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

This is obviously a woman, as if looking for someone.

Gu Yanwen was not sure at first, but when he heard the woman calling the name 'Qing'er', he was completely sure that this was Xiangling.

He couldn't wait for a moment, so he came to 'Xiang Ling' in big strides, grabbed 'Xiang Ling''s hand without any explanation, and dragged her away.

'Xiangling' turned pale with fright, and was about to call for help, before uttering a single word, Gu Yanwen covered her mouth.

She could only make a whimpering sound, and her eyes filled with tears.As soon as he turned around, he found a big tree beside him, and hugged it tightly with both hands.

Gu Yanwen scolded in a low voice, "What are you still doing?"

Ade hurried over to help, and pulled 'Xiangling' over with all his strength.At this time, a gust of wind came, and the lamp on the ground was blown down and rolled to another place, and the candle inside was also extinguished.

In the darkness, although the face of 'Xiang Ling' could not be seen clearly, Gu Yanwen did not have any doubts.The strength of the woman is very small, and she couldn't struggle very quickly. She was picked up by the man in front of her and headed towards Xiaohuawu.

Gu Yanwen found Xiaohuawu with the woman in his arms, pushed open the door, the inside was pitch black, only a thin layer of moonlight fell in.There is an incense table in front of the window, burning an unknown incense, the fragrance is long and strong, refreshing.He took a deep breath, feeling unobstructed, and groped to put the woman on the couch, impatiently kneading the softness under his body, and a burst of fragrance came into his nose.

Maybe it was because he was too eager, or maybe it was because such a beauty was too attractive, he felt hot all over, and tore the clothes of the two of them regardless of the woman's struggle.Although the room was dark, he could feel the smoothness of his hands, and remembered that stunning face.He was even more excited, hugging her tightly, skin to skin...

At first, Qing'er was just pretending to struggle, but gradually became emotional, and couldn't help but boldly responded, gradually felt her body was weak, unable to use any strength, fluttering around as if in a dream, only hearing messy and rapid breathing. It echoed in my ears.

The next day, the sky was bright.

The wind blew all night, and the petals and leaves fell all over the ground. Early in the morning, someone cleaned the courtyard.

Sister Feng opened her eyes, woke up for a while, and was about to get up.

An arm came up behind him, and the voice said lazily, "What time is it, sleep with me for a while."

"It's time..."

Before he finished speaking, he was pulled back into his arms by the person behind him, and was tightly bound, unable to move.

Sister Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she looked at the sky outside through the window paper, and closed her eyes again.

At this time, I heard a knock on the door, Ping'er said: "Madam, the elder sister in the old lady's room is here, please go over."

Sister Feng was prepared in her heart, and she didn't dare to delay, she quickly pushed Gu Xingchi, "Get up quickly, don't make grandma wait in a hurry."

Gu Xingchi reluctantly let her go, and after washing up, before having breakfast in time, they went to Ning Xintang together.Along the way, Ning Xintang's maid told Sister Feng about the whole thing.

In Ning Xintang, Mrs. Gu sat at the head, her usual kind eyes were a little more solemn, Mrs. Liu sat on the side, and she didn't joke around as usual, even brother Ming in her arms stopped crying. .Opposite her was Feng Shi, with a very gloomy face.

The most eye-catching ones were Gu Yanwen and Qing'er who were kneeling on the ground, but they were both disheveled and had weird expressions.

Everyone arrived, only Sister Feng and Gu Xingchi arrived late.The two saluted Mrs. Gu, and Mrs. Gu waved her hand to signal them to sit down.

Feng's family was defeated by Sister Feng one after another, and when he saw her, he became very angry.Now Sister Feng's servant girl is planning to climb onto her son's bed again, she can't bear it even more.Asked in a cold voice: "Sister Feng, since my mother has entrusted you with the housekeeping power, I have no right to interfere with family affairs, but now such a disgraceful thing happened, it was your dowry maid who seduced my son, What do you say?"

Sister Feng looked at Qing'er and said softly, "Seduce?"

