The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

"What did you say? What's wrong with the second wife?" Wang Xifeng's complexion changed drastically. Huo De got up and stared at Jia Lian in front of him, but he didn't realize it for a long time.

The corner of her clothes turned over the teacup on the table, and the freshly brewed Jin Junmei was scattered all over her body, and the steam steamed out, blurring Wang Xifeng's face and expression. .

Seeing her losing her composure, Jia Lian hurriedly raised her voice in amazement, "An'er and Xia Zhu come in, and Le'er is going to get some ice! Grandma may have been burned."

While cleaning the tea stains on Wang Xifeng's body, Jia Lian asked anxiously, "Where did you get burned? Why were you so careless? Just ask me what you want to know. Would I still keep it from you? "

Wang Xifeng woke up after being scalded by the tea. Feeling the burning pain in her waist, she frowned.

An'er and Xia Zhu came in, seeing the mess all over the place, they didn't dare to ask, they hurriedly helped Wang Xifeng into the inner room, took off the outer clothes and looked closely to see if there were any injuries.Qiuyue and Le'er were a step behind, followed in with ice cubes and burn ointment, and took care of Wang Xifeng carefully.

In October, I had already changed into thicker clothes, so the hotness was not serious, it was just redness and heat.I put on the good burn ointment, and after a while, the red marks disappeared, and the burning pain was no longer there, but I felt a coolness.

After being changed into a new dress by the waiter, Wang Xifeng came back to his senses completely, and the shock of shock from just now disappeared on his face, and he returned to a sense of indifference.

After waving for the maids to go down, Wang Xifeng asked Jia Lian again: "My aunt, did she really go there like this? Who did it, the Jia family or the Wang family?"

Jia Lian nodded, and then sighed: "No one did anything, she committed suicide by drinking medicine herself. In front of Wang Ziteng and the old lady, there was no time for anyone to react, and she lost her breath in the blink of an eye. "

Wang Xifeng was silent for a while, and then asked again: "Where did she get this medicine, it's so poisonous, it's not an exaggeration to say that it seals her throat when she sees blood."

Jia Lian said nonchalantly: "What's so strange about this, after all, she can find even the secret medicine of the court, let alone poison. Your aunt of the Wang family is really..."

When Jia Lian said this, remembering that Wang Xifeng was also surnamed Wang, he lowered his voice an octave, and said secretly, "Be cruel to others, but don't give way to yourself."

Wang Xifeng gave him a blank look, and then said angrily: "What's wrong with our girls from the Wang family? She was also forced by the men of your Jia family! When my aunt was in her mother's house, she was praised by everyone as a straightforward person. It was forced by your Jia family! The men couldn't stand still, but they encouraged the women to charge forward, and I shrank my neck like a fool!"

Wang Xifeng spat hard, her face full of disdain.It is true that she resented the Wang family, but Jia Zheng was not a good person, it was only the difference between fifty steps and a hundred steps.

This scolding is ugly, but Jia Lian has nowhere to refute it, because whether it is Jia Zheng in this life or himself in the previous life, they all have this kind of virtue.

He wiped his face, and then changed the subject: "This matter is still a secret. Only the old lady, you, and I know about it in the mansion, and even the second master doesn't know about it. So, don't miss the trace, just pretend Just don’t know.”

Wang Xifeng was a little puzzled when he heard the words: "Is this a secret funeral? I went as soon as I went. Anyway, since a few months ago, there have been rumors in our mansion that the second wife is not feeling well and has contracted a serious illness? Now even people It's gone, just send a letter to relatives and friends, why are you still hiding it?"

Jia Lian's expression was a bit indescribable, but he still explained in a low voice: "Uncle Wang's meaning is that the elder sister's wedding is less than a month old, so it is not good to announce the funeral at this time. As for the old lady's meaning, it is probably because of the environment. Brother, the second wife went to the full moon banquet he just organized yesterday, so it is inevitable that he will get a reputation as a Kemu."

Wang Xifeng listened with a blank face, and after a long time, she sneered lightly, raised her legs, went into the inner room and lay down.

