's power spreads rapidly, gradually subduing the Jia family.

Lian Yi is too scheming, she only knows that she is Jia Zheng's person, and only knows that he is dominating Jia Zheng in her own room. This is the only thing she cares about, and it is also the only thing she has done successfully.

But this doesn't stop Mrs. Wang's power from growing day by day, Lian Yi has to say that she is also secretly worried, but she is more arrogant and favored on the surface.

It was Aunt Zhou who acted as a gunman for Jia Mu and subdued her daughter-in-law.

It is also to blame that Mrs. Wang was dazzled by the temporary victory and forgot to restrain the housekeepers and daughter-in-laws under her command.Before she gave birth to Pearl, according to the rules of Jia's house, the aunt could not have children before the mistress, so as not to break the rules of concubines. Therefore, whenever Jia Zheng went to spend the night in the aunt's room, there would be no children the next day. The mother-in-law in the wife's room brought a bowl of soup for her to drink.

Every time Lian Yi drank that bowl of soup with hatred, she only hoped that one day she would give birth to her own children.But after Jia Zhu was born, I don't know whether it was a big forgetfulness or on purpose, the wife's room still gave out the bowl of soup.The wife is in confinement, no one dares to make noise, including Lianyi.

Unexpectedly, the usually quiet Ning Ye is pregnant.No one knew how much she gambled to avoid that bowl of soup.But Zhou Rui's family had the guts and the ability to say that the aunt had flatulence, and she couldn't help explaining that a bowl of medicine was poured down and aborted a male fetus that had already formed.

Things got bigger.When Lian Yi first heard about this, she was still a little sullen at first, but when she saw the miserable scene of the water lily leaves, she couldn't help feeling sad when the rabbit died and the fox was hurt by the things.

Jia's mother is waiting to catch her daughter-in-law's fault, how can she let such a thing go lightly?Immediately, several housekeepers and daughter-in-laws involved in the incident were dismissed, and even Zhou Rui's family was punished regardless of Mrs. Wang's face.As soon as Jia Zhu was full moon, Mother Jia carried the child into her own room. The excuse was that there was a mess in Mrs. Wang's room. Let her fix it first, and don't neglect her grandson.

Only then did Mrs. Wang see her mother-in-law's color.The originally flamboyant temperament was born one by one with the children, and they were carried to the old lady's house to raise them one by one. If she wanted to see the children, she had to lower her eyebrows and be pleasing to the eye. Without a trace, she became obedient and obedient like a wooden person, serving her mother-in-law, watching her two sons and daughters having fun at the old lady's knees, but not very close to herself.

All the resentment accumulated day by day like this.All the grievances Mrs. Wang suffered from the old lady turned back and spread to Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou.Aunt Zhou has been silent since she lost the child, and Jia Zheng is tired of her, so he doesn't go to her room anymore.So Madam Wang actually vented most of her resentment on Lian Yi.

Lianyi also slowly lost her original self and became a resentful woman, complaining day after day, she dared not openly contradict Mrs. Wang, but she kicked other cats and dogs even if she had nothing to do. , making people in Jia's mansion hate dogs.

Mrs. Wang didn't expect her to be such a person, but she breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't bother to look at her again—the only thing Mrs. Wang couldn't let go of was that such a disgusting woman, but her husband liked it anyway. Go to the room of that fox Meizi every night.

In the fight with Mrs. Wang, Lian Yi actually won.It's just that the price was so heavy that when she tasted the taste of victory, the corners of her mouth smelled of blood. She didn't feel the joy of victory at all. Instead, she felt a deep hatred for Mrs. Wang, so hated that she wanted to eat her flesh raw. Willingly.

It may be that in this battle, although Mrs. Wang gave in, Lian Yi sacrificed her dignity. Yes, Mrs. Wang may not have imagined that Auntie also has dignity.And once a person shows his scales and claws and releases his animal nature, he can never be a human again.Everyone's eyes don't allow it, even her own conscience doesn't allow it.In the middle of the night, she thought to the wall alone, thinking that she had become such a good person by herself, so she could only grit her teeth and keep hating.

However, Mrs. Wang died, after her daughter died after enjoying all the blessings, and before her son became a monk after suffering all the sins.Lian Yi was a little surprised, she had been fighting all her life, all her life, and the enemy she always thought would continue to fight endlessly, just let go of her husband and son.

