The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

The third day of August is Jia Shishi's official birthday. Although this year is not a full birthday, Jia Amnesty intends to show off and make a name for himself. Jia Lian also wants to take the opportunity to contact relatives and friends, so they all said that they must do something big.

Wang Xifeng and Li Wan took orders, so it was natural to be as lively as possible. From July 28th, the mansion became lively.The respectable Zhuangtou stewards everywhere came to Rongqing Hall to kowtow and salute every day when they got up early or in the afternoon.Among these people, only one percent can get Jia Shishi to meet, and they are worth bragging about for a long time after they go back.

Wang Xifeng specially ordered the gold and silver shop to pick up the patterns of wealth, auspiciousness and longevity, and made a lot of gold and silver picks, one or two, and some half of one, there are two full baskets, ready to reward envoys.At the entrance of Ningrong Street, a running water mat was set up for six days, and the passers-by and ordinary people, whoever said a string of auspicious words, would have a full meal at the mat, which can be regarded as a big wave of filial piety.

In previous years, whenever the elders in the mansion celebrated their birthdays, the Jia family would spend money like running water, and even make donations in temples and Taoist temples inside and outside the city, and light the ever-burning lanterns to pray for blessings.This year Wang Xifeng made all sorts of calculations, and finally took half of the sesame oil money, and only gave noodles at the gate of the city, paying attention to the benefits.

After going through life and death, Wang Xifeng is extremely convinced of the afterlife, but she doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, so it's better to give it to the poor people directly, and it's not a waste of money.No matter how much lamp oil is lit in the temple, what is the use? Jia's mantou nunnery hides countless filthy things, and it is a good thing that it is advertised as a pure place of Buddhism.

Gossip aside, on the third day of the eighth lunar month, the gates of the Rongguo Mansion were wide open to welcome visitors from all over the world.

As for the men who came, it was natural for Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and others to entertain them with a banquet in the front yard.Whether it is drinking for fun, or singing and dancing, there are all kinds of tricks, and there is nothing to dissatisfy the guests.

As for the female relatives, they all entered the inner courtyard.The old imperial concubines of each family are naturally invited to enter the Rongqing hall to sit and talk with Jiamu.The younger wives and wives were arranged in the Rongxi Hall, where the two wives of King Xing and You Shi from the East Mansion greeted them.There are also young girls, Li Wan takes Yingchun and Tanchun to enjoy flowers and play in the flower hall of the small garden.

Wang Xifeng herself didn't have time to entertain, so after welcoming people in, she left and went to work.She is the president's planner, leading a bunch of daughter-in-laws in charge, maids and servants, in the small courtyard at the second gate, responsible for personnel scheduling and material arrangement.

After a lively birthday banquet, both the host and the guest were happy, and all the women who came from the inner house held Wang Xifeng's hand and praised her for being capable, courteous, and knowing how to advance and retreat.When Jia Shishi heard this, she was also honored, her face turned into a chrysanthemum smile, and she knew that she was very satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law.

It was finally a lively end, and by the time the family sat down in the Rongqing Hall, it was past half hour.

Jia Shishi is in good spirits, and the others are still able to support it with all their strength, but Wang Xifeng has been busy for several days, and today he is not touching the ground, and now he is drinking jujube tea slowly, Really exhausted.

Seeing this, Jia Shishi said with a smile: "Young girl Feng has put in a lot of effort this time, Yuanyang, you go and get the little red sandalwood box in my room. It was sent by the concubine Nan'an last year, and she said it was from the west. I don’t need the tribute sent here, it’s just right for your young daughter-in-law, and it’s a good sign to put it in the house.”

While talking, Yuanyang came over with a box, Jia Shishi opened it and looked at it, and then ordered someone to hold it to Wang Xifeng.Inside is an ornament of Hetian jade. This jade is shiny and shiny. It looks like a high-quality suet white jade. It is about an inch high and of the same quality. It is rare even among tributes.

The color of this jade is slightly yellow, and the carving is also festive. It is a wedding scene of a newlywed couple.The wedding candles on the table, the red dates and peanuts on the bed, and the bride's eyebrows and eyes are all clearly visible, which shows the exquisite carving work. There are four small characters written next to it, "a happy marriage".

This thing is really good, Wang Xifeng liked it when she saw it, got up and took it respectfully, and then smiled and replied: "You can see that I am smart today, your old man is celebrating your birthday, and I am a granddaughter-in-law, and I still have something to give." Take it. I have to get up early every day to burn incense sticks, and I have to ask the Bodhisattva to bless you every day to celebrate your birthday.

After hearing this, Jia Shishi smiled and spat at her: "Yuanyang, beat your second grandma for me, make her talk nonsense."

Yuanyang didn't move, but stood beside Jia Shishi, jokingly said in a crisp voice: "I don't dare, everyone in this mansion doesn't know that the second grandma is the old lady's treasure, and now she's calling me to beat her up." , and later wiped away tears with distress."

"Look, look, that's what I am, I'm so proud of being favored!" Wang Xifeng laughed out loud when he heard this, and raised his eyebrows proudly, "A few days ago our second master taught me to read, and I just learned it Here, who would have thought it would be used today.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room laughed, and Jia Shishi even laughed loudly: "Then you can learn from it, and when a female champion comes back from the examination in the future, it will open our eyes."

Mrs. Xing couldn't help laughing, but Mrs. Wang's smile was superficial, her eyes fixed on Li Wan, and she felt that her son married a piece of wood.Others didn't pay attention, but Wang Xifeng glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, showing some sympathy for this sister-in-law.

Li Wan had a hard life in his life. When he was in her natal family, her parents didn't pay much attention to her.It is said that the girl in the scholarly world has only learned a few words. Most of them are studying the precepts of women and women, forcibly teaching a lively girl into a wooden person.

After getting married, she got involved with Mrs. Wang, a mother-in-law. There was no need for beatings or scolding, but it hurts to cut flesh with a soft knife.What's more, Mrs. Wang has many ways to deal with people. When the sun is hot in summer, she calls you to pick flowers in the yard. In winter, it is cold and windy, and she says she wants to drink tea brewed in snow water.

Thinking of Jia Zhu's courtyard, there were already double-digit housemaids, Wang Xifeng silently shed a tear for Li Wan.Fortunately, Jia Zhu went there early, otherwise the concubine and concubine could all line up, relying on the family background of the second room, the days to come would definitely be poor.

Jia Lian was also lustful in her previous life, but Mrs. Xing didn't care about anything. Jia Amnesty didn't send Qiutong over until Second Sister You came to the door. Jia Shishi never interfered in their housework.Thinking about it this way, her life is much better than Li Wan's.

Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng sent out some kindness, and said with a smile: "It's too late today, the old ladies and ladies have been tired all day, so they should rest earlier."

Jia Shishi nodded again and again, as she got older, she was indeed a little tired: "What Feng girl said is very true, let's all go back and rest, I don't need to come here tomorrow morning to say hello, I will sleep a little longer. Especially Feng girl , allow you three days off, you are young, don't hurt your bones."

Seeing this, the two kings of Xing also opened their mouths to spare their daughter-in-law's morning and evening meditation, chatted a few more gossips, and then parted ways.
