Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

Until a long time later, Wang Xifeng always regretted why she didn't tell her aunt, Mrs. Wang Ziteng, everything about that day in Rongguo Mansion.The concealment at that moment affected her entire second half of her life.

But how did Wang Xifeng know this at that time?

Could she say that she secretly inquired about the conversation between her uncle and aunt, and knew that her elder intended to betroth her to Jia Lian, so she deliberately approached Jia Lian when she was a guest at Rongguo Mansion?I'm afraid that as soon as the words are spoken, the old aunt who has worked so hard to please her in the past will change her color in an instant, and even if she is not restrained, she will hate her in her heart.

Regarding her unrestrained behavior that day, Wang Xifeng recalled afterwards that she couldn't believe that she would do such a bold thing.A girl who has never been out of the court is playing with a boy who is not much different. Although she has the name of relative on her face, she is just a family friend.This kind of behavior, no matter how courageous she is usually, is really out of line.To let others know that I had already guessed that the two families were going to get married at that time, I am afraid that I will look down on her even more—how can a girl go to see her possible future husband by herself?

When Wang Xifeng came back from Rongguo Mansion anxiously that day, she was worried that her aunt would say something about her, but her aunt just patted her head and said, "Poor thing, there is only one girl at home and no playmates, and my brother is not careful. It must be boring at home." But he didn't say anything.

Wang Xifeng was grateful for her aunt's kindness that day, and in her heart she only regarded her as close as her own mother, and couldn't think of anything else.After returning to the palace in a few days, Mrs. Wang Ziteng asked, Wang Xifeng was guilty, but naturally saved as much as she could, and only said that she was playing with Yuanchun Jialian and Wang Ren - this is also true, Wang Xifeng only said that she She has always been closer to Jia Lian, just to please him. At that time, Mrs. Wang Ziteng did not expect that her niece and daughter, who came from all over the world, would do such a careless and stupid thing. I heard that there are so many people, and there are girls and women. The waiter didn't ask any more questions, and with a hum, he revealed the matter.

Most of the girls and women who served Wang Xifeng in Rongguo Mansion that day were from the Wang family of Rongguo Mansion, and the one brought from the Wang family was just a little girl who was not sensible.If there had been a governor at that time, or Mrs. Wang Ziteng had asked a few more questions, maybe the following things would not have happened.

But in this world, where are there so many ifs?

After Wang's long-term sugar-coated bombardment and family affection offensive, in Wang Xifeng's heart, this eldest aunt is really the most beloved elder. I don't know if it is because of guilt for neglecting her before, or because her stomach is getting bigger and bigger. The more sensitive he is, he regards her as a substitute for his own daughter. Sometimes Wang Xifeng feels that the two Yuanchun may not be as likable as she is in front of Wang.

It has to be said that Wang Xifeng is quite proud in his heart.If it weren't for my exquisite mind, I could coax my aunt so happy?Yuan Chun was fortunate to be his aunt's biological daughter, and in the end, his aunt loved him more than her.I don't know what I have learned from Mrs. Jia all these years?

Everyone has vanity, and Wang Xifeng doesn't seem to have any thoughts about Yuan Chun, but when everyone shows that they are better than others, vanity is at work, and they will feel that they seem to be much better, and they will judge others in their hearts. It has a hint of looking down.

On this day, Wang Xifeng was in front of Mrs. Wang Ziteng, and suddenly someone sent by the Wang family asked Mrs. Wang Ziteng and Wang Xifeng to go to the flower viewing party through the mansion.Mrs. Wang Ziteng was still amazed at what flowers are being enjoyed in the moon when it is warm and cold. The visitor was very embarrassed and said: "My wife also knows that such an invitation is too presumptuous, but I just feel uncomfortable in my daily life. I really want to find someone to accompany me to talk." Speaking of which, there is an early spring blooming in the flower room, so I invited my uncle, wife and cousin to watch it together, and my wife specially invited a female storyteller to come and read the book, so my uncle, wife and cousin will appreciate it."

That servant has a sharp mouth, but no matter how good he is at talking, it won't change the flower viewing leave. It's true that Mrs. Wang wants to talk to someone.Mrs. Wang Ziteng is proud and arrogant. When she thinks of her sister-in-law, she regards herself as someone who laughs with her. When she thinks of it, she asks someone to call her. Is she the one who is always on call?I must have been angry in my heart, but I just stretched out my hand not to hit the smiling man, and said to the servant with a smile: "It's not a coincidence, I haven't done a lot of things in this house, I really can't get away, if I want Why don't you let Feng girl go, she has a quick mouth and a quick mind, and your wife can reach ten or a hundred people with her by her side."

Before the Wang family sent people out, they had said that Mrs. Wang Ziteng would follow her if she didn't come, but Wang Xifeng would definitely bring her here. Now that Mrs. Wang Ziteng had opened her mouth, the servants naturally didn't refute, so they agreed and withdrew. Outside the house, waiting for Wang Xifeng to clean up.

