The Fenghua Years of the Red Chamber

After Wang Xifeng returned home, she ordered people to pay attention to You Shi's movements. Seeing that she really ordered people to find the husband's family for the You Shi sisters, she felt relieved.

"You went to Dongfu a few days ago, did you see sister-in-law's sister?" Jia Lian opened the curtain and went into the room and asked.

"I see, why are you asking this?" Wang Xifeng asked in a daze.

"Rong'er came to see me a few days ago and said she wanted to introduce my sister-in-law's sister to me. I felt strange, so I came to ask you?" There must be something inside.

"Rong'er, who killed with a thousand swords, you are being taken advantage of by the master. It is good for you to treat the second sister You? The mother and daughter bullied the sister-in-law's good sex, and they stayed in the East Mansion, dazzled by the prosperity and wealth in front of them. Well, you are a good lady, you quit your marriage, and you fooled around with Brother Zhen and his son, Rong'er is so shameless, she throws their broken shoes to you." Wang Xifeng yelled, scolding Jia Rong is not a thing.

"Grandma calm down, it's not worth getting angry about this kind of thing. I'm afraid that kid Rong'er won't let go of Second Sister You, so I want to see you." Jia Lian smiled and comforted Wang Xifeng.

"Second Master, you must have taken a fancy to Second Sister You, right? Let me tell you first, I will never allow such a woman to enter the house." Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian suspiciously, and warned after a long time.

"Go, in your heart, Master is the one who doesn't shy away from meat and vegetables." Seeing Wang Xifeng's violent reaction, Jia Lian thought of teasing Wang Xifeng. In the past, Wang Xifeng would watch him closely, but he liked to play tricks outside. Since Wang Xifeng restrained himself His temper stopped being rambunctious, and he couldn't think of being in the mood to mess around outside.

"You said before that Rong'er couldn't let go of Second Sister You, so you came to find you. I probably guessed the reason. I went to Dongfu a few days ago, and saw that the mother and daughter were making trouble, so I told you The elder sister-in-law said a few words, and married the two of them quickly, who would have thought that Rong'er would find you, you really don't know good people, and you are just making trouble for nothing. That's because you have a bad reputation before." Wang Xifeng As soon as you turn your mind, you will know the reason inside.

"It's not that you just meddle in other people's affairs, and you don't even mention Lii Ye, but blame him." Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng said in a verbal argument.

Seeing that Jia Lian didn't mean to take care of Second Sister You, he changed the subject and said, "About Yun'er's marriage, how about telling him about Xiaohong?"

Wang Xifeng thought about the time, and was afraid that it was time for the national filial piety, so he dared to let the two get married before the national filial piety.

"Lin Xiaohong, Lin Zhixiao's daughter, you can ask my fifth sister-in-law about this. Yun'er is not young, and my sister-in-law is visiting her recently." Jia Lian asked.

"I was thinking, if Yun'er agrees, I will let Lin Zhixiao's family out." Wang Xifeng said with a smile, if it was just their marriage, she didn't need to greet Jia Lian, after all Lin Zhixiao was the second housekeeper in the mansion, The big housekeeper of their big room.

"I went to my father and said that if this marriage is completed, the deeds of their family will be returned, and they will only be allowed to work in the house." Jia Lian nodded in agreement.Sure enough, Jia Amnesty agreed, and Wang Xifeng came forward to match the two, and gave Xiaohong a dowry, happy to send her to marry, and Sister Qiao asked Wang Xifeng to take her to join in the fun.

Wang Xifeng didn't care about the family and had nothing to do all day long, so she took up the job of protecting the matchmaker. In addition to proclaiming marriage to Jia Yun, she also acted as matchmaker for Jia Qiang and Jia Qin, and made several couples together. Iceman matchmaker business.

The days went by without realizing it, and it really came to the country's filial piety. The whole group changed their filial piety clothes, and the family of the big family all went to the palace to cry, only a few young ones were left at home. There are a few people in the second room who are idle, but the people in the first room are not willing to let them take care of them, and finally decided to let Jia Yun and Xiaohong live in and take care of them for a while.

Wang Xifeng followed the old lady and Mrs. Xing into the palace to cry, wishing to die in a few days, going to the palace to cry is too tortured, every day before dawn, she enters the palace, kneels all day, and follows the command of the master of ceremonies to cry If you dare to make any mistakes, your whole leg will be bruised and purple when you come back. The elderly old lady will be in a bad state after a day. Fortunately, the emperor is considerate. After the first seven days, the elderly do not have to go to the palace to cry. There must be a group of people in Beijing to handle the funeral.

"Before I always envied those families with imperial orders, and I only found out today that I could see the beauty of heaven when I entered the palace. It's better to stay at home, ouch." Wang Xifeng asked the girl to rub her legs and said.Wang Xifeng expresses her feelings. In her previous life, regardless of happy or sad events, she never had a place in the palace. She was always envious of the old lady and the others after they left. Only in this life did she realize that this is not an easy task.

"Okay, you have to rest quickly, you have to enter the palace tomorrow, I'll go and tell Yun'er a few words." Jia Lian went out and told Jia Yun to close the door tightly and restrain the servants, so as not to cause trouble these days.

After the emperor's funeral, everyone in the big room lost a lot of weight. When they came back, Jia Amnesty and Madam Xing lay down and asked Dr. Chang to see a doctor. They took medicine for a few days before they recovered. Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were very worried.

