The Honest Man of the Red Chamber
Chapter 52
"Madam, what's the matter with you?"
Wang Guizhi was crying hard, when he suddenly heard this question with a crying sound, and seeing Li Wan's beautiful and elegant face, Fang turned around and realized that he was no longer the person who was wronged to death in that life, so he wiped away his tears. He smiled and said, "I just stood there for a while, and the sun is so big today, I'm afraid it's too hot, and I'm a little uncomfortable because of the heat. Your aunt is here, and I'm acting like a baby to her."
Mrs. Li smiled dryly, Li Wan was skeptical, "So that's the case, it's already this hour, why doesn't Madam prepare dinner?" There must be something else, but it's not convenient for Madam to tell because there are outsiders around.
"Yes, you're hungry. Let them cook!"
Both Wang Guizhi and Mrs. Li were waiting to wash with basin towels.
After washing, Wang Guizhi didn't let Li Wan stand up and set the rules, and the three of them ate together quietly. Hearing that the men were still having a banquet, he asked her to go back to rest by herself. She didn't have to come back when she woke up, and she went to take care of her and make arrangements. thing.
"What do you think is wrong? If you want to change it, just write it down. Later, we mothers and I will discuss it carefully and take it easy?" Li Wan asked some words, and then pulled Mrs. Li to tilt together, letting the colorful clouds and colorful clouds Moved the dining table to go out to eat, and everyone dispersed.
Wang Guizhi held Mrs. Li's hand, pointed to the medicinal ingredients on the prescription, and said, "Your body is exhausted. Not only do you need to take medicine, but you also have to eat on time. You should take care of yourself, what? There is no need to rush things. If you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of no firewood. When you think about children, you must first protect yourself, otherwise everyone will be in vain. If you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. If you are not here, big brother If you marry another one, you won't have children? Think about it for yourself, I won't help you after all, sister-in-law, you are more mature than me, don't you know what to do?"
"I don't know, it's just that my heart is really like frying and burning, and I can't calm down for a moment." Mrs. Li came to her senses, and she had nothing to say to her, "My family matters, are you I know, if I really want to say it, how dare I say it out, there is no guarantee that they will not bump into it at will, and I really can't keep a spark. But no one listens to my advice to my family, and I worry about them for nothing , They still feel that I don't care about it, that I have no conscience..."
The words in my heart can only be said to her, Mrs. Li continued, "Why don't I know that I will be raised, and the date of my menstruation is not sure, sometimes it's raining, sometimes it's not coming for a month or two. If it wasn't for this incident, I would have thought that I would have to invite a doctor to come back, have a good look at it, and breathe out. But who would have known that such a... thing would happen again." She will depose the prince with three words Said on the lips.
Seeing what she said, Wang Guizhi felt ashamed. She didn't know that Jia's family took what she said seriously. She thought that what she said had been suppressed long ago, and she had forgotten it. What should I do? good!
She said anxiously, "What could be the matter? You can think about it as much as you want. If there is nothing to do by then, wouldn't it be useless for you to worry about it and waste such energy." Also told!The wretch!
Mrs. Li wondered, "Sister, what else have you not told me? Why don't you tell me in detail? I will raise my hand and swear that I will never tell anyone else. If you pass it on to others, I will be gutted immediately. Eighteen layers of hell under the tongue after death."
"Oh, sister-in-law, don't talk to me." Wang Guizhi really didn't know what to say. She didn't know what the current court situation was. She knew that she was in the book "Dream of Red Mansions", and everything else was the memory given to her by Mrs. Wang.She thought hard, so she had to make up some words now, let her see a doctor, take medicine, and live in peace. With Mrs. Li around, Jia Amnesty would not be too nonsense. Besides, Jia's house is full of thousands of things, and she also has many arms. no?
But he didn't dare to speak carefully, and said vaguely, "Do you really listen to what I say? If you really listen, take good care of yourself."
"That's true!" Finally, someone answered, and with the truth, Mrs. Li believed her at first, so there was no reason not to listen.I came back to tell her some of my heartfelt thoughts, and I felt much happier.
"Since you really listened, I'll be blunt. Usually, those men don't allow us to show our faces in public, they only restrict us to the one-third of an acre of land at home, and there are other twists and turns. Why are you at this time Do you want to be stronger than those men? Who can control the affairs of the heavens? If you really want to ransack your family and exterminate your family, wouldn’t it be clean for us to hang ourselves with a rope? Since they won’t let you take care of it, you have to throw it away Hand, do you think it makes sense? You just want to take care of it, who can you take care of? Why don’t you take care of your own man first, and enjoy yourself.” Wang Guizhi persuaded that only the old lady can take care of Jia Amnesty, but the old man The wife has always been a kind person, regardless of the things in the sons' house.
Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment. No one had ever said such a thing to her before, "How can you control me? Three obediences and four virtues are not stubborn."
"That depends on your means. There are ways to follow the four virtues again and again. I think you have the ability, sister-in-law. You can't continue to indulge the old man if you think about brother Lian. I don't know anything else. I just know that the old man always I like fresh colors. Every year, I buy that little show with both color and art. There are several personal maids who buy it from Tianxin. Disrespect, you have no brilliance on your face. These girls, the old man has been doing it for a while, and it’s nothing to put them in your house. It's brother Lian's money, and how much trouble you have caused yourself all day long. You feel uncomfortable seeing them, and they feel sorry for themselves. Such old people want to fight for a man, and they are locked in a small room. Too lonely, how can your mind not be crooked after a long time? If you discuss it with your master, those who bought it, let them go if they want to go, and you want to keep it, you also gather it into your own hands. Arrangement In the future, if you become more sexually like an emperor and make a green card, let the old man order it, without making any noise, you will be clean."
"You cunning ghost! Why don't you make this for your master?" Mrs. Li listened to Zhile and went to tickle her itch.
Wang Guizhi hid his smile and said, "When someone advises you, you scratch me?" If Jia Zheng was like this, he would have already scolded him to "fork him out".He is a stubborn bull, as long as he is willing, otherwise don't think about forcing him to submit.
Seeing that she was pregnant, she only had fun for a while before stopping, "Since this is the case, I will not choose children from the family in the future. Although they know their roots, they have connections and relatives in the mansion, so it is not easy to control them. Buying some poor and poor girls who can’t afford to eat outside is worth only a dozen taels of silver for a lifetime, which is not as clean as going to those places, and the cost is less than a few thousand taels.” When Mrs. Li was told by her, she had a lot of ideas and came here immediately idea.
Wang Guizhi sighed, I don't know what to do with this, the innocent girl I bought became my aunt again, but I can eat first to survive, "That's all right, only two are allowed every year, so as not to empty the master's body, Lian My brother is still young. Whether it’s you, the mother, or the elder, you have to lay some foundation for the child first, right? Both the elder and our master are able to be officials because of the kindness of their ancestors, but we What can I leave for the children?" She half sneered, "Don't tell me, just wait for the old man to die, and let brother Lian take up the post of the last third general."
Mrs. Li blushed when she was told, "I will teach him how to study in the future."
"Books should be read. Studying history can make people understand knowledge, and tasting poetry can make people understand love. But our Jia family has two families, and it's good that the emperor is still there. If the new emperor... I'm afraid we will have to settle old scores. We have a huge deficit waiting to be reckoned." Wang Guizhi thought of the reasons why Jia's family lost power and fell to the ground analyzed in Hongxue. , Let them install a fat job in the rich weaving place, just to make up for it. When it came to Yongzheng, he couldn't tolerate these things.The household department owed money, and in the face of natural disasters, he really ransacked the house to fill it... If it is inferred from this situation, the debt from the house raid may be on the concubine Yuan's relatives, but she didn't want to send Yuan Chun into the palace, it's not Very scared.
Mrs. Li only thought that after being educated, the prince will be deposed again, and it will definitely not work.It seems that the Wang family already knew who the next Allah is, so they asked more humbly, "How can I pay back the money?"
It turns out that there is really money owed!
