The Lady of the Red Chamber

When Mrs. Wang woke up, she saw Zhou Rui's family standing by the bed, looking at her hesitantly.

Seeing Mrs. Wang open her eyes, Zhou Rui's family shouted in surprise, "Jin Chuan Yu Chuan, what are you still doing? Why don't you hurry up and help your wife get up."

Recalling what happened in the morning, Mrs. Wang only felt a splitting headache, and when she opened her eyes, she found that more than half of the things in the house were missing, and she couldn't help being furious: "What slaves whose hearts are filled with lard, even the things in the wife's room are gone." Dare to move."

Zhou Rui's family was a bit embarrassed, and after muttering for a long time, they replied cautiously: "Madam, these are taken away by the master's order."

"Master." Mrs. Wang frowned, knowing that the servant must not have such courage, but she still asked hesitantly: "Why are you moving our things?"

Zhou Rui's family swallowed their saliva, and bent even lower: "Master said, there is an imperial decree, and he ordered his wife to move out of Rongxi Hall. Although there is still plenty of time, the emperor's order cannot be violated. Let people first let some of the wife's The big thing has been moved to the East Courtyard, and it will be officially moved there tomorrow, and the Rongxi Hall will be handed over to the Grand Master."

Mrs. Wang's heart was blocked, and she almost died again.

The east courtyard is next to the stable, and in the hot summer, you can even smell the peculiar smell from the stable. How can people live in that kind of place?

However, the imperial decree has been issued, and Jia Zheng is a foolish, loyal and good-looking person.This time His Majesty lashed out at him, Jia Zheng was furious, wishing he could move out of Rongxi Hall quickly, so as not to make people laugh.

Mrs. Wang helped Zhou Rui's family to sit up and let Jin Chuan knelt on the ground to help her put on the exquisite embroidered shoes. She frowned and narrowed her eyes resentfully: "Go, go to Rongqing Hall."

She didn't believe that the old lady could still let it go and let the first room humiliate the second room like this.

Outside Rongqing Hall, before Mrs. Wang had time to enter the room, she heard Mrs. Xing, who was always stiff, talking and laughing loudly with Mother Jia.

Mrs. Wang stopped and listened attentively. After hearing this, she was so angry that she fainted again.

It turned out that Mrs. Xing was talking to Jia Mu about moving Sister Feng Jia Lian into Rongxi Hall.

"Old lady, my master and I are getting older, and now we don't have any children around us, so it's really lonely. Why don't we move Lian'er and Yingyatou into Rongxi hall together, so that my master and I can enjoy family happiness. "

Mrs. Wang clenched her fists tightly, her chest heaved and fluctuated, and she didn't even notice that the sharp nails pierced her palm.Thinking of the appearance of that villain Xing's success this morning, he wished he could go in and tear her mouth.

What Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian hold in their hands is the right of housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion.Now the Xing family wants Wang Xifeng to live with them, what does that sound like?Rongxi Hall has already been given to them, so why are they so greedy and not afraid to push themselves to death.

And Yingchun, a big concubine, how could she deserve to live in Rongxi Hall?Competing with her Yuan Chun for the status of the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion?

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Mother Jia was not in high spirits. Even Wang Xifeng, who was always upright, was standing neatly behind Mrs. Xing, watching her nose, nose, nose, and heart, and refused to speak.

Only Mrs. Xing didn't seem to be able to feel the weird atmosphere, she was eloquent and eloquent by herself.

Mrs. Wang couldn't bear it anymore.

She was really afraid that if Mrs. Xing continued to say that, the whole Rongguo Mansion would fall into the hands of the big house, so she signaled the servant girl to lift the curtain, and walked in with Jin Chuan'er.

Mrs. Xing heard the movement and turned her head to see Mrs. Wang coming in. She twitched her brows and said to Mrs. Wang affectionately: "My brother and sister came just in time. I'm discussing with the old lady about moving the house. I don't know what my brother and sister have to say , Let’s talk about it together.”

Mother Jia glanced at Mrs. Xing, who had been arrogant all morning, and said lightly, "Boss daughter-in-law, that's enough. Now that the imperial decree has been issued, Zheng'er has discussed with Shei'er, and you two will move immediately tomorrow at a good time." That's it. As for Feng girl and Ying girl, they can stay where they used to live, it doesn't need to be too much trouble."

