The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

Not to mention how Jia Shishi and others asked about their health, and how Jia Lian acted coquettishly and foolishly, after all, the whole family enjoyed themselves for a long time, which is considered to be the best of fun.

Jia Lian, who was permitted by Jia Shishi to go back to the room, took Wang Xifeng, Brother Mao, and sister Qiao along with him. Jia Shishi and Mrs. Xing naturally knew each other, and asked Wang Xifeng not to serve at night, which made everyone laugh again. one game.

The family of four did not take the car, but walked slowly back to Zhaominghou Mansion.

Brother Mao knew that his father was tired, so he only said a few words with him, and then took sister Qiao to play by himself, leaving Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian to sit opposite each other.

"I asked someone to prepare hot water, and put medicinal herbs for relieving fatigue in it. Go take a hot bath first, and wash off the dust on your body." Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian's black eyes, and said with a little distress, " The black-bone chicken and red ginseng soup stewed in the small kitchen is almost ready, drink a bowl later, so that you can sleep well, it is serious."

But Jia Lian didn't want to leave, he enjoyed Wang Xifeng's distress a little bit rarely, endured it again and again, but still couldn't help holding him in his arms: "Feng'er loves me, I am very happy in my heart."

Wang Xifeng froze slightly, and struggled slightly, but did not break free.

She was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Don't let go, let the maids see the joke."

But Jia Lian tightened his arms: "Without a summons, who dares to enter the inner room at will? Besides, you and I are married, and we are in our own home, so there is nothing wrong. of."

Wang Xifeng saw that what he said was becoming more and more unbecoming, and she didn't want to bear him anymore, so she stepped on him hard, and stomped on him hard.Under the pain, Jia Lian also knew that the other party was annoyed, so he let go of his hand, touched his nose, and went to wash himself up without mentioning it.

Wang Xifeng waited until the person left, then snorted, and went straight out of the inner room to ask Jia Lian's personal servant.

"Second Master is always good outside, but the surveying of the railway track will inevitably involve crossing mountains and ridges. Sometimes it is unlucky, so we have to sleep in the wild, which is very hard. But grandma often sends people to send things over, and we are not stingy when we buy Money, it’s barely passable, it’s just that it’s more difficult in the wild.”

Wang Xifeng was silent after hearing this, and said for a long while: "You have worked hard with the second master. In the past few days, you will go home to make out with the old lady, and you don't have to come to the mansion to wait on you. Chunliu, reward them with 20 taels of silver each. Then I brought the silks and satins from the shop, divided them into two pieces for each person, and took them back to make clothes for my family."

When the young servants heard the words, they were all overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank them without mentioning it.

Jia Lian also came out from the other side, and Wang Xifeng personally took a handkerchief to wipe his hair, and asked the servant girl to serve ginseng soup and snacks.Jia Lian used it a little, but seeing that it was still early, he couldn't help but fell asleep.

"Second master wake up, at least eat dinner and then go to bed, save the sleepiness at night."

Jia Lian was woken up by Wang Xifeng in a daze. He opened his eyelids to look, and stretched out his hand to pull him into his arms: "I'm really sleepy. I spend most of my time in the wilderness these days, not to mention that I can't eat well. I can't sleep well, and those snakes, rats and ants are really annoying, I haven't had a good night's sleep for a long time."

Wang Xifeng's heart was sour, she stopped and leaned against Jia Lian's side, and said softly: "Now that I'm home, I can rest well, the old lady and the wife gave a few dishes, thinking about nourishing the second master Woolen cloth."

Jia Lian rubbed Wang Xifeng's hair, lay on the bed for a while, and then turned over, "I only ate a few pieces of snacks today, and the bowl of soup you ordered to cook, maybe I'm too hungry, now I don’t feel like I have any appetite.”

"It's just that I'm not hungry, just use some to accompany me and the children. If you are hungry and full, be careful not to hurt your spleen and stomach again. You will suffer a lot at that time."

Wang Xifeng helped him change his clothes, twisted a hot handkerchief to wipe his face, waited until everything was settled, and then called Maogeer and Qiaojieer to have dinner.

The two had been waiting in the side hall for a long time, and when they heard that the servant girl was coming to invite them, they quickly came hand in hand.

Brother Mao is getting old, and Jia Liansu's discipline is also strict. Although he misses his father, he dare not show it too much.On the other hand, Sister Qiao is a milk doll, wobbly and about to hug Jia Lian's thigh, she doesn't look afraid at all.

"Daddy, give Daddy a hug."

As soon as Jia Lian squeezed her hands, she hugged Miss Qiao on her lap, and asked her carefully how she was doing recently, what she had eaten when she got up early, whether she had a good rest in the afternoon, and so on.

Sister Qiao could answer some of them, but she didn't know what to say, and Brother Mao answered them one by one by helping her.When Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng saw that their siblings were very close, they couldn't help but feel happy again. They didn't ask a maid to serve them for a meal, and the whole family ate without mentioning it.

After dinner, Jia Lian checked Mao Geer's recent homework, and invited Mr. Bai to drink tea and talk with each other, and exchanged information about the past six months.Jia Lian went out for half a year, and the situation in Beijing and China was changing, relying on Mr. Bai and Lin Ruhai to strategize. Now that he finally came back, he had to distinguish clearly one by one, lest someone would take advantage of his loopholes and cause any trouble.

Jia Lian has been away from Beijing for a long time, and now when he comes back suddenly, old relatives and friends in Beijing will inevitably come to pay a visit or two.The Jia family and the Lin family are also related by marriage, and the juniors have always had a close relationship, so the fact that Lin Ruhai, Lin Dong and others met Jia Lian many times did not attract the attention of others.