She thought of Daiyu and Yingchun who died early in the previous life, Tanchun who married in a foreign country, and herself who was abandoned and died tragically in prison.At the same time, I also have a more shocking understanding of the ruthlessness of Jia Shishi and Wang Ziteng, they are all smiling tigers.

Even though Mrs. Wang had countless mistakes, she still paid the price of her life, but now that she is dead, it has become a shameful thing, and even a funeral cannot be done, how can it not be chilling.

As the daughter of the Wang family and the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, Wang Xifeng lay on the bed, feeling a bit of the desolation of the death of a rabbit and a fox.She pulled the quilt over and tightly covered herself, but she still couldn't get rid of the coldness.

Jia Lian followed her, seeing her movements, and rarely said a word.

At such a time, it seemed that what he said was wrong, and he couldn't resolve Wang Xifeng's worries.

After a long while, Jia Lian said softly: "You have a good rest, I'm in the study, and ask the maid to call me if I have something to do."

Wang Xifeng hummed inaudibly, and Jia Lian waited for a while for no response, then quietly went to the study.

Wang Xifeng lay on the bed for a long time, and finally was yelled at by Brother Mao: "Ah, ah. Ah, sac!"

Wang Xifeng heard the last sound, turned over from the bed, walked out of the inner room in two or three steps, looked at Mao Ge'er in surprise and said: "Can Mao Geer call mother?"

Xi'er was also a little surprised at the side, and turned to look at Mao Ge'er's nanny: "I don't know about this, but I have never heard him call before, but these days the nanny often teaches him to speak, maybe even after learning how to speak No."

Maoge'er has two nurses. The one who came with me today is named Ma, and they are called Lady Ma.

She was originally a girl from the Ma family who helped Jia Lian in the darts, and she was considered a trustworthy family. It happened that she was born half a month earlier than Sister Feng, so she was invited to be a nanny.The contract she signed with the Jia family was not a death contract, she only agreed to stay in the Jia family for a year, and she would leave when Brother Mao was weaned.

There is also a nanny surnamed Wang, who is Wang Xifeng's dowry daughter-in-law. Wang Xifeng is holding the family's identity, and it will turn upside down, which is not good for Brother Mao.The two nannies were divided into morning and evening shifts, and there were four big maids, four young maids, and two nurses who were in charge by their side, which protected Mao Ge'er in an airtight manner.

Now Mrs. Ma heard Xi'er asking, and replied with a smile: "I did teach my brother to speak, but these eight-month-old children are just listening. Who would have thought that our brother is so smart? I just learned to speak."

When Wang Xifeng heard someone praise her son for being smart, she put aside all the sorrows and sorrows just now, hugging her precious son was a good kiss.

Seeing Jia Lian outside through the window, he breathed a sigh of relief and left quietly.Not in vain, he made a fuss with his son, and secretly asked the servant girl to bring someone over, finally making his wife laugh.

It's fun here, but it's not the case on the other side of the second room.

Wang committed suicide by taking poison in front of Wang Ziteng, which greatly stimulated Wang Ziteng.

Jia Shishi sighed, turned around and went out, leaving only Wang Ziteng sitting in the Buddhist hall for a while, then suddenly got up.He walked around the small Buddhist hall, saw the simple kitchen, the vegetable field with green onions, the crooked wood, and the bedroom full of coarse linen, and couldn't help crying.

His younger sister, the eldest lady of the Wang family, was supposed to live a life of gold and jade, but she ended up in such a miserable end.And the root of all this is marrying Jia Zheng, a hypocrite. If it wasn't for helping him win over the Jia family and exchanging the Jia family's connections in the army, the Wang family would never have married Jia Zheng.

But now Jia Zheng is still alive, but his sister is dead!

Wang Ziteng, who was burning with anger, was not dazzled by anger, but his mind became clearer.

Now that the Jia family has evidence in their hands, it is true that the Wang family was at fault, and he cannot attack Jia Zheng immediately.But it will be long in the future, after the limelight is over, Jia Zheng will be sent down to accompany her. After all, they are a married couple, so naturally they should live and die together.

In this remote small Buddhist hall, Wang Ziteng secretly made up his mind, but no one knew about it.