Wang Guizhi was startled, but his face didn't show, "Our family has never picked up the driver, so what's the debt?"
"When Mr. Rong Guogong of our family went, he only asked the household department to borrow 2 taels. When I received the donation, I had seen this bet. I don't know about the previous ones." Mrs. Li thought, " I reckon, there must always be 10 taels." She didn't care too much, "It's okay, everyone borrows, and our family borrows very little, like the Zhen family in Jiangnan, that borrows a lot. "
"... 10 taels!" Wang Guizhi sighed in his heart. After three years of clearing the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, after all, the family still needs an official to fill in the hole.Her face is hot again, so she is no different from Jia Yucun, and it is better to do business.
"We can't take care of other people's homes, we just need to take care of our own homes."
10 taels is not too much. After all, there are still ten years left, and it is enough to save 1 taels a year. He replied, "In the future, my sister-in-law will only take care of the house, and save what can be saved. There are still some disadvantages. , you can't be lazy, you have to change what should be changed, and if you want to change it, just change it, you don't care, how can Brother Lian expect you. "
Mrs. Li listened to them one by one, and after a while, the medicine boiled in the tea room was also available, and she drank it all in one gulp before going back.
Wang Guizhi stood at the door to see her off, Madam Li stopped and said emotionally, "My sister is so considerate of me, I will never forget it."
"Don't say such things again. I just excused that I would take anti-fetal medicine. You greeted the old lady every day, and then you took the medicine at my place and then went back. It was clean and safe, and no one would know there."
The nanny knelt on the ground, kowtowed respectfully to Wang Guizhi three times before chasing after Mrs. Li's sedan chair.
"My God, I finally left." Caixia helped Wang Guizhi back into the house. Seeing that her face was fine, she felt a little relieved. , you embrace it too! I don’t know, I thought you were the housekeeper’s grandma.”
Wang Guizhi felt, "If you help her easily, you will accumulate good fortune and virtue for yourself. This is better than copying some scriptures and turning some paper money." If it can really save her life, that would be even better.With her around, Jia Amnesty would not want to marry a mandarin duck, nor would he want to beat Jia Lian if he wanted to make a fan. With his own mother here, I guarantee that Mrs. Li will be as bad as Mrs. Wang saving Baoyu in the book.
"Hey, my wife is so kind." Caiyun's words were sincere, and when she thought that the eldest wife had unknowingly given birth to a child, she would cry for her. I was dragged to death without knowing what was going on.
"You are not allowed to tell the truth. If anyone dares to tell the eldest lady secretly, I will tear your mouths apart." Wang Guizhi reminded, Wang Taiyi is used to seeing it, and she doesn't talk too much. Madam Li, she herself doesn't know. She has never seen those around her, so naturally she is not afraid.As long as everyone in her house keeps the secret, no one will know.From now on, even if I know that Mrs. Li is taking medicine with her, it can also be inferred that it is a tonic. Otherwise, if a child is gone, it will be difficult for the old lady to say, and she must feel uncomfortable in her heart. .
For several days in a row, Mrs. Li invited Mother Jia to greet her, and found an opportunity to come to Wang Guizhi to take medicine. The two talked and laughed, and discussed how to do things at home before returning.
Mrs. Li had taken the medicine for most of her heart disease, and she was in much better spirits.The first thing is to use Jiamu's birthday to match some aunts and girls who are restless and always have troubles, give them away, and give them away, and don't keep them at all, and give them another 20 taels of silver. Find a way to live by yourself.The room for Jia She was cleaned up all of a sudden, what's even more rare is that Jia She didn't seem to care at all, leaving Mrs. Li to do so.
Lin Hai, who was temporarily staying in the Jia Amnesty Court, couldn't help but wonder, "The eldest sister-in-law kicked out all your people, why does the elder brother want to change his mind, and want to learn from the mountains and learn with me, so as to cultivate himself?"
Jia Amnesty's face flushed slightly, and he was not annoyed at being teased so innocuously.In front of my brother and brother-in-law, I didn't hide it, twitched my beard and said, "I'm old, there are more than a dozen people in the room, and she suddenly said the day before yesterday that she wanted to meet everyone, but she couldn't even stand up. She said it was really ugly, asked If I have someone I love, I will keep it if I have one, and if I don’t have her, I will deal with it, and then I will give it to me in exchange for a good one, and I will accept it.”
"I didn't expect that I didn't leave any of them for my elder brother! Hahaha!" Lin Hai took a fan and slapped his hands, "It seems that my sister-in-law's trick is so good that I let my elder brother carelessly miss Jingzhou."
Jia Zheng's heart skipped a beat, feeling that something was wrong.Although he was busy, occasionally when he went back to Mrs. Wang's room, he could smell a smell of medicine that could not be suppressed by burning incense. The lady said that she was taking the Thirteen Taibao, but there was no smell of medicine in her mouth...
"Hey, it's okay. Although she cleaned it up, she also hired a lot of people and brought some girls back for me to choose. I spotted two, and I bought them and waited for her to teach them to make them more tender. Just show me your face." Jia She said frankly, those Yingyingyanyans are just playthings, Madam doesn't like them, she must be upset by making too much noise.Now that she gave him fresh ones again, even if she didn't have any of the ones that were cleared all at once before, she had discussed it with him in advance, and didn't care about it again, but it really seemed that he was a big man who was stingy.If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come.
This was different from what Lin Hai and Jia Zheng had in mind, so the two missed the point.
"As soon as the old lady's birthday banquet is over, the second elder brother is going to Jinling? Forgive me for not being able to accompany you." Lin Hai apologized, and he had to wait for Qiuxia to enter.
Jia Zheng hurriedly said, "The imperial examination in autumn is the way to go. I just go to buy some fields for sacrifice with my family. When the time comes, brother Zhen from Dongfu will also go, and my ineffective Zhuer will follow me to see it. He said to Jia She again, "Speaking of this matter, I don't know if Big Brother and Big Brother Jing have discussed who will take over this year and next year?"
"My family recommends Grandpa Jia Dairu. His seniority is high and knowledgeable, and his son is weak. No one is different. It's just that the old lady is not sure about these sacrifices to the fields. If she arranges people casually, she may not be able to suppress them." Stay, I'm feeling a little worried."
In fact, the money was paid by people from Ningrong and Rongfu. If it was all cheaper than the Jia clan in other houses, Jia Amnesty felt uncomfortable. He discussed with Jia Jing in private, why not put Jia Zhen in his hometown to take care of it first It is reasonable to take care of it for a year and a half, promote Mi En, fight Mi Qiu, and only divide it into one or two.Jia Zhen happened to be in mourning, so she could also avoid the affairs of the capital. No matter how important the event was, she would not be afraid of the future. He guarded his wife for a while, and it would be cheaper to discuss marriage.
Jia Zheng frowned and thought about it for a while, recalling Jia Zhen's sudden reluctance, he was [-]% certain in his heart, and smiled, "I'm just asking for nothing, anyway, I'm listening, brothers just take orders. "
Lin Hai didn't make a sound after eating tea, which has nothing to do with him, so it's inconvenient to say more.He knew about it, but my brother-in-law didn't hide it from him.I think it's good for the Jia family to plan like this, but it's hard for them to still have plans for future generations at this time.If he is able in the future, he should also leave this inheritance for his children.
When mentioning the child, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. He didn't know his wife's heart disease. It's not that he didn't think about the child's success, but the Lin family has never had many children.Maybe he is the same, but Min'er is a little dazed by this matter, if not, every three years when she goes to Beijing to rush for the exam, she gradually doesn't like to go to her house, because she sees her nephew and niece hurting others.But the children are all a gift from God, if she really can't, as long as she likes it, she can choose one of those offspring to adopt.
When he came back to his senses, Jia Amnesty had already mentioned the opera repertoire on his birthday, "The Xiaosheng who sang opera a few days ago was good, and he sang the song Shuangliyan..."
