[Red Mansion] Ronghua Road of Mrs. Hou's Mansion

The next day, Gu Xingchi and Sister Feng bid farewell to the Xu family, and they left together the next day.

After getting along for a month, they were reluctant to part when they parted. Aunt Xu told them to pay attention to safety on the road.

Gu Xingchi and Sister Feng got on the boat, and Sister Feng waved her hand and said, "Go back, thank you for taking care of us these days, if you go to Beijing in the future, feel free to look for us." She touched her waist, He wanted to take off the jade pendant and give it to them.

Gu Xingchi stopped her, and took out a jade ring from his sleeve and threw it to Xu Yong, "Use mine."

Xu Yong looked at the cloud patterns on the jade ring, then at the person who was about to leave, and said: "This is too precious, and you have lost all your belongings, we can't take it..."

Gu Xingchi said in a low voice, "There's no need to refuse, it's justified to bother you for a long time."

Seemingly sensing that Gu Xingchi was a little unhappy, he put it away.After hesitating for a while, he said, "If Miss Wang still has nowhere to live in the future, she can come back. We welcome you anytime."

Sister Feng smiled gently: "Thank you, but..."

"With me here, she won't have nowhere to live." Gu Xingchi said coldly.

Xu Yong was taken aback for a moment, and scratched his head in embarrassment.Yes, Miss Wang has her elder brother to take care of her, so how could she have nowhere to live?

Sister Feng didn't understand why Gu Xingchi was suddenly upset, so she said to Aunt Xu: "That's it, let's go."

Watching the boat leave slowly, Mrs. Xu and Ms. Xu both turned around and went home, only Xu Yong was still stunned.

Aunt Xu patted him on the shoulder, smiled and shook her head, "Silly boy, he's gone."

Gu Xingchi put the jade pendant into Sister Feng's palm, and said quietly: "A woman's belongings, don't hand them over to others, especially men."

Sister Feng frowned, she really had no idea what this man was thinking.

"We are penniless now, so we can only give him the only jade pendant."

Gu Xingchi looked worried, "Why didn't you ask me?"

Sister Feng stared at him, really not understanding where his resentment came from. "Master Hou, don't you care too much?"

Gu Xingchi took a deep look at her, turned around and went back to the cabin.

Sister Feng: "..."

After all, Sister Feng took Gu Xingchi back to Wang's house.Wang Ren and his wife originally thought that Sister Feng was more dangerous than good, but when they saw Sister Feng standing in front of them alive, they were stunned.

Ping'er cried and laughed, and asked Sister Feng if she was hurt anywhere.

Sister Feng smiled and said: "Why, eldest brother and sister-in-law saw me coming back, wouldn't you invite me in to catch up on the old days?"

The couple came back to their senses, Mrs. Wang Ren took the lead and said, "Why are you back?"

Sister Feng smirked: "It seems that my sister-in-law wishes for me to be homeless forever. I really disappoint my sister-in-law that I can come back alive."

When Mrs. Wang Ren heard that this was wrong, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I'm just too happy. I thought you were in misfortune, but I didn't expect that you are safe and sound, sister-in-law. It was such a surprise."

Sister Feng nodded, "That's why."

Mrs. Wang Ren glanced at Sister Feng from head to toe, and laughed mockingly, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter? Why are you dressing up like this? Could it be that you were bullied?" As she spoke, she looked at Gu Xingchi with ill intentions.

Sister Feng knew that she couldn't say anything good, and she wished that Sister Feng would be unlucky, and she would gloat at that time.

Sister Feng didn't want to argue with her any more, so she simply said: "The day the assassin appeared, the scene was chaotic. I, Heping, and the others got separated and accidentally fell into the river. It was this young master who saved me. We all suffered. Fortunately, we were found by a family and took us in."

Mrs. Wang Ren was dubious, "So, you have been recuperating for a month, and nothing else happened?"

Feng Jie still spoke softly, but his eyes suddenly became sharper, "Naturally, is it to recover from the injury, or does sister-in-law hope for something to happen?"

Feeling that Sister Feng had seen through her dirty thoughts, she smiled awkwardly: "Look at what my aunt said, I just asked casually, I am your sister-in-law, and it is only natural that I care about you more."

Sister Feng seemed to be smiling but said, "Xifeng is really grateful to my sister-in-law." Then she said to Wang Ren, "I just came back and I'm a little tired. I'm going to rest first. The young man who saved me is also a nobleman in the capital. Please give me your orders." Someone tidy up a guest room and come out."

After finishing speaking, without looking at the pair of brother and sister-in-law, Ping'er led them back to the room.

Anyway, she now hates Wang Ren and his wife to the extreme, and she doesn't want to flirt with them, even if it hurts her face, she doesn't care.

Wang Ren's face was very ugly, but thinking of Sister Feng's saying that Gu Xingchi was a nobleman in the capital, he wanted to apologize with a smile, but Gu Xingchi didn't want to talk to him at all, and just walked past him.

Mrs. Wang Ren said bitterly: "This damn girl used to be contemptuous, and now she doesn't take me seriously. It doesn't matter if you don't take me seriously, but you are her eldest brother. Her attitude is really too much." Already!"

Wang Ren said impatiently: "What's the use of talking about it, if you don't ask which family the man is from in the capital."

Sister Feng still lives in the courtyard of the royal family in Jinling.She looked around and sighed, "I haven't been back to Jinling for many years, but I'm quite unfamiliar with this place."

Ping'er waited on Sister Feng to change her clothes, and said with a smile, "Young lady is right." She told Qing'er to throw away the coarse clothes, and said distressedly, "Young lady has suffered, she looks much thinner."