Qing'er walked a few steps on her knees, knelt in front of Sister Feng, her eyes filled with tears, "I don't have any servants, Madam, this servant is self-aware and only wants to serve Madam seriously, how dare you seduce the Fourth Young Master?"

What she did last night was not a temporary idea, she had wanted to do it a long time ago, all that was missing was an opportunity.When she finally had the opportunity, she naturally had to take advantage of it.So she knew that this would happen today, but she still didn't regret it. She only hoped that Sister Feng would remember the love she had grown up with and intercede for her.

Feng said angrily: "You said you didn't seduce, so you didn't seduce? If you don't have the intention to climb high, what are you doing in the garden at night?"

Qing'er cried and said: "I went for a stroll in the garden yesterday, and when I came back, I found that I lost a sachet. It was made by my servant, and the name of my servant was embroidered on it. At night, my servant thought about it, and the more I thought about it, the more I lost it." Afraid, afraid of being picked up by others, there will be some rumors at that time, and the servant will jump into the Yellow River to wash it away. So, the servant wants to look for it. Who knows, who knows, I met the fourth son. I don’t know what happened to the fourth son. He will go to the garden at night, and it's hard to avoid it, so he can only go to see him. But the Fourth Young Master... he forcibly took away the servant, and the servant has little strength, no matter how he resists, he can only let the Fourth Young Master..."

At this point, she cried until she couldn't speak.But who else can't understand, Gu Yanwen forcibly defiled Qing'er.

Mrs. Feng patted the table again, "Nonsense, you are really good at talking! My son can't do as many maids as he wants, so why force you? What's more, he doesn't know that you are Sister Feng's maid. You won't do such a thing. It's clear that you designed to seduce my son for the sake of climbing high!"

She absolutely cannot allow Gu Yanwen to be charged with 'forcibly defiled her sister-in-law to marry a maid'.If it is spread by someone with a heart, which other noble woman is willing to marry him?

Thinking of this, she said to Sister Feng again: "Anyway, she is a servant girl of your Wang family, if it gets out, everyone will only say that the Wang family's family style is not good, and the servants are not strict, and the maids taught have no rules and only seduce brothers. "

Sister Feng's complexion remained unchanged, "Qing'er is my servant girl, she did such a thing because of my lax discipline. If the truth is true, I will definitely punish her severely. But I have a question, last night, why did the fourth brother appear in the Where? As a man with a servant by his side, if he had no intentions, how could he be seduced by Qing'er? Could it be that Qing'er tied up and forced the fourth brother to go to Huawu, and forced the fourth brother to want her?"

"I..." Gu Yanwen wanted to quibble, but found that his sophistry was not convincing at all.

The trick he played was originally intended to be used on Xiangling, but he didn't expect to get himself into it in the end.

Feng Shi sneered and said: "As a maid, showing fancy clothes in front of my brother at night is a temptation in itself, what else do I need to do? Sister Feng, are you doing favoritism in order to protect your maid?"

Qing'er and Gu Yanwen are very different, one wants to seduce, and the other is a womanizer, that's why they get together.But Feng believed that it was all Qinger's fault.Just like some women are taken away by robbers, many people think that it is because women are born too beautiful that disasters are caused.

Sister Feng thought it was ridiculous, she didn't sympathize with Qing Er, but she also hated people like Feng Shi.

She looked indifferent, "Of course I don't dare to be selfish. The second aunt is right. Qing'er has evil intentions and uses such means to achieve her goal. Not only must she be punished, but she must be severely punished, so that everyone will think that Quit, don’t dare to do it again!”

Mrs. Feng thought that Sister Feng was forced by her to punish Qing'er, and said to Mrs. Gu: "Mother, Sister Feng has said so, what do you think?"

Mrs. Gu glanced at the two kneeling on the ground, and snorted softly, "Just do what Feng girl said."

Feng's heart was relieved, "Yes, Sister Feng, after all, she is the maid you brought from the Wang family, so it's up to you how you should be punished."