But Jia Zheng said badly, "The song is good, but the meaning is not good. The old lady celebrates her birthday, so it's better to sing something lively and consummate."
"That's right." Jia She nodded, and asked again, "Except for our Jia family, your sister-in-law and younger siblings who sent the post have made arrangements, and you have to guard against some uninvited guests. There are already two extra tables. , when the time comes, the male guest, you two will accompany you."
"Yes."
On the first day of the eighth lunar month, lanterns and festoons were hung in the Ningrong and Rong mansions, phoenixes were displayed on the screen, and hibiscus were placed on the mattress.Jia Jing and Jia Amnesty first led the family members of Jia's family to kowtow to Jia's mother to celebrate her birthday. Some royals, sons-in-law, princes, princesses, princesses, princesses, concubines, monarchs, and wives, etc., sent birthday gifts to those who came or did not. There was an endless stream of people carrying boxes, and the big table in Rongqing hall was covered with red carpet, and some exquisite, ingenious and precious things were placed on it, and Jia Mu was invited to have a look.
On the second day of the junior high school, the Duke of the Family Jiao ordered the Princesses of Nan'an and Beijing to come and meet for a while. The King of Beijing, the King of Nan'an, and the son-in-law of Yongchang were all accompanied by Jia Jing, Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen to play and sit at the table.
On the third day of junior high school, the Ministry of Rites also had the old rule of rewards. Mother Jia led the whole family to receive the offerings, and there were guests, who only went to the hall to pay respects. , or Rongfu listening to books, it's no problem.
Only one person was personally welcomed by Wang Guizhi to rest in his room, and that was Wang Ziteng's wife Feng Zhenlan.
"Although Guiyue is dangerous and the wind spring is empty, my sister-in-law has been pregnant for two days in a row, but it's too hard!" Wang Guizhi took a fan from them and fanned Feng Zhenlan. The pregnant woman was already irritable. There are still beads of sweat on the tip of her nose at this moment.
Seeing that she was well-behaved and soft-spoken, Feng Zhenlan didn't think about her arrogance of sending secrets to her family, nor her urgency of being so shallow-sighted that she couldn't understand the news.She would have come earlier, if the master hadn't been afraid that people would be misunderstood by giving gifts for nothing, she would have come to talk to her a long time ago.
She smiled and held Wang Guizhi's hand, "The old lady's birthday, although it's not a whole birthday, but you are her daughter-in-law, why don't I come to support you. How are you, how is your pregnancy?" What's delicious, I think it's because I missed the dishes when I was a child during my pregnancy, so I asked someone to bring the food box that Lao Xiao made in the kitchen.
"Try it and see if it tastes what you want."
Feng Lanzhen said one thing in Wang's house, no matter how gentle she is at this time, there is a sense of majesty on her face, and she is more charming than Jia Mu. I made several dishes, delicious, salty and sweet, really delicious, "That's what I think, how does my sister-in-law know that I want to eat these?"
"I don't know, but how can the nanny who took care of you not know? Seeing you, I really want to, I brought Lao Xiao too, and let him take care of you for a few months." Feng Zhenlan thought about what the master said. Saying my sister-in-law's words brought endless help and benefits, and she didn't want to give what she wanted was cheap, and she didn't need a half-cook to cook, so it doesn't matter if you give her dragon liver and phoenix gall.
Wang Guizhi originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought about what she wanted, his brothers and sisters-in-law were eager to send it. If she didn't want it, it would really refute their good intentions. In the future, she would think of them, so she nodded with a smile, "Caixia, You only ask them to clean up a small kitchen, and say that I set it up alone. Once the expenses are allocated from my share, my original dishes in the big kitchen will be temporarily suspended, and they will serve the old ladies and gentlemen wholeheartedly. "
Feng Zhenlan sounded a little wrong, "What is your original allowance, but if you add someone else, you have to pay less." She twitched her eyebrows, and the people around Wang Guizhi pulled the people around to retreat, "Are you short of expenses? Don’t be too strict about food and clothing. After all, the daughter of our Wang family should have her own style. Here is 1 taels, and you can use it.” She has a mother-in-law on her head, and a sister-in-law who is a housekeeper, married to the second wife Jia Zhengguan Not too much, even if there are some etiquettes, the water consumption of Cao regulations, salt regulations and customs regulations is only more than ten thousand taels.
The master said, my sister wants to listen to the news and win people's hearts, so she doesn't need money anywhere, so she should not only give generous gifts, but also give some money.She also thought so, if it wasn't for the inconvenience of paying more cash at this moment recently, she would be able to afford [-] more.
"No, no, no, no!" Wang Guizhi hurriedly pushed her away. All her food and clothing expenses were spent on business trips, and she also had 20 taels per month. If she didn't go out, she had nowhere to spend money. Right now, all the cash in the box was returned. There are 500 taels.
Feng Zhenlan saw that she was sincerely giving in, so she put on a straight face, "Why, I don't want the money from my sister-in-law, but I have to ask for the money from my own men, so I have to ask my brother to give it to you!"
I have never seen someone who gives money back so generously that they have to force people to take it. Wang Guizhi really didn't know that there was such a custom in ancient times. She was told that, so she had no choice but to accept it, but only put it on the table. Another thing was mentioned, "I want to open a tavern recently, my sister-in-law said yes?"
"Why did you think of this? You can drive it if you want. Wherever you want to go, but Mao'er Alley, or the side of Yuhulu Road." Feng Zhenlan saw that she had picked it up, and let her lean back on the pillow. Pregnant people leaning together talking.
These two places are either rich or expensive, so it is easy to choose a place, Wang Guizhi is not that big of a heart, "I want Brother Zhu to practice and practice, and he will choose the address first."
"That's also good. When the time comes, you can ask Brother Zhu to come. I'll give him two posts to keep. If someone doesn't have eyes and makes trouble, I'll let him take it to the Nine Provinces Yamen. Someone will help him." Cooking." Feng Zhenlan said bluntly.
No wonder Wang Xifeng in the book is not afraid of lawsuits at all, Wang Guizhi pouted and half nestled into Feng Zhenlan's arms, "Brother's post is very useful, I'm just afraid that I will take my brother's post for any trivial matter Now, it seems that my brother is very domineering and has no one in his eyes. Brother Zhu has also developed a bad habit of not paying attention to anything. If a flagpole is shot down in the capital, there may be a prince What about the master. If some people with some martial arts skills retired from the army, my sister-in-law asked my brother to send two to follow Brother Zhu, and it would be fine if I didn’t suffer a big loss. People like us are not really afraid of causing trouble , It’s really making a fuss, and I have my own theory.”
Thinking that her eldest sister was always entangled with her like this, but recently learned the rules to get married, but she didn't seem so intimate, Feng Zhenlan pinched her noodle lightly, she doesn't like to cause trouble, this is her own It's her advantage, "You have a clever tongue, and what you say makes sense, it's up to you, I'll have someone bring the post for you to keep, don't let it be used casually."
"Yeah." Wang Guizhi responded sweetly, "I heard that the eldest sister is going to marry, but which one is good? My sister-in-law hasn't said yet, but our Wang family still has a girl who hasn't promised anyone." Wang Guizhi grew up I hope that my sister can be like Feng Zhenlan, now that she has got her wish, she wants to get closer to her even more.
Feng Zhenlan put her hand on her stomach, "Here, isn't it? I'm probably pregnant with one." The two laughed for a while, then Fang said, "Your elder sister's family was chosen by your elder brother. Okay. My elder brother also has a daughter, who is only six or seven years old. Don’t you know how much my sister-in-law spoils me? There are so many good things that are begged for, and her daughter is the one to choose first, and her son is all over the place. No one in the clan can compete with her. Fortunately, she is small, but she looks cute. She is a small person, but she speaks smartly. I only saw After a while, I don’t think it’s annoying, it’s a pain in the ass.”
Wang Guizhi thought about the demeanor of Sister Feng that he had seen in the play. Such a beautiful snake-like character really made people love and hate, "Can someone teach you how to behave?"