Thinking of what Gu Xingchi had promised her, Sister Feng smiled and said, "This is a blessing in disguise. I've been missing these days and you've been worried, can you do what I said in the letter?"

Ping'er said: "As you said in your letter, I will go to Xue's house to find my aunt to discuss countermeasures, but my aunt said that she can't report to the official but there is no other way, so I can only continue to wait for your news. Then, I will write about your disappearance. The letter informed Madam and let Madam know what the uncle and aunt did. Please don’t worry Madam, you are safe and sound. Just a few days ago, I wrote back again, saying that you have returned safely.”

Sister Feng smiled and said, "You did a good job, so that my aunt won't worry about me."

Ping'er sent Madam Jiang's reply letter to Sister Feng, curled her lips and said, "That's right, Madam is the only one who really cares about the girl. Madam was worried at first, but planned to write a letter to Yin Tianfu, asking him to I sent someone to search for you secretly and bring you back. But you said you would not come back so early, so I didn't go to the government office."

After reading the letter, Sister Feng felt warm in her heart. "Auntie's heart for me, I naturally understand."

Ping'er asked, "Then when shall we go back?"

Sister Feng looked in the mirror and took off the hairpin, "It depends on when my aunt leaves for Beijing."

Wang Ren sent news to the Xue family, saying that Sister Feng had been found and had returned to the Wang family.The next day, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai came to Wang's house to visit Sister Feng.

Although Sister Feng and Xue Baochai were cousins, they were short-spoken and affectionate. Aunt Xue's mother and daughter were willing to visit her, but it was just out of face, and they really didn't care about Sister Feng's life or death.

Sister Feng and Xue Baochai didn't have a deep friendship, and Xue Baochai also didn't like Sister Feng. She looked generous and calm on the surface, but in fact she didn't look down on Sister Feng at all.Many times in the previous life Xue Baochai joked in front of everyone that Sister Feng was illiterate.

Sister Feng just doesn't know how to recite poems, why is she illiterate when she falls into Xue Baochai's mouth?And at that time she was already married to Jia Lian, even if she wasn't Lian's second grandma, she was also Xue Baochai's cousin, but Xue Baochai kept talking about "Phoenix girl", let alone in front of the elders.It sounds like a joke, but it's actually contempt.

But after thinking about it, Sister Feng also felt that Xue Baochai's actions were understandable.After all, she is talented in appearance, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female red embroidery. She is also on the same level as Daiyu, so she naturally has the capital of arrogance.Sister Feng not only doesn't understand poetry, she doesn't even know how to be a female celebrity, but she also acts recklessly. Xue Baochai should look down on her as it should.In the end, Mrs. Lian Wang took her housekeeping right without any guilt.

Thinking of this, Sister Feng smiled.He obviously despised her very much, so he wanted to visit her.Well, it's been a long time since I saw her. She really misses this kind and generous cousin.

Just thinking about it, Aunt Xue, mother and daughter came in.Sister Feng was leaning on the beauty's couch and got up immediately.Aunt Xue walked over quickly, her face full of eagerness, "Don't be too polite. My son, why is he missing and injured again? During your disappearance, your cousin and I were worried every day, but the worry was broken. I'm afraid you have a mistake, and you can't explain it to your aunt and uncle." She wiped her tears and said, "Fortunately, God bless you and let you come back safely. Are you feeling better, but is there any discomfort?"

Sister Feng pulled Aunt Xue and the mother and daughter to sit down, and said emotionally, "Is it Xifeng who made Auntie worry? It was supposed to be me who went to visit Auntie. I troubled Auntie to come all the way. Xifeng really felt sorry."

Aunt Xue wiped her tears, "You are the flesh and blood of the whole family, so there is nothing to bother you. You are my own niece, just like my own daughter. I don't care about you. Who do you care about?" She touched Sister Feng's cheeks. Face, "I haven't seen her for many years, and she has grown into a big girl, and she looks more and more like a beautiful woman." Moreover, it seems that she has a lot of thoughts.

Sister Feng also shed a few tears, "We just met, and my aunt made fun of me."

At this moment, Xue Baochai, who was silent all the time, joked, "Look, Mom, the girl has changed eighteen times, not only has her appearance changed, her temperament has also changed, and now she has become more modest."

Not to be outdone, Sister Feng said: "I don't dare to be modest. I'm telling the truth. My appearance is no match for Miss Bao. Besides, I've heard that Miss Bao is outstanding in learning. Even men can't compare. There's a saying. , it seems to be "poetry and calligraphy in the abdomen", it's nothing more than a good appearance, but it's rare to have a chest, so it's even more difficult for me to be as good as Miss Bao."

Xue Baochai didn't seem to have heard that Sister Feng called her "Bao girl" strangely, and still smiled and said: "It's amazing, I thought that Feng girl was illiterate, but now she can write poems. Sure enough, the capital is different from ours here. As the capital has passed for a long time, ordinary people have become elegant people."

Sister Feng laughed softly: "Since that's the case, when will Miss Bao return to the capital with me? The land in the south of the Yangtze River is already beautiful and outstanding, and Miss Bao's outstanding appearance will only stand out even more when she comes to the capital. No one can say no." Come on."

Xue Baochai's smile froze for a moment, obviously thinking that when she went to the capital to be elected, she would compete with many outstanding ladies. Sister Feng's words sounded like a joke, but in fact it hit her heart.

But after all, she is good at covering up, and she immediately smiled as before, reaching out to pinch Sister Feng's face, "Just now I said that girl Feng has changed, but now it seems that her nature is still hard to change, this mouth is even stronger than before."
