[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

"Mom, if I leave, you will be the only one at home, why not go with me, just to relax."

It is impossible for Baochai to patronize her to go back to her mother's house, but leave the old lady alone, so she warmly invites her to go out together.

The old lady was reluctant to leave home, and she was also afraid of the heat, so she refused: "When the time comes, let your brother pick you up, and you take Chao'er with you, and I won't go there. I'm old and I don't want to move. My grandson is not at home, so I can rest for a day. My wife, don't be offended."

Xue smiled all over her face: "The old lady is still young. Taking care of children is hard work, and the old lady should take care of herself. Don't worry, you old man, Pan'er will not only come to pick you up, but also take care of the mother and child. , and hand it over to your old man, this is the end of the matter."

"Then I'm relieved, but I have to trouble Master Xue again."

"Brothers and sisters, this is as it should be."

Xue and Baochai agreed to come and pick her up the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then they sat down again before going home.

On that day, Xue Pan invited a sedan chair over early in the morning, Baochai washed and dressed properly, and then went to the main courtyard to bid farewell to the old lady.

Since Chao'er was born, this was the first time that the old lady was separated from her precious grandson. Although it was only half a day, the old lady couldn't bear it, her eyes seemed to be red.

Seeing her like this, Baochai said, "Mother, why don't we go together, let's sit down and come back quickly."

The old lady really doesn't like to socialize, and she was able to talk to Mrs. Xue because Mrs. Xue lived in Jia's house for a long time, so she got to know each other so well, and she got along much more comfortably. Now that Mrs. Xue has guests, the old lady has gone It is inevitable to cheer up and entertain.

So, after thinking for a while, she shook her head and said, "No, I'll wait for you mother and son to come back at home."

Baochai couldn't force her, so she promised to come back after lunch, and asked Yuhuan and Yuxi to take good care of her, and then went out with her son in a sedan chair and returned to her mother's house.

……

Mrs. Zhen arrived in the capital two days ago. She didn't plan to come. Although she only has a daughter like Xiangling, her daughter is married. As long as she lives well, it doesn't matter if she sees her or not.

Suddenly received a letter from the capital saying that Xiangling was pregnant. Mrs. Zhen thought about it, summoned up the greatest courage in her life, and proposed to her eldest brother that she wanted to come to the capital to visit her daughter.

After Xiangling's father Zhen Shiyin became a monk, there were no men and no children in the family. It was very inconvenient for Mrs. Zhen to live alone. Gradually, the idlers in the village bullied her family and came to make trouble day and night. Mrs. Zhen did not There was no other way, so I had to pack up my parcel and go to my natal family.

Mrs. Zhen also has two older brothers. The eldest brother, Feng Guang, lives in a neighboring village. He has been married for a long time and has four sons and one daughter. Became the door-to-door son-in-law.

Feng Su is a complete snob, he values ​​money more than his eyeballs, he never cares about those false names, he thinks that only what he holds in his hands is real, so he doesn't mind his youngest son giving money to him. People do door-to-door son-in-law.Some villagers laughed at him, but he was rather complacent, thinking that the owner of the grocer worked hard all his life, and in the end the family property he won became the property of the Feng family.

As the eldest son, Feng Guang inherited the house and land of the family, and at the same time took on the responsibility of providing for his parents. Mrs. Zhen went to join him. Although she was her own sister, Feng Guang didn't say anything, but she still felt a little disgusted. of.

Behind his back, Feng Su persuaded him: "No matter what, she is my daughter. Her family is already in that state. Can we still drive her away? Don't look at your sister's bad luck. She also has a house and a field in her hand. He is a hardworking person, he usually sews and mends, and he can also do some needlework to support the family, you can't lose."

The house and field in Mrs. Zhen's hands were bought by her own father from Zhen Shiyin's half-earned money. The house is a rotten house, and the field is Susukida, which is not worth much money.

Feng Guang's temperament is exactly the same as that of Feng Su's, even the blue is better than the blue.Not only does he like money, but he also pays attention to his reputation. After all, he has four sons and a daughter. If he doesn't care about his sister, he will definitely make the villagers gossip. He has no choice but to admit this trouble with his nose.

Turning around, Feng Su went to persuade his daughter: "You have no husband and no children. In the future, you will have to rely on your four nephews to take care of your old age. In my opinion, you might as well hand over all the things you have in your hands." Here you go, brother, what do you think?"

It's also a coincidence that Mrs. Zhen's temperament is exactly the same as her daughter Xiangling's, and they are all submissive. What else can she say when her father talks about this?

Besides, she didn't just stay at her mother's house for a day or two this trip, but she wanted to live there for a long time. How could she not bow her head under the eaves, so Mrs. Zhen handed over all her house and land to Feng Guang. , let him deal with it, and he will never ask again.

Mrs. Zhen is a hard-working person, she had no choice but to go back to her natal family, and she felt ashamed in her heart, so she didn't need to be ordered to do things at all, and together with the only servant cook in the Feng family, she took care of the house neatly.