It was not the first time for Wang Xifeng to go to the Wang's mansion. Mrs. Wang Ziteng didn't take it seriously, called her mother-in-law and maid, and re-dressed Wang Xifeng, telling her: "If the time is not urgent, don't rush Come back soon, and stay with your aunt for a few more days. Your aunt is pregnant now, so she has to be careful wherever she goes. Since she likes you by her side, you should pay more attention, and take good care of your aunt wherever she goes. .”

Wang Xifeng nodded emphatically: "Auntie, don't worry, I can save it. No matter where my aunt goes, I will never leave my aunt and take good care of her." If she goes out to Rongguo Mansion, she will definitely follow her closely.

That's what Mrs. Wang Ziteng wanted, and she felt relieved after getting her guarantee, and then said something like "Don't be naughty, don't disturb your aunt too much", and sent people to go.

Wang Xifeng got into the carriage sent by the Wang family, and An'er, the girl next to her, accompanied her in the silk carriage at the front. The girl, the mother-in-law and a few other girls watched and saluted, and then sat in the green oilcloth cart at the back.

As soon as she got into the carriage, she saw that tea, water and snacks were all ready in the carriage. An'er helped Wang Xifeng to sit down, and poured tea and snacks for her. Speaking of Wang, she was full of praise: "My aunt is really careful, and she specially prepared These teas are for you to eat on the road, this sweet-scented osmanthus cake and almond cake are all your favourites, my aunt really loves you to the bottom of my heart."

Hearing these words, Wang Xifeng felt elated. She drank a good glass of water and ate two pieces of snacks. They were all fragrant and soft. They were just made today. Thinking of the journey between the two families, the time to pick her up must be the kitchen of fate. Made fresh in the morning.Just because she refuses to let herself eat yesterday's cake is enough to make Wang Xifeng feel happy.

Wang Xifeng sighed: "I was also ignorant before. I didn't know that my aunt is such a kind and kind elder. It took so long to get close to my aunt..."

An'er saw her sad, and hurriedly said: "Why do you say this, girl? How can you blame you? Although my aunt also gave gifts, she didn't see you very much. You and my aunt didn't talk much, so naturally they are not as good as you are now. After living together, I understood deeply... They are all blood relatives, and it is never too late to get close."

Speaking of which, in the past, the Wang family really didn't see much affection for Wang Xifeng.Wang Xifeng is not working under the Wang family, so naturally she doesn't try to please her, it's no wonder that the aunt and nephew are getting better.Now that they come and go, they spend a long time together and talk a lot, so it's strange that the relationship can't get better.

Wang Xifeng smiled and didn't say a word. Was it because she didn't get close to the Wang family before because she didn't have much contact with her?It's just that Mrs. Wang Ziteng's face turned strange when she heard Wang's name a few times, and she guessed that she might not like this eldest aunt, so she could distance herself from her.The situation is different now, Mrs. Wang Ziteng encourages her to get close to Wang Shi. If she really wants to get engaged to Jia Lian, Wang Shi will be both an aunt and an aunt in the future, and they will meet each other more often. Can they establish a good relationship?The Wang family is so kind to her, and Wang Xifeng reciprocates, isn't she also kind to others?

The master and the servant were gossiping, and the time passed in no time. The coachman outside shouted: "My cousin, I'm almost at the mansion. Please sit down a little longer, and I'll be there in a while."

An'er shouted outside: "Don't worry, walk slowly, don't bump the girl."

The coachman answered yes loudly, and the carriage really moved forward slowly.

An'er talked about the coachman, and praised Wang again: "Although the driving is slower, the advantage is that he is honest and stable. He usually waits for the aunt and wife, and he is sent out to pick up the girl. This is because the aunt loves the girl."

Wang Xifeng glanced at her and was about to speak, when suddenly the driver outside shouted: "What are you doing?" Then the carriage began to bump rapidly, and Wang Xifeng Aner might as well fall to the side and hit the carriage. There was a pain.

An'er didn't care about the pain from the bump on her head, and hurriedly used her body to support Wang Xifeng, for fear that she would bump into it again.But the carriage was too swaying, and it kept rushing forward. Even if An'er had the heart to protect Wang Xifeng, she was powerless during the rapid bumps. After a while, both of them were dizzy and fell I was staggering.The tea and pastries on the small table were scattered all over the floor, but the water was not very hot, and the clothes on his body were thick, so he didn't get burned.

The coachman screamed outside the carriage: "The girl is not well, the horse is startled, come out quickly, the carriage is about to fall!"

Wang Xifeng An'er's face changed color in an instant. Every year in Beijing, there are countless deaths and injuries caused by the horse falling off the horse or the carriage overturning after being frightened. In the face of the disaster that may die if one is not careful, all intelligence and reason are vain. The two little girls It was in the prime of life, how clever they were usually, but now hearing the exclamation of the coachman, both of them couldn't stop crying, their hands and feet were trembling with fear and terror.