"She doesn't need it. Eldest brother has no job and is not on the selection list." Feng Zhenlan said here, "You want to propose marriage to her, that's great. It just so happens that there is no one in Jinling that my sister-in-law likes. She has long wanted to wait until If Brother Feng grows older, he will be sent to us to be educated, and then we will be able to choose a relative."
She was afraid that she would really become this pair of enemies as soon as she opened her mouth, so Wang Guizhi didn't say anything seriously, "I just saw a young man not long ago, who looked like a fairy, and I was very happy to see Lie Xin, and I wanted to ask if there was any suitable age at home Girl, if you don't have one, let it be."
Feng Yuzhen didn't take it to heart, "Aunt Xue has a daughter, but she's too young, so I can't wait for it. Let's just forget about it. There are thousands of men in the world, and there is always a good daughter waiting for our family. "
"That's right." Wang Guizhi saw that the branch was gone, thinking about the source of the ingredients, and asked again, "Sister-in-law, I want to open some restaurants that are different from others. Our family greeted you before, and we are not people who pay tribute to foreign countries. Do you know each other? Are there any spices on those foreign ships and foreign goods that are different from our own country?"
"I don't know this. If you want to know, I will ask that person to answer you when the time comes." Feng Zhenlan didn't care about this, but when she saw Wang Guizhi, her eyes brightened and her cheeks flushed with joy, she said cheerfully, "You If you have anything else to ask me, I’ll tell you everything, and I’ll see if I can answer, and I’ll do it for you.”
"Oh, my good sister-in-law, I want to give you an account, which is called "responsiveness!" Wang Guizhi felt that there was nothing more joyful than this.
"Okay, tell me quickly, or you will have to let your husband do what you ask for when you leave later." Feng Zhenlan laughed.
"I've already troubled my sister-in-law with two things..."
"Those are nothing, you can just talk about it." Feng Zhenlan interrupted Wang Guizhi.
Wang Guizhi hurriedly continued, "That will save me a lot of effort. I want to choose a team of people, and follow these people who have seen foreign things or traveled around to see around, and buy some new and unique things. "
"You want to get some salt in exchange for making money?" Feng Zhenlan was surprised.
Wang Guizhi shook his head like a rattling drum, "No, I don't want that, what do I want that for! Sister-in-law, please don't get me wrong, I just heard that one place of Fengshui raises one person, and the cuisines of different places are different. I think Taste those different flavors. Since I can’t get out, I want someone to look for them. But no one is leading them, bumping around like headless flies. Even when I reach the boundary, I don’t know where to go. A thieves and gangsters have harmed people for no reason, so I asked my brother if there are old people who have retired to accompany them. They understand the world and go south or go north. Maybe once or twice a year, I will give them money Get some..."
"That's all, it's not for salt, what kind of thing is worth it for you to say such a long talk." Feng Zhenlan smiled, "I know you want to share with your brother, those old people, since you If you can order them like this, I will send them to you first, and if they are disobedient and disobedient, you can send them back to me." She tapped her forehead with her hand, "Small slicker, if you have such a good idea, don't I know." Except for the master himself, those officials are extremely restless, so they are assigned errands to make a living by themselves, lest they always say that they will grow maggots if they stay in the mansion.
???
She just wanted some veterans to form a food shopping team with people from Jia's house, so why is it a good idea to share with her brother?
Wang Guizhi was confused, Feng Zhenlan clapped her hands lightly, and the maids brought something to clean their faces and even make up, so they had to put this question mark in their hearts, and asked Caifeng to take her box of rouge. Made by Taobao, "Sister-in-law uses this rouge finger. I watched the flowers in the house bloom well. I and the girls in the house selected good-colored rouge and wrung out the juice. It was steamed and stacked with fresh flower dew. The smell is clean and sweet, just take a little hairpin and hydrate it with water to smear it on."
"What you said is so good, I'll give it a try." Feng Zhenlan pulled out a jade ear from her head and dug some out, applied it on her lips, licked it lightly with the tip of her tongue, and spread it evenly with her fingers. It was really bright and unusual, very It looked good, so she asked the girl to take the magnolia box, "That's right, just give it to me."
Seeing that she has something she likes, Wang Guizhi is too happy, "I will make other colors and send them to my sister-in-law in the future."
"Just use it for fun, don't get tired." Feng Zhenlan finished tidying up, her red lips were like flames, her phoenix eyes slightly raised, she left holding the girl's hand.
Wang Guizhi turned around and went back to the house, and saw that Caixia, Caiyun and Caifeng were either busy writing things and making books, or ordering the little girl to put such things there, and put those things there, she was very busy, she didn't want to be disturbed, So she asked a little girl, "Where is the eldest girl?" She had been visiting for several days, but she didn't say a few words to the little girl.
The little girl didn't know, so she found someone to go back and forth.
"The old lady said she was tired of resting. The eldest girl followed Aunt Lin to meet the old man. They all said that the eldest girl of our family was born beautifully and on a good day. Many wives asked." Zizi was proud, "I said that the eldest sister has a beautiful appearance, a gentle temper, and a warm and cheerful smile, and I can't praise it very much."
When a child is praised, there is nothing unhappy about being a mother. Wang Guizhi is also happy, "See how good this nanny can talk, and reward her." She rubbed her belly and looked at the sun outside. Willing to move around, "Grandma, take it and don't drink, and then watch and wait for the elder sister to come back before going to the house to have fun."
The old lady happily accepted the purse and nodded in agreement.
In the evening, under the rosy clouds, Jia Zheng was half-drunk and carried back. He walked to the second gate and was helped into the house by a woman and a girl.Seeing that he smelled of alcohol, Wang Guizhi covered his nose with a handkerchief, and just sat on the side urging them to quickly pour him hangover soup, change his clothes and rinse his mouth, "Hurry up, let them bring water to bathe the master."
"What are you doing sitting so far away! Come here quickly!" Jia Zheng, who asked Wang Guizhi to wipe his hair with a towel after taking a shower, said suddenly. What a little girl, is he a ghost?sit that far?
Wang Guizhi saw that his jacket was open and his hair was loose, like a famous gentleman in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, his heart beat wildly, "I don't, you are so drunk."
"Huh?" Although Jia Zheng was drunk and reacted slowly, he could sense her resistance, "Come here, don't you dare to be disobedient?" He ate two bowls of hangover soup, and he pretended to be drunk even more , I didn't drink much at all.
Wang Guizhi didn't want to mess around with the drunk, so he had to move a few more steps, and he was still four steps away from him, "Quickly lean, sleep well, and you'll feel comfortable when you wake up."
Caixia brought the sober stones, but Jia Zheng only took the box, "You all go down." He waved to Wang Guizhi, "Come quickly and give me some."
Wang Guizhi smiled and squeezed his eyes and refused, "It's not that the master has no hands, what he is holding is not right!"
Jia Zheng made a gesture to stand up and grab her, "You can't make it through!"
"... Open your mouth." Wang Guizhi couldn't help him, so he could only rub against him and picked up the sober stone in the box, and wanted to feed it into his mouth so that he could hangover, but he pushed it back and stuffed it into her mouth again. Holding her down, he wrapped the stone away with his tongue.
After coming and going, Wang Guizhi's cheeks were flushed, and he murmured, more like the one who drank wine, "I'm going to die, you're messing with me after drinking."
Jia Zheng asked her to lean on him, unloaded all the things from her head all over the couch, and used his hand as a comb, "Honestly tell me, what did you and the eldest lady do without telling us?" Biting her ear, she said, "I know you didn't take that medicine, and my sister-in-law didn't take any kind of medicine for health."
Wang Guizhi pursed his lips, "I didn't think I could hide it. Did you ask Doctor Wang?"
"He doesn't know how to talk. He walks in and out of the palace, and his mouth is very tight." Jia Zheng denied, and he stretched out his hand to help her gently rub her slightly swollen chest, "He told me, you You have to get angry? Why, where are you holding your breath?"