Jia Shishi, who left the Small Buddha Hall, turned to Lixiangyuan to see Jia Zheng.

After drinking the medicine for the past few days, Imperial Physician Wang continued to give Jia Zheng acupuncture and moxibustion every day, but there was little effect.The right side of Jia Zheng's body still twitched and trembled from time to time, but with the support of his servants, he was able to walk a few steps down the ground.

When Jia Shishi came in, Jia Zheng was walking slowly in the yard with a cane in one hand.

Looking at his son, who was only in his early forties, and his current poor behavior, Jia Shishi was filled with hatred in his heart.But Mrs. Wang has already apologized with death, so why not flog the corpse, that's all.

As soon as Jia Zheng turned his head, he saw Jia Shishi standing at the gate of Lixiangyuan with a group of maidservants, and said with a little embarrassment: "Old lady, why did you come in person? What's the matter? Send me away." It’s enough for people to come and call their son.”

Jia Shishi waved his hands and replied with a smile: "I am your own mother. I know that you are sick now, so how can I bother you? The left and right are not far away. I will arrive there when I walk slowly. The imperial physician also said, It's good for me to move around."

When Jia Zheng heard the words, it was all right, and invited Jia Shishi into the house for tea.

When the servants brought the tea, Jia Shishi waved away the waiter and said with a sigh: "Wang Shi, it's gone."

Jia Zheng was startled, and then burst into joy. He asked with a smile, "It's gone? How did it disappear? It can be seen that God has opened his eyes, and this poisonous woman is finally dead. Hahahahaha!"

Seeing the genuine smile on his face, Jia Shishi shuddered, and felt that this son was more and more strange.

Mrs. Wang has been married to Jia's family for more than [-] years, taking care of the family affairs for Jia Zheng's children and raising children, and doing everything properly inside and out.Even though he acted viciously and viciously, at the very beginning, the Wang family treated Jia Zheng and their children with all their heart and soul. Even if they ended up being imprisoned in the Buddhist hall, they still insisted on waiting until Yuanchun got married. Only then.But Jia Zheng really has no conjugal affection for Wang's first wife, and he is indifferent to the two children Yuanchun and Baoyu these days, and only cares about drinking to relieve boredom.

Comparing the hatchback, even though this is his own son, Jia Shi feels that Jia Zheng is too cold.

She thought so, and Wang Ziteng, who had just walked over from the yard, couldn't help but be even more angry.

Kicking open the door with a bang, Wang Ziteng grabbed Jia Zheng's collar and fell to the ground. Before Jia Shishi could recover, Jia Zheng was punched several times.

Wang Ziteng was born as a general. Apart from training in the barracks, he had to practice a set of boxing techniques every morning when he got up early.This lethality is not comparable to that old dude Jia She, of course, but with two punches, Jia Zheng vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, and then screamed like he was dead.

The servants who had retreated far outside suddenly trembled when they heard the inhuman howling, and no one dared to come in for a while to take a look.

Jia Shishi was just in a daze when he saw Wang Ziteng beat Jia Zheng half to death.

Wang Ziteng's fist was as big as a bowl head, and the muffled sound of punching to the flesh deterred Jia Shishi, a pampered old lady.She didn't dare to go forward, so she could only shout at the top of her voice: "Uncle Wang, what are you doing! You can't beat me any more, or you will die!"

"Come on, come on, call the Eldest Master and the Second Master Lian over here! Bring Baoyu here!"

Only then did the servants outside come to their senses, and hurriedly scattered to call for help, and a few brave ones rushed into the house.

Jia Shishi was stamping anxiously on the side, the crutches poked the ground with a loud sound, and Yuanyang and Amber supported her from left to right.There were also a few strong nuns who bravely stepped forward and hugged Wang Ziteng's legs, feet and arms, making him unable to do anything else.

"Quick, help the second master away!"

Jia Shishi shouted loudly, and two young servants serving Jia Zheng hurriedly lifted him up, and ran out of Lixiangyuan quickly, fearing that Wang Ziteng would follow him again.