Mrs. Xing is not happy anymore.

She can't control Wang Xifeng.After all, she is the daughter of the Wang family, and she doesn't know what will happen in the future. Anyway, as far as the moment is concerned, she has never been in the same heart with their eldest wife.

But Yingchun is bound to bring her back.It's a bit out of place for a girl from the noble family to live in Baoxia aggrievedly.

Mrs. Xing is also considered to be in good spirits today when she sees Mrs. Wang. When she sees Mrs. Wang, she wants to stab a few words, so as to repay the grievances that have been suppressed for many years: "Old lady, this is not a matter of trouble. I have already asked Brother Zhen, who came to the East Mansion, opened the ancestral hall and recorded the girl Ying in my name. She is now the only serious daughter-in-law in Rongguo Mansion, so she should have the pomp of a daughter-in-law, crowded in with the third and fourth girls. What's the matter with Baosha?"

Mother Jia's eyes sharpened when she heard the words, she looked at Mrs. Xing and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know about opening the ancestral hall to remember the daughter-in-law."

After all, Mrs. Xing has been suppressed by Jiamu for many years. Seeing Jiamu like this is still a little timid, but thinking of the letter from Zhen Guohou's mansion this morning, she became more courageous: "When I went to Dongfu with my master the day before yesterday, I put This matter has been done. Originally, seeing that the old ancestor was not feeling well recently, he didn't want to disturb the old ancestor with such trivial matters. He only cared about picking a good day to talk to the old ancestor. It didn't work out, so he caught up with today's situation It’s important to let Ying Yatou feel the good fortune of her ancestors.”

Mrs. Wang clutched her chest, listening to Mrs. Xing's thorny words from left to right, she felt stares in her eyes.

What did Xingshi say?What is the only decent daughter-in-law?

In this mansion, the only serious daughter-in-law is her Yuan Chun, not to mention born in such a good day, even God is so favored.Yingchun is just a girl from a concubine, how can she be compared with her sister Yuan?

Mother Jia was also obviously very dissatisfied with Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing's actions, her face was as calm as still water.

The boss and Mrs. Xing are so courageous.It should be known that there should be no girl in the whole house who can cross Yuanchun.If Yuanchun had a great fortune in the future, but there was a cousin with a higher status than her, what would it be like?

As long as Mrs. Wang thinks of her daughter being overwhelmed by Yingchun, her face looks as if her palette has been overturned, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Sister-in-law, neither you nor the old man would know that the old lady would say a word." Just go to open the ancestral hall, is it too disrespectful to the ancestors?"

Mrs. Xing wondered: "What are you talking about? Yingchun is the girl of our eldest family. Of course, everything about her is decided by our eldest family. Not to mention the current dynasty, since ancient times, I have never remembered that a prostitute has to go through her grandmother. Do you agree?"

Not really.

Seeing Mrs. Wang being choked to the point of being speechless, Mrs. Xing felt a sense of relief that she had never felt before.Knowing that the Rongguo Mansion is still in the power of Jiamu after all, she can't push too much, so she took a step back and said: "Ancestor, Brother Feng's daughter-in-law doesn't force it anymore, just ask the ancestor to let his daughter-in-law bring Yingchun, and the daughter-in-law is very happy." Enough."

Mother Jia glanced at Mrs. Xing uncertainly.Her fine eyes flickered, and the gully on her face deepened with the silence, looking at the wooden couch under her, she didn't know what she was thinking.

Mrs. Xing saw that Jia Mu still refused to agree, so she was heartbroken, and she simply pulled up the banner as a tiger skin: "Speaking of which, when a girl from the Yun family came to my place to have tea yesterday, she still said that the most important rules are in the Marquis's residence. , there is absolutely no reason to raise prostitutes and concubines together. Even Concubine Hui pays great attention to it."

Hearing Miss Yun's family and Concubine Hui, Mother Jia's eyelids twitched, thinking of Yuan Chun who was brought up with one hand, she finally compromised and said: "In that case, let Ying girl be taken over."

Mrs. Xing was beaming instantly, she stood up and blessed Jia Mu: "Thank you, old ancestor."

Mrs. Xing took her leave when she achieved her goal, and before she left, she glanced proudly at Mrs. Wang, as proud as a victorious rooster.

