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

Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang really deserve to be sisters. They are equally defiant and arrogant, but Aunt Xue is not as vicious as Mrs. Wang.

In the previous life, everyone said that Sister Feng was vicious and had several lives on her hands. She never denied this.But Xue Pan, who is more than inferior, really regards human life as worthless.It just so happens that he is rich, so he can settle it no matter what, and he can swagger through the market without any scruples afterwards.Aunt Xue doted on her son and helped him deal with the aftermath.As a younger sister, Xue Baochai has to take care of the Xue family's face, and she can't discipline her brother, so she can only let him go.

As time goes by, I'm afraid they all think this is a very common thing?It's just a girl, compared to killing someone, it's indeed a trivial matter.

At the beginning, Xue Pan beat Feng Yuan to death, took Xiangling away, and harmed Xiangling's life. Sister Feng also helped the tyrant and helped Mrs. Wang come up with ideas to exonerate Xue Pan.In this life, she absolutely cannot let Xiangling be ruined by Xue Pan again.

Thinking of this, she interrupted: "I don't seem to have promised my cousin to give him Xiangling."

If it was in the previous life, Sister Feng would definitely send Xiangling out in order to please the Xue family.Therefore, Xue Pan thought that Sister Feng was joking, so he laughed, "Is my cousin reluctant? Since my cousin gave me a girl, I will pay you ten. You can choose what you want."

Sister Feng's expression remained unchanged, "Cousin was joking, the Wang family does not lack those girls, and the ten girls should be kept by my cousin. But this Xiangling, I absolutely cannot give her to my cousin."

Judging by Sister Feng's expression, it really doesn't look like a joke.Xue Pan's smile sank, "Why?"

"Because—" I don't know what came to mind, Sister Feng pointed to Xiangling and said, "I didn't lack girls in Yangzhou back then, and I didn't know anything about human teeth. Cousin, do you know why I had to buy her?"

Everyone looked at each other, Xue Pan subconsciously asked: "Why?"

"Because she is beautiful." Sister Feng took it for granted, "I have seen so many girls, even ladies from famous families, and none of them can compare to her appearance, so I bought her, just looking at it makes me feel pleasing to the eye. Otherwise, why would I just let her be a big girl and serve her closely?"

What Sister Feng said was serious and playful, making it difficult to know what she was thinking.

Xue Pan naturally knew this, otherwise he wouldn't be so desperate to get Xiangling, but Sister Feng said so, can he take it away by force?

Thinking of this, he stared at Xiangling again unwillingly, like a drooling wolf.

Aunt Xue knew that if Xue Pan failed to achieve her goal and went back, there would be another fuss.Furthermore, Xiang Lingsheng is too outstanding, if Xue Pan takes it back, maybe he can take it easy.

"It's a good fortune for Sister Feng to take pity on her, but what if there is a better fortune?" Aunt Xue laughed.

How many maids are planning to climb into the master's bed, and they have to start from the common room. I don't know how much effort it takes to become a concubine.But as soon as Xue Pan opened his mouth, he raised Xiangling as his aunt. Others must be jealous. Would Xiangling not know how to praise her?

But she was mistaken, Xiangling was just different from other girls.

Sister Feng asked Xiangling directly: "It's your blessing that my aunt has taken a fancy to you, are you willing?"

Xiangling burst into tears, knelt down and said: "Since the slave was bought by the girl, she is willing to serve the girl for the rest of her life, please don't drive the slave away."

Sister Feng helped Xiangling up, her tone was gentle, but there was a hint of sarcasm mixed in, "Xiangling is so loyal to me, I can't do without her. Please ask my cousin and aunt to show their respect and choose someone else. As long as it's not Xiangling Ling, the cousin girl in my yard can take any of them."

Sister Feng's words like this undoubtedly brought down the Xue family's face, and sure enough, Aunt Xue's face sank.Xue Pan was still unwilling, and before he opened his mouth, he heard Xue Baochai say: "Madam Feng and Xiangling's master and servant are deeply in love, which is really enviable. Since this is the case, we can't force it, don't you think, brother?"

Facing Xue Baochai's warning gaze, Xue Pan could only reluctantly say: "What my sister said is true, I was the one who was abrupt."