The Rongguo Mansion has had a lot of ups and downs this year, mixed with sorrow and joy. It was reported in the palace that the empress was happy, and everyone was very excited. Before they calmed down, they received a report that Prince Teng died on the way to take office. Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng rushed to offer their condolences.

After the funeral, it was reported by the Ministry of Household Affairs that it would make up for the shortfall. The shortfall during the tenure of the prince was made up by Wang Ren and several others. For a while, the Wang family was in chaos. With a twisted brain, he used the pretext of hosting a birthday banquet to collect property from various families, and he got the nickname "Wonderful Ren".

Wang Xifeng had a lot of headaches because of this, she persuaded and persuaded this elder brother, scolded and scolded her, and gave her money, but she didn't stop, it was all caused by the lack of money.After much deliberation, Wang Xifeng finally decided to return her dowry to the Wang family and cut off her ties with the Wang family, so as to save her unworthy brother from taking his ideas on them again.

When Jia She and his son heard the news of Prince Teng's death, their hearts tightened. It seemed that the Holy Majesty couldn't wait any longer, and then the Ministry of Households checked to make up for the deficit, and they were in a hurry. They didn't expect Wang Xifeng to come up with such a thing. .

"Old lady, master, madam, I can't do anything about it. My elder brother is useless. He always makes troubles for money, and he drags the master and the second master to clear it up for him. He is so troublesome. He can only do it for money. Return the dowry, and he will stop when he has money." Wang Xifeng said helplessly with tears in his eyes.

"Lien's daughter-in-law, you can think about it. If the dowry is returned, if you don't come back, what will you do with your brothers and sisters in the future?" the old lady asked with a headache.

"Old lady, I did this just for the sake of the children. My brother has already had a quarrel, let him continue to quarrel. With an uncle of that kind, the two children will not be able to see anyone, let alone in the future. "Wang Xifeng said helplessly.

"Boss, Lian'er, what do you mean?" The old lady couldn't make up her mind for a while.

"Who will use her dowry is up to her." Jia Amnesty said, when the property is confiscated and returned to the public in the future, it's better to send it out as a favor.

"As she likes, the grandson is not a coward, he can support a wife and children." Jia Lian said, he might not know who Wang Xifeng is, and he must have left behind. I also made a lot of money, and I didn't stop when I came back this year, and I didn't miss the dowry money.

Wang Xifeng gave all the silver from the dowry to Wang Ren, pulled Wang Ren and said, "Brother, take the money and live a good life, don't do those things that make people laugh, and don't let your relatives point at your spine and insult your ancestors. .”

"You gave me the silver, what will you do in the future? You should take it back." After all, Wang Ren still loved his sister, knowing that Wang Xifeng's life would be difficult after taking the silver.

"I can always live on. I have brother Peng, so I can't let me go home. Brother and sister have done everything they can, so I can take care of myself in the future." Wang Xifeng handed the money to Jia Lian, bid farewell to the Wang family, and went all the way back to Jia government.

After Wang Xifeng returned home, just after changing her clothes, Jia Lian came in from the outside and gave her 500 taels of silver, saying it was money from her private house. "As a result, the banknotes were stuffed into the wallet with a smile.

"Master, do you think I should pretend to be poor for a few days?" Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian laughed and quarreled.

"Tomorrow you will be full of pearls and emeralds, and others will think you are fat with a swollen face." Jia Lian said after taking a bite of grapes.

"That's right, then I'll avoid going out, so I won't have to look at those people's faces." Wang Xifeng turned her head and said, she didn't want to see the slaves of those forces.

Sure enough, the gang of slaves followed the wind and saw that Wang Xifeng had no money, so they ridiculed everywhere, and were heard by several children. The next day, three children came in with several small boxes.

"Mom, don't be sad. Brother Mao and I will give you all the money." Sister Qiao saw Wang Xifeng lying on the bed, and handed the small box to her.

"Yes, ma'am, don't be sad, Brother Mao will save all the future allowances for you." Brother Mao also said shakingly holding the small box.

The youngest, Peng Geer, held a golden locket in each hand and wanted to give it to Wang Xifeng.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng hurriedly asked someone to take the box down and opened it. Inside were all kinds of gifts that Qiaojie Maoer had received over the years, including gold and silver lockets of various colors. There are jade bracelets and the like in the box.It's worth a lot of silver if you really want to calculate it.

"I didn't expect our sister Qiao and Brother Mao to be quite rich." After checking the box, Wang Xifeng said, "Do you really want to give it to me?" Seeing the two children nodding, Wang Xifeng praised: "They are all filial. My child, I will accept that wife." After driving the servants out, Wang Xifeng took out a few banknotes from the inside, wrapped them in grease and stuffed them into an inconspicuous pouch for the two children to hang around their necks.

"Keep this purse safe, and don't let anyone know about it." Wang Xifeng gave each of the two children 1000 taels of silver, and she always felt a little uneasy.When Jia Lian came back, Wang Xifeng let Jia Lian look at the box, proudly showing off: "My lord, our children are all filial. Look, these are all given to me by their filial piety." The children were embarrassed by the praise.

"You will also be able to coax a few children." Jia Lian said disdainfully.

Once outside, it was reported that Jia Cong was coming, and he took out a purse and said it was for Wang Xifeng. When he opened it, there were 20 taels of silver in it. I bought him 100 acres of fertile land in an unremarkable village on the outskirts of Beijing with a little more than [-] taels of silver.