It was getting hotter and hotter in June. After discussing with the Queen Mother, Situ Yao took all the concubines and princes, as well as princes and ministers and their families, to the Summer Resort.As Jia Lian is a celebrity in Beijing, his family members are naturally accompanying him.

In the past, when going to the Mountain Resort, one would rely on a horse-drawn carriage and it would take a few days to get there. Now that there is a train, it is much faster and takes half a day.Moreover, the train is stable, and it can transport thousands of people at a time, which is much stronger than in previous years, so more people go there than before.

Most of the people living in the summer resort are concubines in the harem, so it is not easy for the family members of princes and ministers to live there.Simply put, there are quite a lot of mountain villages nearby, and those with a little wealth and status in their families have bought houses nearby, but they don't have to worry about having nowhere to live.

Wang Xifeng is rich and powerful, and has Jia and Wang's family as backers. The villa she bought covers dozens of acres of land.During the period, there were mountains, rivers and lakes, and pavilions, terraces and pavilions were built according to the topography.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Jia Shi looked at it once, praised it again, and chose Songhetang to live in.

Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng both chose the place next to Songhe Hall for the convenience of serving them. Since everything in this village is well built, they would not be wronged to go there.On the contrary, Baoyu, Tanchun and other juniors, unlike the aunts and sisters-in-law at home, have to work hard all the time, but they can choose a place that is close to their eyes and live according to their own wishes.

The Lin family's house here also has more than ten acres of land. It is a Zhuangzi bought by the ancestors. Jia Min has already ordered people to rest for a while, and it is comfortable to live in.Moreover, the villages of the two families are not far away, and it only takes half an hour by carriage, so it is convenient for the two families to walk around and visit each other.

Mrs. Xie felt that she was old and didn't want to go back and forth, so she stayed at home to watch over her. Jia Min brought Mrs. Li, Lin Rou, Daiyu and others over.Firstly, it was to avoid the heat, the heat in the middle of the capital was really unbearable; secondly, Lin Rou was indeed already 13 years old, and she was fourteen years old, so she could consider talking about marriage.

It is indeed cool here, and after the heat is gone, people feel a little better.Not only are there often feasts and feasts in the palace, but the dignitaries outside the palace also often gather together, joking and joking.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian wanted to serve at present's side, Jia Min and Wang Xifeng had no such scruples, and Jia Shishi also knew that his children and grandchildren had work to do, so he didn't blindly hold people in front of him to flatter him, so he found his mother to play dominoes , but also happy.

The flower banquets and banquets are full of flowers and flowers every day. In such a cheerful atmosphere, Jia Min quietly arranged a marriage for Lin Rou.

Lin Rou is a concubine's daughter, and was not valued by Xie and Lin Qing earlier, so she was a little timid and timid. Although she was taught by Jia Min for half a year, she was still young and had little effect.Moreover, Lin Ruhai had already explained that she could not find a noble family, so when Jia Min chose a relative for her, he never set his sights on the noble family, but picked up those upstart families, or talented children from poor families. Look at each other.

The candidate chosen this time is also extremely coincidental, it is an example saved by Jia Lian in the early years.

Speaking of which, it was the year when Jia Min was seriously ill. On his way back to Beijing, Jia Lian happened to see a son being robbed by mountain bandits, so he helped him out.The surname of this candidate is Zhao, and his name is Zhao Duan. Coincidentally, this year, Chunwei won in one fell swoop, and he is still the No. 4 biography, which can be called a young talent.

Zhao Duan was originally from a farming family. There was only a widowed mother and elder sister in the family, and he lived on more than ten acres of land.His father died of illness when he was a teenager. The people of the family looked at the old and weak, women and children, and wanted to take away his family property. Fortunately, his mother's family was a butcher, with a large number of people and willing to stand up for his married daughter. lost family wealth.

Originally an innocent and carefree young man, after this sudden change, he devoted himself to studying hard. Fortunately, he was talented and intelligent, and passed the exam smoothly. Now he is only 19 years old.In the hundred years since the founding of the Dagan Kingdom, such a young Chuanlu can only be produced in two hands, which is very rare.

It's just that Zhao Duan's family background is poor after all, and there is a widowed mother and elder sister in the family. After thinking about it in the hearts of the nobles in Beijing, they couldn't help but hesitate for a while.Another Zhao Duan himself knows about his own family affairs. He has depended on his elder sister and mother for life since he was a child. It is thanks to the two of them doing their best to provide for him that he can be named on the gold list. Get in trouble with the elder sister.

But Lin Rou is fine, she is shy and not good at bullying others, so she probably won't show off to the Zhao family.In addition to Jia Lian's life-saving grace in the past, the Zhao family was very grateful to the Jia family for the sake of this. Lin Rou, as a cousin, should not be tortured, so it seems that it is the best of both worlds.

Because Wang Xifeng and Lin Rou are of the same generation, Jia Min specially invited Mrs. Xing to be a guarantor, and Zhao Duan also invited the head wife of a teacher's family to propose marriage, which gave Lin Rou enough face.

Because Zhao Duan is almost 20 years old, his mother is not in good health, and his eldest sister has wasted her youth, she finally followed her younger brother's title on the gold list and decided to marry at the end of this year.But in this way, the Zhao family will not have a housekeeper and director. Only relying on Zhao Duan and his mother may not be able to manage the housework well.

Therefore, after the two families discussed that special circumstances should be treated specially, they decided that Lin Rou should marry before Zhao's sister got married.It's just because she is young and her body has not yet grown up. The husband and wife need to live in separate rooms, and they will talk about other things after their 15th birthday.