She was a little bit lost.As for the withering of the family business, she actually didn't care much about it—she didn't cherish anything that wasn't hers.Her daughter is still alive and well. Although they are in the remotest corners of the world and they will never see each other again, Lian Yi is relieved that she is living according to Tanchun's own wishes. not see.Her son is her life, although the son is useless, it is better than Baoyu's embroidered pillow.

It's just that Jia Zheng passed away so soon, which Lian Yi never expected.But the Jia Zheng before his death was not like the Jia Zheng Lian Yi used to know - lamenting and crying all day long, but there was nothing he could do. It's decadent - where is the shadow of the romantic and suave back then?

So when Jia Zheng died, Aunt Zhao only felt a little sad, but more relieved, because it was too expensive to seek medical treatment and buy medicine, and it was too hard to take care of a patient.After Jia Zheng's death, only Baoyu and Jia Huan remained on the second room of Jia's mansion.Baoyu had already left the house, and after his father died, apart from coming to mourn and mourn, he never asked for some of the family property.

Aunt Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help being a little contemptuous—this Baoyu is really not rigid, she doesn't even know how to fight for what she deserves, and she can't complain that she couldn't protect Qingwen back then.Thinking of this, he couldn't help recalling Jia Zheng's gentle protection over the years, and couldn't help crying hard in the mourning hall.

Aunt Zhao knew very well that Jia Zheng's property was not enough for Jia Huan to start a family, so she pushed Jia Huan to find Jia Cong. Take care, sooner or later, I will always be able to find an official position - Aunt Zhao already knew that Jia Huan was not a material for studying, this child was the victim of the fight between herself and Mrs. Wang, and she had been a scapegoat and punching bag too many times, and she was tortured. Bad temper.

When Jia Huan went out to seek business, Aunt Zhao closed her door, leaving only a few caring maids and women, and the rest were dismissed. She and Li Wan were also very similar, and she easily avoided being an old friend of Jia's mansion. There is no meeting of old friends, not to mention that she doesn't have the status to socialize, so she doesn't want to humiliate herself, she just cautiously guards the little remaining property for Jia Huan, and she doesn't feel wronged.She was originally from a poor family, although Jia's mansion is said to be rich, but that wealth eats people and drinks blood, she really doesn't miss it.

Later, Jia Huan really survived, and Jia Cong recommended him to be a fifth-rank acquaintance of the household department, with light errands and plenty of money. Jia Huan was very satisfied, so Aunt Zhao asked the official media to marry her son.Seeing that Jia's mansion is still Guisheng, and Jia Huan has Jia Cong to take care of him, they are very courteous.Soon it was decided that the second lady of the servant's family, although she was not born to his wife, was said to be very handsome, very dignified and capable.

It's just that Aunt Zhao was thinking about her own identity, she would never dare to pretend to be an elder in front of the official lady, how would she deal with herself at that time?She is also transparent, she has never been willing to be a little fugitive, and she will not make things difficult for her son, but she can accept any grievances.

Before the bride came in, Aunt Zhao packed up the things in her house, packed a few bags, and moved to a small courtyard in the west city, giving up the house to the bride.She said to Jia Huan: "If you have a conscience, you will come to see your mother often. I don't dare to accept your daughter-in-law's kowtow. There is no such blessing, and there is no such reason."

Although Jia Huan could not bear it, she solved a potential problem after all, and her heart was actually relaxed, but she shed two tears at the end, and Aunt Zhao felt relieved that she did not raise her son in vain.As for the daughter-in-law there, she originally thought that having such an embarrassing mother-in-law was troublesome, but now that she is so knowledgeable, she is very happy and generous. Although she doesn't visit the house, she often sends someone to give things away.

Aunt Zhao's own savings over the years had already been married to Jia Huan, and later Jia Huan agreed to give her some pocket money, but she didn't want it either.She had already made up her own plans—but she had a thick skin, and when Daiyu came to Beijing, she went to beg and took a job in the Lin family's silver building. Good things, ordinary pearls and jades are in her hands, and they are matched with endless patterns, which are very easy to sell, and the shopkeeper of the silver building dare not look down on her.

She relied on her ten fingers to support herself in this way, and her only thought was that Jia Huan could bring her newborn grandson to show her.The child does not look as wretched as Jia Huan, but looks like Jia Zheng when he was young. Aunt Zhao loves her like a sweetheart.

The author has something to say: Many relatives want to see the daily life of Jia Cong and Daiyu, I am sorry that I can't write it, maybe Daiyu's demeanor is not suitable for worldly affairs.So Ah Tong will write about the little people in the Red Mansion.