Sister Feng's eyes flicked over everyone's faces, and finally landed on Qing'er. After a while, she heard her say: "The rod is fifty, life and death are up to you. If you are alive, you will sell it. If you are dead, I will give it away." Someone will collect the body for you."

Her voice was very gentle, but the words she spoke were so cold, with such bright eyebrows and eyes, at this moment Qing'er felt creepy.

Feng Shi hurriedly said: "Don't hurry up and drag this shameless lowly maid down for execution!"

Fifty boards, Qing'er will surely die.

As he said that, two rough envoys came to drag Qing'er down.

She thought that if she could stay and become Gu Yanwen's roommate, she would sell Feng's favor and keep that secret.Unexpectedly, Feng Shi actually wanted to use this matter to kill her.Feng is not benevolent, so she has no choice but to be unrighteous.

She shook off her mother-in-law's hand and kowtowed to Madam Gu, "Madam, I still have something to say. About Miss Zhen..."

"Why don't you just shut her up?" Feng suddenly said loudly, "Don't let this lowly maid disturb the old lady!"

The woman hurriedly pulled Qing'er away, Qing'er stood up, and pushed the two women aside, "Madam, Miss Zhen..."

"Enough!" Feng's heart flustered, but he still tried to calm down, "What trick do you want to play?"

Even though she threatened the lives of Qing'er's parents, she was still afraid that Qing'er would reveal that she bribed Qing'er to steal Xiangling's handkerchief and calligraphy to frame Xiangling.

She wished to use Sister Feng's hand to kill someone, but Qing'er was not a kind person.

"If you disturb the old lady, your whole family will not be able to bear the blame. You have to think about your parents."

To Qing'er, this was already a blatant threat.

Feng thought that Qing'er would be afraid and would die obediently for the sake of her family's life, but she was wrong, Qing'er clearly wanted to risk everything.

Qing'er knelt at the old lady's feet again, "Old lady..."

"Mother!" Feng interrupted loudly again.

Mrs. Gu was a little displeased, and frowned, "What's the matter?"

Feng Shi realized that she had overreacted, and smiled unnaturally, "Mother, this is a human life after all. She is still so young, at such a young age, what a pity that she just died like this. I think it's better to deal with it lightly." .”

Old Mrs. Gu said indifferently: "Just now you asked Feng girl not to show favoritism and punish Qing'er. Why did you change your mind after a while?"

"I... I was in a moment of anger just now. Now that I think about it, I was too impulsive. How could I kill someone so casually? A maid is also a human being, and even if she makes a mistake, she will not die. Or, if there is a fault, Brother Wen is also at fault. Because I had too high expectations of Brother Wen, I did not believe that he would do such a wrong thing, so I blamed all the mistakes on Qing Er. Now that I think about it, she And a little innocent." Feng gritted her teeth secretly, and had to exonerate Qing'er.

The drama turned around so quickly, Sister Feng watched it with great interest.She sighed softly, "Second Aunt is really generous and kind, but when I think about it carefully, I am rather narrow-minded. But if I spare Qing'er this time, and I punish others in the future, how can I convince others?"

Get cheap and sell well!Feng Shiqiang smiled and said: "I know I've made it difficult for you, so you should do me a favor and let her go."

Sister Feng hesitated for a moment, reluctantly said: "Okay, I will listen to my second aunt this time. But the death penalty is inevitable, and the living penalty is inevitable. I can't let her continue to stay in my courtyard to serve..."

Feng took over the words, "Brother Wen is a scholar, so he naturally understands the principle of taking responsibility. Since he wants Qing'er's body, it's better for Sister Feng to give Qing'er to him. It's better than killing someone, you say?" Yes or no?"

Sister Feng nodded, "What Second Aunt said makes sense. Since Second Aunt said so, I can't refuse. From now on, Qing'er will belong to Second Aunt, and I will send someone to send Qing'er's deed of prostitution to Second Aunt. " Then, he said to Qing'er, "You survived this time because Second Aunt has a bodhisattva heart. If you were replaced by someone else, you would never be able to tolerate you. When you get to Second Aunt, just stay safe." Duty, take good care of me."