"Everyone loves me, whoever makes me angry
Wang Guizhi was crying hard, when he suddenly heard this question with a crying sound, and seeing Li Wan's beautiful and elegant face, Fang turned around and realized that he was no longer the person who was wronged to death in that life, so he wiped away his tears. He smiled and said, "I just stood there for a while, and the sun is so big today, I'm afraid it's too hot, and I'm a little uncomfortable because of the heat. Your aunt is here, and I'm acting like a baby to her."
Mrs. Li smiled dryly, Li Wan was skeptical, "So that's the case, it's already this hour, why doesn't Madam prepare dinner?" There must be something else, but it's not convenient for Madam to tell because there are outsiders around.
"Yes, you're hungry. Let them cook!"
Both Wang Guizhi and Mrs. Li were waiting to wash with basin towels.
After washing, Wang Guizhi didn't let Li Wan stand up and set the rules, and the three of them ate together quietly. Hearing that the men were still having a banquet, he asked her to go back to rest by herself. She didn't have to come back when she woke up, and she went to take care of her and make arrangements. thing.
"What do you think is wrong? If you want to change it, just write it down. Later, we mothers and I will discuss it carefully and take it easy?" Li Wan asked some words, and then pulled Mrs. Li to tilt together, letting the colorful clouds and colorful clouds Moved the dining table to go out to eat, and everyone dispersed.
Wang Guizhi held Mrs. Li's hand, pointed to the medicinal ingredients on the prescription, and said, "Your body is exhausted. Not only do you need to take medicine, but you also have to eat on time. You should take care of yourself, what? There is no need to rush things. If you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of no firewood. When you think about children, you must first protect yourself, otherwise everyone will be in vain. If you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. If you are not here, big brother If you marry another one, you won't have children? Think about it for yourself, I won't help you after all, sister-in-law, you are more mature than me, don't you know what to do?"
"I don't know, it's just that my heart is really like frying and burning, and I can't calm down for a moment." Mrs. Li came to her senses, and she had nothing to say to her, "My family matters, are you I know, if I really want to say it, how dare I say it out, there is no guarantee that they will not bump into it at will, and I really can't keep a spark. But no one listens to my advice to my family, and I worry about them for nothing , They still feel that I don't care about it, that I have no conscience..."
The words in my heart can only be said to her, Mrs. Li continued, "Why don't I know that I will be raised, and the date of my menstruation is not sure, sometimes it's raining, sometimes it's not coming for a month or two. If it wasn't for this incident, I would have thought that I would have to invite a doctor to come back, have a good look at it, and breathe out. But who would have known that such a... thing would happen again." She will depose the prince with three words Said on the lips.
Seeing what she said, Wang Guizhi felt ashamed. She didn't know that Jia's family took what she said seriously. She thought that what she said had been suppressed long ago, and she had forgotten it. What should I do? good!
She said anxiously, "What could be the matter? You can think about it as much as you want. If there is nothing to do by then, wouldn't it be useless for you to worry about it and waste such energy." Also told!The wretch!
Mrs. Li wondered, "Sister, what else have you not told me? Why don't you tell me in detail? I will raise my hand and swear that I will never tell anyone else. If you pass it on to others, I will be gutted immediately. Eighteen layers of hell under the tongue after death."
"Oh, sister-in-law, don't talk to me." Wang Guizhi really didn't know what to say. She didn't know what the current court situation was. She knew that she was in the book "Dream of Red Mansions", and everything else was the memory given to her by Mrs. Wang.She thought hard, so she had to make up some words now, let her see a doctor, take medicine, and live in peace. With Mrs. Li around, Jia Amnesty would not be too nonsense. Besides, Jia's house is full of thousands of things, and she also has many arms. no?
But he didn't dare to speak carefully, and said vaguely, "Do you really listen to what I say? If you really listen, take good care of yourself."
"That's true!" Finally, someone answered, and with the truth, Mrs. Li believed her at first, so there was no reason not to listen.I came back to tell her some of my heartfelt thoughts, and I felt much happier.
"Since you really listened, I'll be blunt. Usually, those men don't allow us to show our faces in public, they only restrict us to the one-third of an acre of land at home, and there are other twists and turns. Why are you at this time Do you want to be stronger than those men? Who can control the affairs of the heavens? If you really want to ransack your family and exterminate your family, wouldn’t it be clean for us to hang ourselves with a rope? Since they won’t let you take care of it, you have to throw it away Hand, do you think it makes sense? You just want to take care of it, who can you take care of? Why don’t you take care of your own man first, and enjoy yourself.” Wang Guizhi persuaded that only the old lady can take care of Jia Amnesty, but the old man The wife has always been a kind person, regardless of the things in the sons' house.
Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment. No one had ever said such a thing to her before, "How can you control me? Three obediences and four virtues are not stubborn."
"That depends on your means. There are ways to follow the four virtues again and again. I think you have the ability, sister-in-law. You can't continue to indulge the old man if you think about brother Lian. I don't know anything else. I just know that the old man always I like fresh colors. Every year, I buy that little show with both color and art. There are several personal maids who buy it from Tianxin. Disrespect, you have no brilliance on your face. These girls, the old man has been doing it for a while, and it’s nothing to put them in your house. It's brother Lian's money, and how much trouble you have caused yourself all day long. You feel uncomfortable seeing them, and they feel sorry for themselves. Such old people want to fight for a man, and they are locked in a small room. Too lonely, how can your mind not be crooked after a long time? If you discuss it with your master, those who bought it, let them go if they want to go, and you want to keep it, you also gather it into your own hands. Arrangement In the future, if you become more sexually like an emperor and make a green card, let the old man order it, without making any noise, you will be clean."
"You cunning ghost! Why don't you make this for your master?" Mrs. Li listened to Zhile and went to tickle her itch.
Wang Guizhi hid his smile and said, "When someone advises you, you scratch me?" If Jia Zheng was like this, he would have already scolded him to "fork him out".He is a stubborn bull, as long as he is willing, otherwise don't think about forcing him to submit.
Seeing that she was pregnant, she only had fun for a while before stopping, "Since this is the case, I will not choose children from the family in the future. Although they know their roots, they have connections and relatives in the mansion, so it is not easy to control them. Buying some poor and poor girls who can’t afford to eat outside is worth only a dozen taels of silver for a lifetime, which is not as clean as going to those places, and the cost is less than a few thousand taels.” When Mrs. Li was told by her, she had a lot of ideas and came here immediately idea.
Wang Guizhi sighed, I don't know what to do with this, the innocent girl I bought became my aunt again, but I can eat first to survive, "That's all right, only two are allowed every year, so as not to empty the master's body, Lian My brother is still young. Whether it’s you, the mother, or the elder, you have to lay some foundation for the child first, right? Both the elder and our master are able to be officials because of the kindness of their ancestors, but we What can I leave for the children?" She half sneered, "Don't tell me, just wait for the old man to die, and let brother Lian take up the post of the last third general."
Mrs. Li blushed when she was told, "I will teach him how to study in the future."
"Books should be read. Studying history can make people understand knowledge, and tasting poetry can make people understand love. But our Jia family has two families, and it's good that the emperor is still there. If the new emperor... I'm afraid we will have to settle old scores. We have a huge deficit waiting to be reckoned." Wang Guizhi thought of the reasons why Jia's family lost power and fell to the ground analyzed in Hongxue. , Let them install a fat job in the rich weaving place, just to make up for it. When it came to Yongzheng, he couldn't tolerate these things.The household department owed money, and in the face of natural disasters, he really ransacked the house to fill it... If it is inferred from this situation, the debt from the house raid may be on the concubine Yuan's relatives, but she didn't want to send Yuan Chun into the palace, it's not Very scared.
Mrs. Li only thought that after being educated, the prince will be deposed again, and it will definitely not work.It seems that the Wang family already knew who the next Allah is, so they asked more humbly, "How can I pay back the money?"
It turns out that there is really money owed!