Until the banquet ended and he left the Wang family, Xue Pan still stopped and looked at the gate.Baochai had no choice but to persuade her a few words: "My brother did something wrong today. It was my aunt's birthday banquet. Why bother to offend her? How can I reach out to my cousin if I don't have any kind of girl? If it spreads out, it won't make people laugh? Feng girl has a hot temper, if it weren't for the fact that we are relatives, she would never be so easy-going. Now that I am at the feet of the emperor, my brother should be more restrained in his actions."

Xue Pan couldn't listen to it at all, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became that such a beautiful woman couldn't kiss her.Say goodbye to Aunt Xue, mother and daughter, and walk in the other direction.

Aunt Xue hurriedly told the boy, "Follow up quickly, don't let him cause any trouble."

Time flies, and it is the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye.Many things happened in the past month, such as Fu Qiufang accidentally slipped on the snow and had a miscarriage, such as Madam Jiang already had a candidate for a son-in-law.Another example is Gu Xiaohou, who will be crowned this year, but has no intention of getting married. Mrs. Gu is starting to worry. She heard that she is looking for her grandson-in-law in the capital.

Of course, apart from her own marriage, everything has nothing to do with Sister Feng.

On this day, Gu Xingchi had just returned from the palace, changed his clothes and was about to leave the mansion again, before leaving, he went to Ning Xintang to bid farewell to Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu is wearing an autumn-colored silk coat with the pattern of five blessings holding birthdays, and a sable Zhaojun suit on her head.Her hair was tied up in a bun with silver threads, and two simple silver hairpins were stuck in her hair, which was simple and noble.Despite his age, he still looks hale and hearty.

She was swaying at first, but when she saw that Gu Xingchi was about to leave, she immediately sat up straight, "Stop, New Year's Eve, where are you going?"

Gu Xingchi smiled and said, "Of course I'm visiting a friend."

Mrs. Gu glared at him, and said with a smile: "Don't be so playful. Let me ask you, is it because you have been stuck by something that you have not been home all day, or do you have a girl you like? If it is the latter, I will stop for a while and give it to you." You see your daughter-in-law. If you have time, invite someone to come over, and let your grandmother and your two aunts palm your eyes for you. You are not young, so you can't delay any longer."

Gu Xingchi had a headache, he rubbed his forehead, "Grandma, it's not what you think..." He subconsciously denied it, but suddenly a face flashed in front of him, and he closed his mouth.

Mrs. Gu gave him a white look, "Is it not like this or what? After returning to Beijing, I don't want to start a family and start a business, and I still travel around all day long. What do you want?"

Gu Xingchi smiled lazily, as if the room was full of light, his peach blossom eyes were so seductive that the little maids in the room blushed.

He spread his hands, "How do I know? It's probably because the fate hasn't arrived yet, and we have to wait a little longer."

"Nonsense." Mrs. Gu said, "In my opinion, I should marry you a strong wife and a strong Yue family, so that I can control you, let's see if you can calm down."

Gu Xingchi touched his nose: "Grandmother, Doctor Xia said that you should not work too hard because you are old."

"Don't try to change the subject. Since you don't have a girl you like, I have to do it for you. You can't go back if you don't like it then."

Taking the opportunity of New Year's greetings, Sister Feng first went to pay New Year's greetings to Jia Mu and others, then went to visit Fu Qiufang who had a miscarriage not long ago, and finally returned to Rongqingtang to talk to Jia Mu.

Ping'er helped Sister Feng, "Miss, be careful, don't slip and fall. Second Mistress Lian had a miscarriage because of carelessness, but it's also because the girl didn't put her heart into it."

Sister Feng sweeps her moth eyebrows lightly, puts on some makeup, her lips are bright red, and there is a plum blossom hairpin on her temples.Wearing a thick winter coat, holding a hand stove, she floated over like a red cloud, and she was very festively dressed, more beautiful than before.

"How can you blame the girl? Didn't you hear that Second Mistress Lian didn't even know she was pregnant?"

Ping'er doubted: "It's been almost three months, and you don't know that you are pregnant, is this too careless?"

The corners of Feng's lips tugged slightly, "If a wife of a noble family wants to gain a firm foothold, she hopes to give birth to a son as soon as possible. Fu Qiufang finally married into the Rongguo Mansion. Isn't this what she is looking forward to? Don't you know you're pregnant?"

Ping'er was surprised, "Miss, do you mean that Second Grandma Lian deliberately concealed it? But isn't pregnancy a good thing? Why do you have to cover it up?"

"Maybe it's to prevent being tricked by villains, or there may be other reasons." But Fu Qiufang still has a miscarriage after all calculations. It can be predicted how resentful she will be. She must not bear this tone. Rongguo Mansion There will be fun to watch in the future.