A stone fell from Qing'er's heart, and she won the bet!With this handle, Feng didn't dare to embarrass her too much.

Tears of gratitude flowed from her eyes, and she kowtowed to Feng Shi, "My servant thanked Mrs. Hou for saving my life, and thanked the Second Madam for her kindness. From now on, this servant will definitely serve the Second Madam and Fourth Young Master well."

Back at Biqiu Courtyard, Feng's face collapsed, and he swept the teacup on the table to the ground.

She really lost her wife and broke her army. Not only did she fail to frame Xiangling and beat Sister Feng, but she also recruited a little goblin to come in. Looking at Qing'er's face every day, she couldn't be mad at her?

"Madam, do you really want to send Qing'er to Zhuzhuyuan?" Mother Feng asked.

Feng was furious, "I said this in front of the old lady, can I still go back on my word? Warn her and send her away!"

Mother Feng said: "This girl is really cold-hearted, she doesn't even care about her parents' lives, and wants to climb high."

"I was wrong." Feng Shi closed her eyes, "This time, Wang Shi used it again."

"Isn't it? Our Mrs. Hou is too powerful. I haven't seen her make a move from the beginning to the end, and let others do all the bad things for her. I just wait to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and I can't single out her after the fact Not bad. Come to think of it, she had already noticed that Qing'er had betrayed her, so she just stood still and used Qing'er's desire to climb high to embarrass us."

"This little fox!" Feng said angrily, "If Zhao Yu is as scheming as she is, I won't worry about it."

Now when she thinks about Gu Zhaoyu's marriage, she feels anxious.It's not that no one wants to marry Gu Zhaoyu, but for her, those people's identities, manners, and talents are still too ordinary, and they are not worthy of her daughter.And Gu Zhaoyu himself didn't seem to be happy either.

"Master, please come here."

Mother Feng said: "Ma'am, have you forgotten? The master didn't come back last night."

"Didn't come back again?" Feng felt that there was never a day that went smoothly, "Master hid her well enough, and I haven't found out where she lives until now. Hmph, if it doesn't work, I'll go to the old lady to see What should he do?"

Just as he was talking about the old lady, Qian Mama happened to come and said that the old lady asked the second lady to come over.

Feng Shi was startled, and a little uneasy, "I don't know what's important for mother?"

...

"When did you find out that Qing'er had betrayed you?" Gu Xingchi asked.

Sister Feng has known Qing'er for two lifetimes, so how can she not understand who she is?But she couldn't tell the truth, and said: "I knew that she was thinking carefully before I divorced the Jia family. However, many dowry maids thought so, and I didn't care too much. Later, I married into the Gu family , her mind became even more obvious. I tried to get your attention several times, but I beat her with Mo Nong, and she could only give up. Later, Xiangling's handkerchief and calligraphy were stolen, and I was the first to think of It's her. So, let people stare at her and wait and see what happens. Those words in the garden were indeed said by a few little maids I arranged to tell her on purpose. The purpose was to push her. She did not disappoint me .”

Gu Xingchi put his arms around her shoulders and said with a smile, "Isn't she afraid that my second aunt will kill her parents?"

Sister Feng raised her eyebrows, "As far as I know, Qing'er's parents don't like her at all, because she is a daughter, and they haven't looked at her since she was born. After barely raising her until she was five years old, she was sold to the Wang family. All the monthly money has to be handed over to her parents, so her parents leave the money to their son to squander. Fortunately, sometimes she gets some rewards, and it is not easy for her to live until now. With such parents, what does their life and death have to do with her? What? So, I can understand her wholeheartedly wanting to be like Aunt Xue. She chose the path herself, and even if she has a bad life in the future, she is no different from anyone else."

"You are really exhaustive. You know everything, but you pretend to be ignorant, and just watch this farce happen."

Sister Feng glanced at him, "You don't like what I do?"

Gu Xingchi smiled lowly, "It's too late for me to admire such a powerful wife."

