The Fenghua Years of the Red Chamber

Wang Xifeng finally decided to go with Zhang Qingping to Pingyuan Mansion after various considerations. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xing objected, she would never go with her.

"Lien's daughter-in-law, Brother Peng'er is still young, and it's really difficult to travel long distances. If you only want to study for my brother, we can just ask a husband or a banker to build a private school in the village. When he is older, we will send him there. There is no need to travel thousands of miles to Pingyuan Mansion to study in the academy." Mrs. Xing had a good reason.

"Mother-in-law, the master and the second master had a lot of arrangements in Pingyuan Mansion a few years ago. Our Jia family has a good reputation there, and we are taken care of by sister Lin and uncle's family. Life is definitely not as comfortable as it is now. The Zhang Family Academy is well-known in the local area. Students from Mengtong came to Xiucai, and all three provinces in the Southwest want to study here, it will definitely be good for Brother Peng'er's imperial examination in the future." Wang Xifeng said resolutely.

"No matter how famous the Zhang Family Academy is, how can it compare to the academy in the capital? If you don't want to, let's go back to Jinling. The academy in the south of the Yangtze River is second to none. Why go thousands of miles away?" Mrs. Xing was also from an official family, and walked with her father In many places, it is not the kind of ignorance.

"Mother-in-law, to be honest, my daughter-in-law decided to go to Pingyuan Mansion not only for Brother Peng, but also for Sister Qiao's marriage. In two years, Sister Qiao will get married. Choose a suitable family for Qiaojie from among the students." Wang Xifeng pondered over and over again, just for the future of her children.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian won't be able to come back for a year or so. Maybe they will stay in northern Xinjiang for the rest of their lives. They are orphans and widows. They stay in the capital for a long time, relying on Jia Yun and Jia Qiang to live. She is not reconciled of.As for Jinling, both she and Mrs. Xing had already been divorced, so naturally they were not accepted by the Jia family. Northern Xinjiang, northern Xinjiang was bitterly cold, if Jia Lian wanted them to go, he would not bother to send her mother and son out.

For sister Qiao's marriage, Wang Xifeng originally thought about entrusting Yingchun to one or two, but after thinking about it, Yingchun's husband's family is a military general, and most of the daily contacts are from military generals. The military general's family is lonely, and she does not want her daughter to marry into a general.

"Sister Qiao's marriage is on track?" Mrs. Xing asked.

"Sister Lin hasn't replied yet. I also have selfish intentions. If I find a family for Qiaojie in Pingyuan Mansion, after a few years, Brother Peng will grow up. Let's go to northern Xinjiang. Take care of one or two." Wang Xifeng explained.

"Then we can go to Anzhou. Yingying is always closer than Lin. There must be an academy in Anzhou, and it is also close to the master. I went to Pingyuan Mansion thousands of miles away. I am afraid that I will never see the master in this life." It's gone." Madam Xing wiped her tears.

Mrs. Xing didn't want to go to Pingyuan's mansion. First, the road was far away from home, and it was hard to leave her homeland; second, it was farther away from Jia She, and communication was inconvenient. There was a foreigner, and they couldn't get news; third, Zhang's family was Jia Lian's foreigner. At home, how could she seek refuge with a divorced step-wife.In Mrs. Xing's heart, going to Pingyuan Mansion is to seek refuge with the Zhang family.

"Going to find Second Sister is convenient for just the two of us. With two children, I'm afraid it won't work in the past two years, and I may cause trouble for Second Sister." Wang Xifeng shook his head and said.

"Since you insist on Pingyuan mansion, then how about this, you take your two children, I will go to the border to find the master, there are four of them, father and son, there must be a female family to manage the house, the master is not young, I am afraid to go to Pingyuan We will never see each other again." Mrs. Xing is a poor woman, she is old and has no children, if Jia Amnesty does not take back the letter of divorce when she dies, then she will not be able to enter the Jia family's ancestral grave, nor will the Xing family. Let her be buried in the ancestral grave as a married woman, and then she will really become a lonely ghost.

No matter how Wang Xifeng persuaded, Mrs. Xing did not change her mind. In the end, she could only agree to follow Mrs. Xing's opinion. It happened that Jia Yun's caravan was going to the north to buy goods, so Wang Xifeng asked Jia Yun to escort Mrs. Xing to the north.Wang Xifeng took her two children to the southwest, and the family separated again.

When they arrived at Jinling Mansion, Wang Xifeng took Brother Peng off the boat, bought sacrifices, and went to Jia's ancestral grave in disguise. From a distance, Brother Peng knelt down and worshiped. Wealthy and majestic, at any rate it is not dilapidated.

All the way south, Wang Xifeng's mother and son did not disembark until Haizhou. Wang Xifeng took Qiaojie to buy, but unexpectedly met Jia Huan, who was working as a sophomore in a painting and calligraphy shop.

"Is it Huan'er?" Wang Xifeng couldn't believe her eyes.