This violent beating was originally done by Wang Ziteng on purpose.When he was in the small Buddhist hall, there was a burning anger in his heart, but his reason told him not to tear himself apart with the Jia family, so he forced himself to endure it.

But when he heard Jia Zheng's words through the door and window, his anger finally surpassed his reason. Wang Ziteng didn't want to bear it any longer.It's just that when Jia Zheng vomited blood, Wang Ziteng's sanity had returned, but since he had already made a move, there was no reason for him to stop.

Prince Teng waited for Jia Shishi to come to pull him, so he stopped his hand. Unexpectedly, Jia Shishi, who used to say "loves Jia Zheng the most", would treat his son like this, and would only shout at the side.Seeing this scene, Wang Ziteng naturally understood Jia Zheng's current status in Jia's family, so he took the opportunity to punch Jia Zheng a few more times, as if to vent his anger for his sister.

When the servants brought Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu and others over, Lixiangyuan had already recovered its calm.But the host, Jia Zheng, was nowhere to be seen. Only Jia Shishi and Wang Ziteng sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere in the room was very depressing.

"Hey, when did Brother Wang come, why didn't anyone tell me?" Jia Amnesty sat down next to Wang Ziteng and said carelessly, "I just got two jugs of fine wine and a beautiful woman Well, they are all very good things, let's have a drink or two later, and have fun."

Wang Ziteng didn't want to have fun with him, after all, he just killed his sister and beat her brother-in-law.

But he didn't reach out to hit the smiling face, Wang Ziteng still forced a smiling face: "Brother Enhou, you are welcome, I have something to do at home, I will go back now. When I am free in the future, I must meet Brother Enhou Swim with arms together, drink all night."

After all, he stretched out his hand and beckoned Jia Baoyu to come over, stroked Baoyu's hair, and couldn't help the redness of his eyes.From now on, this child Jia Baoyu has become a poor little child without the protection of his mother. I don't know if Jia Shishi and Jia Zheng can and will protect him well in this deep house.

Wang Ziteng sighed deeply, looked at Jia Lian and said earnestly: "Baoyu, he is just a child and doesn't understand everything, Lian'er, I hope you and Feng girl will take care of him more. Uncle, I am here, go ahead Thank you."

When Wang Ziteng said this, he stood up and bowed to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian hurriedly dodges away. In terms of age and seniority, Wang Ziteng is the elder.In terms of status and qualifications, Wang Ziteng is a first-rank official who is in charge of the imperial guards in the capital. This gift is really unacceptable to him.

"Uncle is serious. Baoyu is also my younger brother. Brother Feng and I watched him grow up. Naturally, no one will bully him. One more thing, there is still the old lady and the second master here, so you don't have to worry about it." this."

Jia Lian's words were tactful, but he was sincere, Jia Shishi alone could protect Jia Baoyu well.Not to mention that he and Wang Xifeng had never planned to attack Jia Baoyu.One is to accumulate blessings for future generations, and there is no need to attack a young child; second, Jia Baoyu is indeed pure and kind by nature, and has never actively harmed anyone in his past and present lives, and has never been an evil person.

In her previous life, Jia Baoyu had enjoyed the glory of the entire Jia family, but was also forced to bear the responsibility for the future of the Jia family.In this life, let him be a wealthy and idle person, and live a leisurely life.

What was going on in Jia Lian's mind, Wang Ziteng didn't know, but seeing his serious expression, he knew that what he just said was true.Wang Ziteng heaved a sigh of relief. After all, Jia Baoyu is young, so he will not pose a threat to Jia Lian at present, and the two families have separated. Strictly speaking, they are two families. As long as Jia Baoyu doesn't provoke deliberately, Jia Lian should not be The couple targeted.

After dealing with Jia She and his son, Wang Ziteng had no intention of staying any longer, turned to look at Jia Shishi, and said in a cold voice: "Old lady, that matter will be handled according to what we discussed earlier. Let's take a step first. Please find an imperial doctor to take a look at the injury of the second master of your mansion. If you need any medicinal materials, just go to Wang's house to find me, and leave!"

After finishing speaking, he nodded at Jia She and his son, then patted Jia Baoyu's head, and walked out of Pear Fragrance Garden.