Wang Guizhi was startled, but his face didn't show, "Our family has never picked up the driver, so what's the debt?"
"When Mr. Rong Guogong of our family went, he only asked the household department to borrow 2 taels. When I received the donation, I had seen this bet. I don't know about the previous ones." Mrs. Li thought, " I reckon, there must always be 10 taels." She didn't care too much, "It's okay, everyone borrows, and our family borrows very little, like the Zhen family in Jiangnan, that borrows a lot. "
"... 10 taels!" Wang Guizhi sighed in his heart. After three years of clearing the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, after all, the family still needs an official to fill in the hole.Her face is hot again, so she is no different from Jia Yucun, and it is better to do business.
"We can't take care of other people's homes, we just need to take care of our own homes."
10 taels is not too much. After all, there are still ten years left, and it is enough to save 1 taels a year. He replied, "In the future, my sister-in-law will only take care of the house, and save what can be saved. There are still some disadvantages. , you can't be lazy, you have to change what should be changed, and if you want to change it, just change it, you don't care, how can Brother Lian expect you. "
Mrs. Li listened to them one by one, and after a while, the medicine boiled in the tea room was also available, and she drank it all in one gulp before going back.
Wang Guizhi stood at the door to see her off, Madam Li stopped and said emotionally, "My sister is so considerate of me, I will never forget it."
"Don't say such things again. I just excused that I would take anti-fetal medicine. You greeted the old lady every day, and then you took the medicine at my place and then went back. It was clean and safe, and no one would know there."
The nanny knelt on the ground, kowtowed respectfully to Wang Guizhi three times before chasing after Mrs. Li's sedan chair.
"My God, I finally left." Caixia helped Wang Guizhi back into the house. Seeing that her face was fine, she felt a little relieved. , you embrace it too! I don’t know, I thought you were the housekeeper’s grandma.”
Wang Guizhi felt, "If you help her easily, you will accumulate good fortune and virtue for yourself. This is better than copying some scriptures and turning some paper money." If it can really save her life, that would be even better.With her around, Jia Amnesty would not want to marry a mandarin duck, nor would he want to beat Jia Lian if he wanted to make a fan. With his own mother here, I guarantee that Mrs. Li will be as bad as Mrs. Wang saving Baoyu in the book.
"Hey, my wife is so kind." Caiyun's words were sincere, and when she thought that the eldest wife had unknowingly given birth to a child, she would cry for her. I was dragged to death without knowing what was going on.
"You are not allowed to tell the truth. If anyone dares to tell the eldest lady secretly, I will tear your mouths apart." Wang Guizhi reminded, Wang Taiyi is used to seeing it, and she doesn't talk too much. Madam Li, she herself doesn't know. She has never seen those around her, so naturally she is not afraid.As long as everyone in her house keeps the secret, no one will know.From now on, even if I know that Mrs. Li is taking medicine with her, it can also be inferred that it is a tonic. Otherwise, if a child is gone, it will be difficult for the old lady to say, and she must feel uncomfortable in her heart. .
For several days in a row, Mrs. Li invited Mother Jia to greet her, and found an opportunity to come to Wang Guizhi to take medicine. The two talked and laughed, and discussed how to do things at home before returning.
Mrs. Li had taken the medicine for most of her heart disease, and she was in much better spirits.The first thing is to use Jiamu's birthday to match some aunts and girls who are restless and always have troubles, give them away, and give them away, and don't keep them at all, and give them another 20 taels of silver. Find a way to live by yourself.The room for Jia She was cleaned up all of a sudden, what's even more rare is that Jia She didn't seem to care at all, leaving Mrs. Li to do so.
Lin Hai, who was temporarily staying in the Jia Amnesty Court, couldn't help but wonder, "The eldest sister-in-law kicked out all your people, why does the elder brother want to change his mind, and want to learn from the mountains and learn with me, so as to cultivate himself?"
Jia Amnesty's face flushed slightly, and he was not annoyed at being teased so innocuously.In front of my brother and brother-in-law, I didn't hide it, twitched my beard and said, "I'm old, there are more than a dozen people in the room, and she suddenly said the day before yesterday that she wanted to meet everyone, but she couldn't even stand up. She said it was really ugly, asked If I have someone I love, I will keep it if I have one, and if I don’t have her, I will deal with it, and then I will give it to me in exchange for a good one, and I will accept it.”
"I didn't expect that I didn't leave any of them for my elder brother! Hahaha!" Lin Hai took a fan and slapped his hands, "It seems that my sister-in-law's trick is so good that I let my elder brother carelessly miss Jingzhou."
Jia Zheng's heart skipped a beat, feeling that something was wrong.Although he was busy, occasionally when he went back to Mrs. Wang's room, he could smell a smell of medicine that could not be suppressed by burning incense. The lady said that she was taking the Thirteen Taibao, but there was no smell of medicine in her mouth...
"Hey, it's okay. Although she cleaned it up, she also hired a lot of people and brought some girls back for me to choose. I spotted two, and I bought them and waited for her to teach them to make them more tender. Just show me your face." Jia She said frankly, those Yingyingyanyans are just playthings, Madam doesn't like them, she must be upset by making too much noise.Now that she gave him fresh ones again, even if she didn't have any of the ones that were cleared all at once before, she had discussed it with him in advance, and didn't care about it again, but it really seemed that he was a big man who was stingy.If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come.
This was different from what Lin Hai and Jia Zheng had in mind, so the two missed the point.
"As soon as the old lady's birthday banquet is over, the second elder brother is going to Jinling? Forgive me for not being able to accompany you." Lin Hai apologized, and he had to wait for Qiuxia to enter.
Jia Zheng hurriedly said, "The imperial examination in autumn is the way to go. I just go to buy some fields for sacrifice with my family. When the time comes, brother Zhen from Dongfu will also go, and my ineffective Zhuer will follow me to see it. He said to Jia She again, "Speaking of this matter, I don't know if Big Brother and Big Brother Jing have discussed who will take over this year and next year?"
"My family recommends Grandpa Jia Dairu. His seniority is high and knowledgeable, and his son is weak. No one is different. It's just that the old lady is not sure about these sacrifices to the fields. If she arranges people casually, she may not be able to suppress them." Stay, I'm feeling a little worried."
In fact, the money was paid by people from Ningrong and Rongfu. If it was all cheaper than the Jia clan in other houses, Jia Amnesty felt uncomfortable. He discussed with Jia Jing in private, why not put Jia Zhen in his hometown to take care of it first It is reasonable to take care of it for a year and a half, promote Mi En, fight Mi Qiu, and only divide it into one or two.Jia Zhen happened to be in mourning, so she could also avoid the affairs of the capital. No matter how important the event was, she would not be afraid of the future. He guarded his wife for a while, and it would be cheaper to discuss marriage.
Jia Zheng frowned and thought about it for a while, recalling Jia Zhen's sudden reluctance, he was [-]% certain in his heart, and smiled, "I'm just asking for nothing, anyway, I'm listening, brothers just take orders. "
Lin Hai didn't make a sound after eating tea, which has nothing to do with him, so it's inconvenient to say more.He knew about it, but my brother-in-law didn't hide it from him.I think it's good for the Jia family to plan like this, but it's hard for them to still have plans for future generations at this time.If he is able in the future, he should also leave this inheritance for his children.
When mentioning the child, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. He didn't know his wife's heart disease. It's not that he didn't think about the child's success, but the Lin family has never had many children.Maybe he is the same, but Min'er is a little dazed by this matter, if not, every three years when she goes to Beijing to rush for the exam, she gradually doesn't like to go to her house, because she sees her nephew and niece hurting others.But the children are all a gift from God, if she really can't, as long as she likes it, she can choose one of those offspring to adopt.
When he came back to his senses, Jia Amnesty had already mentioned the opera repertoire on his birthday, "The Xiaosheng who sang opera a few days ago was good, and he sang the song Shuangliyan..."
But Jia Zheng said badly, "The song is good, but the meaning is not good. The old lady celebrates her birthday, so it's better to sing something lively and consummate."