Frightened so weak, the desire to survive still made Wang Xifeng and An'er trembling and cursing, Qiang Zi stabilized his figure in the bumps and swaying, climbed to the door of the car little by little, lifted the curtain, the coachman hadn't jumped out of the car yet, Pulling on the rein tightly, seeing Wang Xifeng and An'er, his eyes lit up, and he wanted to come over to help, and then he made a move, and almost lost the rein in his hand, so he didn't dare to move anymore, and only shouted at Wang Xifeng and An'er desperately: "Biao girl, Miss An'er, jump out of the car quickly, the horse is going crazy, the little one may not last long."

Wang Xifeng An'er looked at his hand pulling the rein, it was not all bleeding from the rough rope, and the veins on the back of his hand were exposed, it was obvious that he had used all his strength.

Can they jump out of the car?Or in such a bumpy situation?Wang Xifeng An'er held onto the carriage door tightly, and no one dared to move.

The coachman shouted anxiously: "Miss, don't hesitate, the carriage hits something later, and the lady may be injured again." As if to verify his words, when the horse rushed to the side, the carriage was still moving according to its inertia. To go forward, pull and pull like this, the carriage moved quickly, and the rear of the car hit the archway beside the street. The huge impact drove the whole carriage forward. Wang Xifeng Aner was caught off guard, and instantly let go of the door frame Roll forward.

An'er was unlucky. She fell off the car and fell to the ground. After a scream, she couldn't move, and she didn't know what happened.

Wang Xifeng, however, had sharp eyesight and quick hands to grab the board of the carriage, and her upper body was still lying on the rut, so she was not thrown off the carriage.But her legs were hanging in the air, and the carriage ran faster and faster. Wang Xifeng couldn't control her figure at all, and her legs were quickly dragged away on the ground.

The soft-soled embroidered shoes that Miss Qianjin wore at home could not withstand such rapid friction, and her feet would bump into something from time to time. In just a few breaths, Wang Xifeng's feet were already numb, and her hands were getting softer and weaker. Stay on the board.

The coachman was so anxious that he pulled the carriage even more desperately, his forehead was full of thick tendons, he was taking medicine and gnashing his teeth as if meeting an enemy from a previous life, desperately trying to stop the frightened crazy horse.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

Not only did the carriage not stop, but the driver’s exertion caused the horse to suffer from pain, and it ran even faster. The driver let out a muffled snort, the wound on his hand burst, blood dripped down, and soon stained the carriage board under his feet red .

At this time, the coachman saw that there were still people walking in front of him, and he was frightened out of his wits. He shouted to the front with all his strength: "Be careful, get out of the way!"

What Jia Zheng said, after all, he is an official, and he is the second master from the Rongguo Mansion. Jia's mother would never ask him to live on business, so she asked Jia Amnesty to give him to him at the place where the official residences are concentrated behind Ningrong Street. He bought a house.Because this is a place where officials gather, the control is extremely strict, and small vendors dare not come here, and there are fewer pedestrians on the road during the day.The carriage in the lead didn't bump into anyone after the startled horse, and the coachman didn't expect that there would be two walking people here, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly warned.

But what they did was really big, without the coachman saying, the two had already noticed, and hurriedly hid under the wall, watching the crazy horse whizzing by with the carriage, stunned.

I don't know whether the coachman was frightened or the horse itself was frightened. The horse that was running wildly forward suddenly neighed, its front hooves stood up, and the entire rut was pulled up. live?As soon as the hand was released, the whole person fell to the ground, his legs hit the ground first, and his head hit the ground, and he passed out immediately.

The coachman didn't care about himself anymore, he hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, rolled on the ground several times, and finally managed to stand up.The horse had already run away, so the coachman hurried over to check on Wang Xifeng. During this time, Wang Xifeng's legs were covered in blood, and she hurriedly called for help: "Come on, come on, is there anyone~"

At this time, the two people I saw first also ran over, one tall and the other short, the taller was older, handsome and gentle, his clothes were white from washing, and he was in good spirits.The shorter one was younger, and the material of his clothes was obviously worse than that of the person next to him. He looked like a master and a servant.

Seeing them, the coachman shouted: "Our girl is from Jia Yuanwailang's house in front. The carriage was shocked, and the girl was injured and couldn't move. Could you please come to the front and help someone to look at it?"

Hearing this, the tall man said anxiously, "Jia Yuanwailang's family? Isn't that the brother Jia Zhu's house? Why is it brother Jia's sister?" He called the servant beside him, "Zhang Xing, go quickly, go call someone Come and help."

Turning around again, the coachman knelt beside Wang Xifeng's legs, trembling all over. Seeing that Wang Xifeng didn't know anything about people, and his face was paper-colored, he couldn't help shaking his head, wondering what happened to him?

It really shocked the horse, what a disaster!