Jia Shishi was so angry with him that he almost yelled at him, but he still had to hold back and said: "Lian'er, go and see off Uncle Wang."

Jia Lian obediently obediently agreed, chased after him quickly, and personally sent Wang Ziteng to the gate of Rongguo Mansion, and saw him get on his horse and go away, so he turned around and came back.

In Lixiang Courtyard, Jia Amnesty looked around and saw no figure of Jia Zheng, so he asked curiously: "Didn't you say that the second younger brother was paralyzed on the bed and couldn't move anymore? Xing? When the maids went to look for me, I thought I had misheard, that Wang Ziteng would attack the second child, and why?"

Seeing his gloating face, Jia Shishi felt powerless, but this person has spent most of his life in a mess, it is impossible to change now.

Jia Shishi supported his forehead with his hands, and said weakly: "This matter is due to the fault of the second child first, let alone mentioning it, since the boy of the Wang family is gone, you can go back too, you are not needed here."

Jia She curled his lips when he heard the words, and when there was something to do, he would call someone to come in a hurry, and if there was nothing to do, he would send him away with a few words.This is her own mother. If it were someone else, the master's brains could be punched out by others.

Jia Amnesty shook his head and left, leaving only Jia Shishi puzzled, feeling that things were getting more and more difficult.

At this moment, Yuanyang tiptoed in from the outside, whispered in Jia Shishi's ear, "Old lady, the second master's doctor saw it, and said there is something wrong, and I need your advice."

Jia Shishi shook her body when she heard the words, but stood up forcefully and walked out holding Yuanyang's hand: "What's wrong, tell me first."

Yuanyang hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Second Master's injury a few days ago has not recovered. According to Wang Taiyi's words, the few punches of Master Wang's family just now seem to have injured some tendons. Specifically, I I can’t explain it clearly, it just sounds a little tricky.”

Jia Shishi's heart was beating violently, but there was no sign on his face, he only quickened his pace and went to the small courtyard where Jia Zheng was currently living.

In the room, Imperial Physician Wang was giving Jia Zheng acupuncture and moxibustion. He looked at Jia Zheng with a bruised nose, swollen face, and injuries all over his body, and was quite curious.

After all, he is also the master of a big family, and he is in his own home. Who can beat him like this?

However, Imperial Physician Wang still has the professionalism that should be possessed. After finishing the acupuncture and moxibustion step by step, he adjusted the prescription and asked the maid to decoct the medicine. Then Imperial Physician Wang found a chair and sat down, waiting quietly for Jia Shishi to ask questions.

When Jia Shishi entered the room, looking at Jia Zheng grinning in pain, he felt more helpless than distressed.If he hadn't been too cold-hearted and angered Wang Ziteng with his unrestrained speech, today's beating would never have happened.

Jia Shishi looked away, looked at Imperial Physician Wang and said, "I'm going to trouble Imperial Physician Wang again, how is my son's injury?"

Imperial Physician Wang hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth: "The second master of your family has not recovered from his injuries, and now he is hit by external force, I am afraid that the root cause of the disease will really fall in the future."

"The root cause of the disease? What kind of disease root?" Jia Shishi was startled, and asked anxiously, "Could it be, could it be that it will leave a disability!"

Imperial Physician Wang nodded heavily, and said helplessly: "The injury to the right leg is particularly serious. Even if it is well maintained in the future, it will inevitably show a little when walking around. I hope the family will think about it earlier."

According to the practice of this court, except for generals who were injured on the battlefield, anyone with a disability is not allowed to enter the court as an official.

Therefore, if Jia Zheng really became disabled, his official career in this life would be reversed, and the fifth-rank member Wailang who is now working, might be kicked out in the next second.

As soon as Imperial Physician Wang said this, Jia Shishi fell on her back and passed out. Yuanyang didn't support her, so she could only follow her and fell to the ground to make a meat pad.

Fortunately, there were a lot of attendants around, and they helped Jia Shishi and Yuanyang to get up. Doctor Wang rushed forward to make a diagnosis and treatment. After a while, Jia Shishi woke up.