"That's right." Jia She nodded, and asked again, "Except for our Jia family, your sister-in-law and younger siblings who sent the post have made arrangements, and you have to guard against some uninvited guests. There are already two extra tables. , when the time comes, the male guest, you two will accompany you."
"Yes."
On the first day of the eighth lunar month, lanterns and festoons were hung in the Ningrong and Rong mansions, phoenixes were displayed on the screen, and hibiscus were placed on the mattress.Jia Jing and Jia Amnesty first led the family members of Jia's family to kowtow to Jia's mother to celebrate her birthday. Some royals, sons-in-law, princes, princesses, princesses, princesses, concubines, monarchs, and wives, etc., sent birthday gifts to those who came or did not. There was an endless stream of people carrying boxes, and the big table in Rongqing hall was covered with red carpet, and some exquisite, ingenious and precious things were placed on it, and Jia Mu was invited to have a look.
On the second day of the junior high school, the Duke of the Family Jiao ordered the Princesses of Nan'an and Beijing to come and meet for a while. The King of Beijing, the King of Nan'an, and the son-in-law of Yongchang were all accompanied by Jia Jing, Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen to play and sit at the table.
On the third day of junior high school, the Ministry of Rites also had the old rule of rewards. Mother Jia led the whole family to receive the offerings, and there were guests, who only went to the hall to pay respects. , or Rongfu listening to books, it's no problem.
Only one person was personally welcomed by Wang Guizhi to rest in his room, and that was Wang Ziteng's wife Feng Zhenlan.
"Although Guiyue is dangerous and the wind spring is empty, my sister-in-law has been pregnant for two days in a row, but it's too hard!" Wang Guizhi took a fan from them and fanned Feng Zhenlan. The pregnant woman was already irritable. There are still beads of sweat on the tip of her nose at this moment.
Seeing that she was well-behaved and soft-spoken, Feng Zhenlan didn't think about her arrogance of sending secrets to her family, nor her urgency of being so shallow-sighted that she couldn't understand the news.She would have come earlier, if the master hadn't been afraid that people would be misunderstood by giving gifts for nothing, she would have come to talk to her a long time ago.
She smiled and held Wang Guizhi's hand, "The old lady's birthday, although it's not a whole birthday, but you are her daughter-in-law, why don't I come to support you. How are you, how is your pregnancy?" What's delicious, I think it's because I missed the dishes when I was a child during my pregnancy, so I asked someone to bring the food box that Lao Xiao made in the kitchen.
"Try it and see if it tastes what you want."
Feng Lanzhen said one thing in Wang's house, no matter how gentle she is at this time, there is a sense of majesty on her face, and she is more charming than Jia Mu. I made several dishes, delicious, salty and sweet, really delicious, "That's what I think, how does my sister-in-law know that I want to eat these?"
"I don't know, but how can the nanny who took care of you not know? Seeing you, I really want to, I brought Lao Xiao too, and let him take care of you for a few months." Feng Zhenlan thought about what the master said. Saying my sister-in-law's words brought endless help and benefits, and she didn't want to give what she wanted was cheap, and she didn't need a half-cook to cook, so it doesn't matter if you give her dragon liver and phoenix gall.
Wang Guizhi originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought about what she wanted, his brothers and sisters-in-law were eager to send it. If she didn't want it, it would really refute their good intentions. In the future, she would think of them, so she nodded with a smile, "Caixia, You only ask them to clean up a small kitchen, and say that I set it up alone. Once the expenses are allocated from my share, my original dishes in the big kitchen will be temporarily suspended, and they will serve the old ladies and gentlemen wholeheartedly. "
Feng Zhenlan sounded a little wrong, "What is your original allowance, but if you add someone else, you have to pay less." She twitched her eyebrows, and the people around Wang Guizhi pulled the people around to retreat, "Are you short of expenses? Don’t be too strict about food and clothing. After all, the daughter of our Wang family should have her own style. Here is 1 taels, and you can use it.” She has a mother-in-law on her head, and a sister-in-law who is a housekeeper, married to the second wife Jia Zhengguan Not too much, even if there are some etiquettes, the water consumption of Cao regulations, salt regulations and customs regulations is only more than ten thousand taels.
The master said, my sister wants to listen to the news and win people's hearts, so she doesn't need money anywhere, so she should not only give generous gifts, but also give some money.She also thought so, if it wasn't for the inconvenience of paying more cash at this moment recently, she would be able to afford [-] more.
"No, no, no, no!" Wang Guizhi hurriedly pushed her away. All her food and clothing expenses were spent on business trips, and she also had 20 taels per month. If she didn't go out, she had nowhere to spend money. Right now, all the cash in the box was returned. There are 500 taels.
Feng Zhenlan saw that she was sincerely giving in, so she put on a straight face, "Why, I don't want the money from my sister-in-law, but I have to ask for the money from my own men, so I have to ask my brother to give it to you!"
I have never seen someone who gives money back so generously that they have to force people to take it. Wang Guizhi really didn't know that there was such a custom in ancient times. She was told that, so she had no choice but to accept it, but only put it on the table. Another thing was mentioned, "I want to open a tavern recently, my sister-in-law said yes?"
"Why did you think of this? You can drive it if you want. Wherever you want to go, but Mao'er Alley, or the side of Yuhulu Road." Feng Zhenlan saw that she had picked it up, and let her lean back on the pillow. Pregnant people leaning together talking.
These two places are either rich or expensive, so it is easy to choose a place, Wang Guizhi is not that big of a heart, "I want Brother Zhu to practice and practice, and he will choose the address first."
"That's also good. When the time comes, you can ask Brother Zhu to come. I'll give him two posts to keep. If someone doesn't have eyes and makes trouble, I'll let him take it to the Nine Provinces Yamen. Someone will help him." Cooking." Feng Zhenlan said bluntly.
No wonder Wang Xifeng in the book is not afraid of lawsuits at all, Wang Guizhi pouted and half nestled into Feng Zhenlan's arms, "Brother's post is very useful, I'm just afraid that I will take my brother's post for any trivial matter Now, it seems that my brother is very domineering and has no one in his eyes. Brother Zhu has also developed a bad habit of not paying attention to anything. If a flagpole is shot down in the capital, there may be a prince What about the master. If some people with some martial arts skills retired from the army, my sister-in-law asked my brother to send two to follow Brother Zhu, and it would be fine if I didn’t suffer a big loss. People like us are not really afraid of causing trouble , It’s really making a fuss, and I have my own theory.”
Thinking that her eldest sister was always entangled with her like this, but recently learned the rules to get married, but she didn't seem so intimate, Feng Zhenlan pinched her noodle lightly, she doesn't like to cause trouble, this is her own It's her advantage, "You have a clever tongue, and what you say makes sense, it's up to you, I'll have someone bring the post for you to keep, don't let it be used casually."
"Yeah." Wang Guizhi responded sweetly, "I heard that the eldest sister is going to marry, but which one is good? My sister-in-law hasn't said yet, but our Wang family still has a girl who hasn't promised anyone." Wang Guizhi grew up I hope that my sister can be like Feng Zhenlan, now that she has got her wish, she wants to get closer to her even more.
Feng Zhenlan put her hand on her stomach, "Here, isn't it? I'm probably pregnant with one." The two laughed for a while, then Fang said, "Your elder sister's family was chosen by your elder brother. Okay. My elder brother also has a daughter, who is only six or seven years old. Don’t you know how much my sister-in-law spoils me? There are so many good things that are begged for, and her daughter is the one to choose first, and her son is all over the place. No one in the clan can compete with her. Fortunately, she is small, but she looks cute. She is a small person, but she speaks smartly. I only saw After a while, I don’t think it’s annoying, it’s a pain in the ass.”
Wang Guizhi thought about the demeanor of Sister Feng that he had seen in the play. Such a beautiful snake-like character really made people love and hate, "Can someone teach you how to behave?"