The generous gifts Xue Pan sent before and the 100 taels of silver naturally all went into Feng Guang's pocket, and Mrs. Zhen just sat aside for a while, wiping her tears and sighing: "As long as Xiangling marries well, I will marry you." That's enough."

With such a windfall, Feng Guang looked at his sister with warmth in his eyes: "I see that the Xue family is also a wealthy family, otherwise how could they afford such a generous gift? Why are you crying? This is a good thing .”

Later, when Mrs. Zhen proposed to visit her daughter in Beijing, Feng Guang did not agree at first, because the mountains are long and the rivers are far away, and the journey will cost a lot of money. Later, his wife persuaded him: "It is better to let my sister go. , fulfilling the love of mother and daughter in this scene."

When Feng Guang's youngest daughter, Feng Wanrong heard that she was going to the capital, she pestered her parents for several days: "Father, I also want to go to the capital to broaden my horizons. How boring it is for my aunt to travel alone. I won't let you go with me." It's the same."

Mrs. Feng quit now: "Your father fell in love with the family introduced by your second uncle, and he plans to get engaged to you in the next year. What a big girl is running around all day long. Besides, I don't worry about such a long distance. You stay at home obediently and are not allowed to go anywhere."

Feng Wanrong immediately pouted her mouth high, hanging a bottle of oil would not fall off.

Feng Guang glanced at his daughter and had another plan in his heart.

He dispatched Wanrong first, and then discussed with his wife: "I have inquired about it. If you go on the road with the convoy of the commercial company, you only need a dozen taels of travel expenses, plus a few taels of silver for food money along the way. That's enough. Sigh, My sister cries at home every day, and I can't bear to see it. My poor niece was kidnapped by kidnappers at the age of three. I don't know how much she has suffered in these years. My sister will definitely come back empty-handed Besides, although the family introduced by my second brother is better than the people in the village, it is not what I want. The Xue family lives in the capital, and the people they know are not much better than those in the town? Wanrong's visit is not only to see the world, but My niece can introduce her to a good family in the capital..."

Mrs. Feng's heart moved: "Is it safe to follow the caravan?"

"How can it be unsafe? You only think of your daughter as a treasure. The goods they escorted are worth hundreds of taels. A special group of guards is hired, which is much safer than traveling by yourself!"

Mrs. Feng didn't refute any more, she acquiesced in this matter, and then told her daughter that she had agreed to go to the capital, but didn't say anything else.

Turning around, Mrs. Feng whispered to Mrs. Zhen: "...that's what your elder brother means. None of us has been to the capital, and we don't know what's going on with our niece over there. If you go and ask her in private, you'll be fine. It's a family, if Wanrong can really marry in the capital, the niece will be considered as an extra companion, so she won't be alone, and no one will help her if she is bullied by her in-laws."

For Feng Guang and his wife, one of them has always acted as a black face and the other as a red face. Feng Guang is the black face, and his wife is the red face, so Mrs. Zhen has a good impression of this sister-in-law.

Mrs. Zhen has lived in the eldest brother's house for so many years, and the sister-in-law neither beats nor scolds her. Sometimes Feng Guang shows her face to her sister, and Mrs. Feng even helps to persuade her.

It's rare for my sister-in-law to ask for something, how could Mrs. Zhen have the nerve to refuse?Immediately, he promised: "Sister-in-law, just don't worry, although Xiangling left my side at the age of three, I know that the daughter I gave birth to has the same temperament as me. If there is no good one, that's all. If there is, I will definitely introduce it to Wanrong. "

"Oh, my sister, I'm really touched when you say this. When you first came to our house, your elder brother was not very happy, so I just said him. My sister is such a good person, but it's a pity that her life is not good. It's a family, how can we not help? Look, now Wanrong is relying on you, sister."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhen was also very moved, and at the same time felt a sense of responsibility.

Mrs. Feng said again: "If it can't be done, sister, don't be sad. I'm not boasting. There are many people in this village who want to marry us Wanrong. In fact, I don't want to marry her too far away. It will be difficult to see her in the future. This matter Just keep my sister in mind, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I will thank my sister here first."

As she spoke, she made a gesture to salute Mrs. Zhen, so frightened that Mrs. Zhen stopped her, choked up and said, "Sister-in-law...they have treated me well all these years..."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this." Mrs. Feng took her hand and said enthusiastically, "Let's choose a good material and make two new clothes for you and Wanrong. Since we are going out, the old clothes from before It’s not easy to wear it out anymore, there’s no shame in it. It just so happened that my niece sent some good materials last time, so come and pick them out.”

Mrs. Zhen suppressed her tears and said cheerfully: "As soon as I'm old, it's enough to pick a piece of fine cotton to make two sets, but Wanrong should use that soft satin to make a few good ones. It's time for her to dress up. !"

Feng Guang sold more than half of the silks and satins that Xue Pan sent for silver, and the remaining few silks were originally intended to be given to his daughter as a dowry, so they had to be made into clothes at this time.

After packing up his luggage, Feng Guang led his two sons to send Mrs. Zhen and Wan Rong out, and they went all the way out of the state capital before turning back.