Sister Feng was just fighting back against the enemy, her hands were not stained with blood, nor was she killing innocent people indiscriminately, so what's wrong?

Just after noon, the two leaned together quietly, unknowingly a little sleepy.

Gu Xingchi touched her eyelashes lightly, then quickly withdrew his hand, ready to carry her back to bed to sleep.

Suddenly, she half-opened her eyes, grabbed his clothes, and stared at him, "accompany me to Qingxu Temple in two days."

Gu Xingchi was surprised, "Pray for blessings?"

Sister Feng buried her head in his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "You just go. Last time you left as soon as you arrived at Qingxu Temple, this time you must come with me."

The two of them informed the old lady beforehand and went to Qingxu Temple.As if thinking of something, the old lady also asked the two to donate more sesame oil money, so as to show sincerity.

Half a month later, the Feng family went to Beijing and finally reunited with Xiang Ling.The Feng family stayed in Gu's house for a while, then bid farewell to everyone and took Xiangling back to Suzhou.

On the day Xiangling left, Ping'er and the others were extremely reluctant, crying and laughing around Xiangling, and even gave Xiangling a lot of things.

In the beginning, Zhen Shiyin sold his property in order to find Xiangling, and the house that was destroyed by the fire also belonged to someone else.

"I sent someone to find the current owner of the house, bought the house back from him, and redeemed a few acres of Susukida and the shop, which used to belong to you." Sister Feng ordered Ping'er to bring a box, and ordered He said, "The land deeds and land deeds are all in there. Keep them carefully so that they won't be snatched away. If you have any difficulties, just write to me and tell me. There are only you mother and daughter at home, so don't be bullied."

Xiangling's eyes were red from crying, she was out of breath, her tears fell like beads, she just nodded incessantly.

Finally stopped crying, Xiangling wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "If Madam has a young master or a girl in the future, you must write to me and I will definitely come to Beijing to see you."

Sister Feng nodded and said with a smile, "Naturally."

After tidying up, Feng Shi and Xiang Ling got into the carriage, Sister Feng watched the carriage go away, and went back to Yusheng residence.

In fact, she didn't need to do these things for Xiangling, but the two of them could be regarded as friends after getting along for so long, and it was also a good thing to accumulate merits for friends.

Of course, she will not forget the people who have been kind to her, she is just waiting.

In the blink of an eye, it was late autumn, and the weather was getting colder. Like last year, a charcoal fire was placed in the house early.The autumn wind is rustling outside, and the yellow leaves are falling.Twilight has entered the room, and the candlelight is flickering, reflecting a figure on the wall.

Xiang'er came over on tiptoe and whispered: "Ma'am, it's almost time for dinner."

Half asleep and half awake, Sister Feng opened her eyes when she heard the voice.Looking at the already dark sky outside, I was a little lost in thought.

"Is it night?"

Xiang'er said to Ping'er with a smile: "Look at Madam, are you sleepy?"

After a while, Sister Feng washed her face and became sober, but she still felt a little tired.

"Since Madam is tired, let's go to bed early after eating." Ping'er laid out the bowl and chopsticks, "Madam is too tired to deal with housework every day. I see that you have lost weight recently."

Sister Feng touched her face, "Have you lost weight?"

Xiang'er said: "It's thin. Yi Numai said, you should listen to Master Hou and ask him to find some helpers for you. You are working too hard now. The nap time has been extended, and I just fell asleep again. "

Ping'er joked: "It's easy to get sleepy in autumn, have you forgotten that you fell asleep by the charcoal fire in the past two days?"

Gu Xing came back late today, so Sister Feng ate alone, and went to bed after taking a bath.

When Gu Xing came back late, he saw that the yard was brightly lit, and when he entered the inner room, he found that Sister Feng had already rested.

"Why did you rest so early today?" Gu Xingchi leaned over to look at her.

Sister Feng turned over, opened her eyes and saw a magnified face, she woke up suddenly.

"When did you come back?"

"Just now." Gu Xingchi nodded her nose and said with a smile, "Are you so surprised to see me?"