"She doesn't need it. Eldest brother has no job and is not on the selection list." Feng Zhenlan said here, "You want to propose marriage to her, that's great. It just so happens that there is no one in Jinling that my sister-in-law likes. She has long wanted to wait until If Brother Feng grows older, he will be sent to us to be educated, and then we will be able to choose a relative."
She was afraid that she would really become this pair of enemies as soon as she opened her mouth, so Wang Guizhi didn't say anything seriously, "I just saw a young man not long ago, who looked like a fairy, and I was very happy to see Lie Xin, and I wanted to ask if there was any suitable age at home Girl, if you don't have one, let it be."
Feng Yuzhen didn't take it to heart, "Aunt Xue has a daughter, but she's too young, so I can't wait for it. Let's just forget about it. There are thousands of men in the world, and there is always a good daughter waiting for our family. "
"That's right." Wang Guizhi saw that the branch was gone, thinking about the source of the ingredients, and asked again, "Sister-in-law, I want to open some restaurants that are different from others. Our family greeted you before, and we are not people who pay tribute to foreign countries. Do you know each other? Are there any spices on those foreign ships and foreign goods that are different from our own country?"
"I don't know this. If you want to know, I will ask that person to answer you when the time comes." Feng Zhenlan didn't care about this, but when she saw Wang Guizhi, her eyes brightened and her cheeks flushed with joy, she said cheerfully, "You If you have anything else to ask me, I’ll tell you everything, and I’ll see if I can answer, and I’ll do it for you.”
"Oh, my good sister-in-law, I want to give you an account, which is called "responsiveness!" Wang Guizhi felt that there was nothing more joyful than this.
"Okay, tell me quickly, or you will have to let your husband do what you ask for when you leave later." Feng Zhenlan laughed.
"I've already troubled my sister-in-law with two things..."
"Those are nothing, you can just talk about it." Feng Zhenlan interrupted Wang Guizhi.
Wang Guizhi hurriedly continued, "That will save me a lot of effort. I want to choose a team of people, and follow these people who have seen foreign things or traveled around to see around, and buy some new and unique things. "
"You want to get some salt in exchange for making money?" Feng Zhenlan was surprised.
Wang Guizhi shook his head like a rattling drum, "No, I don't want that, what do I want that for! Sister-in-law, please don't get me wrong, I just heard that one place of Fengshui raises one person, and the cuisines of different places are different. I think Taste those different flavors. Since I can’t get out, I want someone to look for them. But no one is leading them, bumping around like headless flies. Even when I reach the boundary, I don’t know where to go. A thieves and gangsters have harmed people for no reason, so I asked my brother if there are old people who have retired to accompany them. They understand the world and go south or go north. Maybe once or twice a year, I will give them money Get some..."
"That's all, it's not for salt, what kind of thing is worth it for you to say such a long talk." Feng Zhenlan smiled, "I know you want to share with your brother, those old people, since you If you can order them like this, I will send them to you first, and if they are disobedient and disobedient, you can send them back to me." She tapped her forehead with her hand, "Small slicker, if you have such a good idea, don't I know." Except for the master himself, those officials are extremely restless, so they are assigned errands to make a living by themselves, lest they always say that they will grow maggots if they stay in the mansion.
???
She just wanted some veterans to form a food shopping team with people from Jia's house, so why is it a good idea to share with her brother?
Wang Guizhi was confused, Feng Zhenlan clapped her hands lightly, and the maids brought something to clean their faces and even make up, so they had to put this question mark in their hearts, and asked Caifeng to take her box of rouge. Made by Taobao, "Sister-in-law uses this rouge finger. I watched the flowers in the house bloom well. I and the girls in the house selected good-colored rouge and wrung out the juice. It was steamed and stacked with fresh flower dew. The smell is clean and sweet, just take a little hairpin and hydrate it with water to smear it on."
"What you said is so good, I'll give it a try." Feng Zhenlan pulled out a jade ear from her head and dug some out, applied it on her lips, licked it lightly with the tip of her tongue, and spread it evenly with her fingers. It was really bright and unusual, very It looked good, so she asked the girl to take the magnolia box, "That's right, just give it to me."
Seeing that she has something she likes, Wang Guizhi is too happy, "I will make other colors and send them to my sister-in-law in the future."
"Just use it for fun, don't get tired." Feng Zhenlan finished tidying up, her red lips were like flames, her phoenix eyes slightly raised, she left holding the girl's hand.
Wang Guizhi turned around and went back to the house, and saw that Caixia, Caiyun and Caifeng were either busy writing things and making books, or ordering the little girl to put such things there, and put those things there, she was very busy, she didn't want to be disturbed, So she asked a little girl, "Where is the eldest girl?" She had been visiting for several days, but she didn't say a few words to the little girl.
The little girl didn't know, so she found someone to go back and forth.
"The old lady said she was tired of resting. The eldest girl followed Aunt Lin to meet the old man. They all said that the eldest girl of our family was born beautifully and on a good day. Many wives asked." Zizi was proud, "I said that the eldest sister has a beautiful appearance, a gentle temper, and a warm and cheerful smile, and I can't praise it very much."
When a child is praised, there is nothing unhappy about being a mother. Wang Guizhi is also happy, "See how good this nanny can talk, and reward her." She rubbed her belly and looked at the sun outside. Willing to move around, "Grandma, take it and don't drink, and then watch and wait for the elder sister to come back before going to the house to have fun."
The old lady happily accepted the purse and nodded in agreement.
In the evening, under the rosy clouds, Jia Zheng was half-drunk and carried back. He walked to the second gate and was helped into the house by a woman and a girl.Seeing that he smelled of alcohol, Wang Guizhi covered his nose with a handkerchief, and just sat on the side urging them to quickly pour him hangover soup, change his clothes and rinse his mouth, "Hurry up, let them bring water to bathe the master."
"What are you doing sitting so far away! Come here quickly!" Jia Zheng, who asked Wang Guizhi to wipe his hair with a towel after taking a shower, said suddenly. What a little girl, is he a ghost?sit that far?
Wang Guizhi saw that his jacket was open and his hair was loose, like a famous gentleman in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, his heart beat wildly, "I don't, you are so drunk."
"Huh?" Although Jia Zheng was drunk and reacted slowly, he could sense her resistance, "Come here, don't you dare to be disobedient?" He ate two bowls of hangover soup, and he pretended to be drunk even more , I didn't drink much at all.
Wang Guizhi didn't want to mess around with the drunk, so he had to move a few more steps, and he was still four steps away from him, "Quickly lean, sleep well, and you'll feel comfortable when you wake up."
Caixia brought the sober stones, but Jia Zheng only took the box, "You all go down." He waved to Wang Guizhi, "Come quickly and give me some."
Wang Guizhi smiled and squeezed his eyes and refused, "It's not that the master has no hands, what he is holding is not right!"
Jia Zheng made a gesture to stand up and grab her, "You can't make it through!"
"... Open your mouth." Wang Guizhi couldn't help him, so he could only rub against him and picked up the sober stone in the box, and wanted to feed it into his mouth so that he could hangover, but he pushed it back and stuffed it into her mouth again. Holding her down, he wrapped the stone away with his tongue.
After coming and going, Wang Guizhi's cheeks were flushed, and he murmured, more like the one who drank wine, "I'm going to die, you're messing with me after drinking."
Jia Zheng asked her to lean on him, unloaded all the things from her head all over the couch, and used his hand as a comb, "Honestly tell me, what did you and the eldest lady do without telling us?" Biting her ear, she said, "I know you didn't take that medicine, and my sister-in-law didn't take any kind of medicine for health."
Wang Guizhi pursed his lips, "I didn't think I could hide it. Did you ask Doctor Wang?"
"He doesn't know how to talk. He walks in and out of the palace, and his mouth is very tight." Jia Zheng denied, and he stretched out his hand to help her gently rub her slightly swollen chest, "He told me, you You have to get angry? Why, where are you holding your breath?"
"Everyone loves me, whoever makes me angry