Seeing Mrs. Xing walking away, Mother Jia stroked the half-worn python satin pillow, and said calmly, "Amber, go get the second wife some ginseng tea."

"Yes, my ancestor."

Hupo hurried away, and hurried back again, when she put the ginseng tea in Mrs Wang's hand, Jia Mu said again: "Everyone back down, the mandarin ducks stay."

"Yes." Wang Xifeng and all the maids in the room blessed the body together, and led everyone out.

After everyone retreated, Mrs. Wang didn't bother to drink tea, and hurriedly said: "Old ancestors, the elders and the others are too much. It's fine to snatch the Rongxi hall, anyway, I'm half body The people of Huangtu don't dispute this name. But they still remember Yingchun as the first daughter, poor sister Yuan should be the most honorable eldest lady in the Duke's mansion, what should I do now?"

As he spoke, he picked up the handkerchief and covered his face, and began to cry.

Listening to Mrs. Wang's cry, Jia's mother felt very upset. She patted the pillow and reprimanded impatiently: "What's the use of crying? Why don't you ask Brother Zhen to open the ancestral hall again and bring Sister Ying back again?" Remember as a concubine?"

Mrs. Wang didn't say anything, but she looked at Jia's mother clearly thinking that this matter was feasible.

Jia's mother is really going to have a heart attack by the short-sighted and stupid Mrs. Wang.Seeing Yuanyang, he immediately took a cup of ginseng tea and handed it to Jiamu, and then gently patted Jiamu's back to let her breathe.

"What's the use of you crying here now? The imperial decree has been issued, and the Rongxi Hall must be moved. It's just a moment of patience. In the future, all the things in this mansion will not belong to Baoyu, so why not give way to the superior? "

Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up as if she had taken a reassurance after listening to Jia Mu's words.However, when I thought that such a good place as Rongxitang gave Yingchun a concubine, I felt that she had spoiled her own daughter's fate: "Old ancestor, Ying girl..."

Mother Jia glanced at Mrs. Wang, thinking of Yuanchun and Baoyu, she still felt sorry for them, and said patiently: "A lady in the boudoir is not Feng Geer. She has neither the right to be a housekeeper nor the right to inherit. Boss and the others insist on There is nothing to lose by taking it back. Not to mention that the sage seemed to praise the boss this morning. Isn’t it dissatisfied with the sage if you are too embarrassing for them at this time?"

This is a serious crime. Mrs. Wang knew the seriousness of it, and was immediately bluffed into silence.

Still wanted to say something more, but Mother Jia wearily waved Mrs. Wang back: "Instead of arguing here, it's better to think about how to help Yuan girl. If Yuan girl is successful in the future, I still worry about your mother." Scenery."

Mrs. Wang reluctantly returned to Rongxi Hall, thinking of the grievances she had suffered today, felt depressed, so she directly called her confidant girl and asked her to go to Yuanchun in the Sixth Prince's Mansion.

Seeing that everyone had left, Mother Jia rubbed her temples wearily, took another sip of tea, and said nothing.

Yuanyang quietly lit two candles, knelt in front of Jiamu and gently beat his legs, seeing that Jiamu's complexion improved, boldly asked: "Old ancestor, Yuanyang doesn't understand, you Today, this one is too kind to the eldest wife."

Mother Jia still had a bit of love and affection for the mandarin ducks. Seeing this, she nodded her forehead, looked at the cold tea in the cup, and said lightly: "Boss has been suppressed for so many years, and it is rare to have a chance to feel elated. It doesn't matter if you back up or down. After all, rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, not to mention that the boss is so generous."

Yuanyang lowered her head and flattered softly: "The old ancestor is still wise."

Mother Jia put down the teacup and waved her hand.Yuanyang immediately stood up knowingly, and obediently stood in front of Jiamu, and helped Jiamu up.

Jia Mu leaned on the mandarin duck's hand and walked a few steps forward, then turned her head to look at the tall seats in Rong'an Hall, and smiled modestly: "Give them back, and don't give them too much face. Too much If you over-promote them, it will inevitably lead to double-mindedness, Xiao thinks about something that shouldn't belong to them."

Yuanyang was startled, hurriedly lowered her head, stabilized her figure, helped Jiamu into the inner room, and stopped talking.

At the same time, Lin Ruhai, who was far away in Yangzhou, had received a transfer order from the Ministry of Officials, and was about to pack his luggage and enter the capital.