Ping'er thought about it all the way, and suddenly realized, "You are talking about Wang..."

"Hush." ​​Sister Feng stretched out her index finger and made a 'silence' gesture, "It's good to know what's going on in your heart, the infighting in Rongguo Mansion has nothing to do with us."

After a while, we arrived at Rongqing Hall, where Jia's mother was sitting on the couch, surrounded by little girls, and Jia Baoyu and Daiyu were sitting beside her.

Li Wan pointed at Sister Feng and said with a smile: "Just now I said that girl Feng has a good eye, but she just came back."

Sister Feng glanced at Xiangling, who was standing under Jia Mu, and seemed to realize something.Today she brought Ping'er and Xiangling with her. Jiamu has always liked Shuiling girls, so she is also particularly interested in Xiangling.She asked Sister Feng if Xiangling was the girl she bought when she went to Jiangnan, so she asked Xiangling to stay, and Sister Feng went to visit Fu Qiufang on her own.

Sister Feng smiled and said, "What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about Xiangling. In the past, your eyes were not flattering, but I didn't expect you to have a good eye for picking girls. This girl is more handsome than you. I don't know how much we envy you."

When Sister Feng met the old lady, she held Xiangling's hand and said: "It's useless to be envious, Xiangling is mine, and no one will let it go."

When Sister Feng spoke, Aunt Xue, mother and daughter thought of what happened at the Wang's banquet, and it was hard for them to talk and laugh.

"Looking at you, you are too stingy." Li Wan laughed, "Xiangling, you have to be careful with this master in the future, she is well-known among us, don't make her angry. "

Xiangling also knew they were joking, so she just smiled shyly.

Li Wan asked Xiangling again, what are the two characters for the name.

Xiangling said softly: "Incense is the fragrance of 'fragrance', and water chestnut is the water chestnut of 'the water chestnut pond is like a mirror and has no waves'."

Li Wan clapped his hands and said, "Yo, you can not only read, but also recite poems. Miss Feng really found a treasure."

Xiangling hurriedly said: "The girl gave me this name."

Sister Feng laughed and said, "I just picked it up casually, I don't know this line of the poem."

Li Wan looked at Xiangling appreciatively: "In the end, Xiangling is still smart, it's a pity to stay with Feng girl."

Sister Feng thought to herself, that's better than being a concubine.According to Xiangling's appearance, she is reluctant to be assigned to a small servant in charge, so she must find a good family for her.

In fact, Xiangling was also pampered by her parents before she was kidnapped and sold, so naturally she also had a teacher.After being abducted and trafficked, the kidnapper hired someone to teach her to read and write, female red embroidery, and recite poetry, of course, in order to get a good price in the future.

Jia Baoyu was shocked when he first saw Xiangling, and felt sympathy for Xiangling's experience.Hearing Li Wan's words, he immediately said: "Why don't you just leave her at our house, it would be great to chat and laugh with the sisters together."

Without even thinking about it, Xiang Ling said: "Thank you for the kindness of Second Master Bao, this servant is a servant girl, so I don't deserve to be with the girls. Besides, this servant doesn't want to leave our girls."

Jia Baoyu thought that Xiangling was afraid that Sister Feng would be angry, so he pulled Sister Feng's sleeve and shook it: "Sister Feng, just let her stay, I promise no one will bully her, so let her live with Sister Lin... ...."

Mrs. Wang changed her face and scolded, "Baoyu!"

Jia Baoyu glanced back at Mrs. Wang, his eyes dodging.

Sister Feng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, stop making trouble. As I said, I don't want to part with her, and it's useless for you to act like a spoiled child."

"Sister Feng..." Jia Baoyu looked at Jia Mu as if asking for help.

In the previous life, this kind of scene had been played out many times, as long as Jia Baoyu acted coquettishly to Jiamu, Jiamu would leave him behind.It's a pity, this is Sister Feng's girl, and it doesn't matter what Jia's mother said.

Seeing that Mrs. Jia didn't help him, he froze immediately.

Mother Jia hugged Jia Baoyu in her arms, and cried out heartily, "This is your sister Feng's girl, we can't force you to keep it, it's the same when I have someone pick one and send it to your room to serve."

"Fine." Jia Baoyu's tone was still full of pity.

Sister Feng: "..."

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, and then saw Zhou Rui's family come in, saying that Master Lin's family from Yangzhou had come.