"Second sister-in-law, I have met second sister-in-law." Jia Huan was a little embarrassed when he saw Wang Xifeng at first, but then he saluted frankly.

"Huan'er, are you going to open a bookstore in the future?" When Jia Zheng's family left, they still had a lot of silver with them. In addition to the 1000 taels of silver given by Xue's family, Jia Qiang and Jia Yun also sponsored some, and lived carefully. , Ten years is nothing to worry about.When Wang Xifeng saw Jia Huan, he thought he was working as an apprentice in the shop to learn art.

"Second sister-in-law laughed at me. Because I was short of money and in order to survive, I asked someone to find this job to support myself." Jia Huan said helplessly.

After some research, Wang Xifeng found out that Jia Zheng's family was on the way to exile, because Mrs. Wang secretly hid the property of the Zhen family, which led to the Rongguo Mansion ransacking the house, so she beat or scolded Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang also tore off the mask of hypocrisy She quarreled with Jia Zheng like a shrew. What's more, Mrs. Wang held the silver given by Xue's family desperately in her hands, saying that the silver belonged to Baoyu, and no one was allowed to touch it.

The whole group of them depended on Jia Qiang and Jia Yun's financial support for the whole journey. Jia Zheng was not in common affairs, and soon the money was running out.Later, Mrs. Wang was so mad that she sent Aunt Zhao to accompany the guests in order to avoid suffering on the journey. Aunt Zhao died because of the humiliation. catastrophe.

When the family arrived in Haizhou, Mrs. Wang spent money to buy a house and settled down. Since Mrs. Wang was in charge of the financial power, Jia Zheng also depended on him for a living.After Jia Huan lived on the money left to him by Aunt Zhao for a while, he was introduced to work in the shop.

"Third Uncle Huan, didn't Auntie and Uncle Bao intercede for you when you were kicked out of the house?" Sister Qiao asked angrily.

"Silly girl, Second Brother Bao doesn't even care about himself. He spends all day in a daze. How can he care about others? My sister-in-law is a girl, and she is already very difficult with Lan'er to make a living under his wife's hands. How could you offend my wife for me? .” Jia Huan laughed at himself.To be honest, Jia Zheng was the one who disappointed him the most. Mrs. Wang wanted to drive him out, but Jia Zheng never said a word.Far inferior to Lan'er, Jia Lan always saves her own food and gives it to him when she is in school.

"Then what are your plans in the future?" Wang Xifeng asked with a sigh. It's hard to tell who is right and who is wrong about the second room's death.

"What else can I do, my little brother, let's live on first. The shopkeeper is kind enough to take me in. He must do his duty and keep the shop safe." Jia Huan smiled wryly. I hope Sister Feng will sympathize with him and completely change his situation.In the prison, he already understood that the relationship between the two people had been broken. Today, sister Qiao can call him third uncle because of the old relationship.

"Huan'er, where's your household registration? Is it at home or has it been separated?" Wang Xifeng asked, if Huan'er didn't have a separate household, Huan'er would be in the hands of Mrs. Wang in the future.

"When she kicked me out, she already gave it to me. My wife wished she would never see me. Ever since I was kicked out of the house, I have never seen my father or Lan'er." Jia Huan said in a low voice.

"It's good to have a household registration. You are good to learn from the shopkeeper. When you have free time, you can read some books. If you have a chance in the future, you will go to your third sister. You are her own brother, and she will never ignore you." Wang Xifeng gave Jia Huan came up with an idea. If Jia Huan stayed in Haizhou, he would always be pestered by the shameless second room.

Because Wang Xifeng and the others were going to board the boat, Jia Huan specially asked the shopkeeper for leave, and accompanied Wang Xifeng and the others to buy things, made a lot of progress in receiving people and things, and finally sent Wang Xifeng and the others to the pier.

"Huan'er, my sister-in-law can't help you much now, you take this, and this is the address of your second elder brother Lian, if you really can't make it, then write a letter." Wang Xifeng saw that Jia Huan was flexible, He was given 20 taels of silver, so that he would have no worries about food and clothing for several years.

After Wang Xifeng boarded the boat, she thought that her aunt was ruthless, and now she is even more disregarded of face, only accepting money but not people, and driving the concubine out of the house. According to her, the second wife who will be able to make a fortune in the future will definitely not be Jia. Baoyu, whether it is Jia Huan or Jia Lan, is better than Baoyu, at least he can support his family.Because of Li Wan, Jia Lan was not close to Mrs. Wang herself. Jia Huan, a concubine, was kicked out of the house early by her, and Mrs. Wang would always regret it.

Another month later, Wang Xifeng and his party finally arrived at Pingyuan Mansion. Lin Daiyu greeted them with the child in her arms. I have to say that Jia She has a good eye for picking people, and Zhang Xiping treats Lin Daiyu well. The two now have a son who is just one year old.

Let's talk about Mrs. Xing, under the escort of Jia Yun, finally met Jia Amnesty. It was less than two years ago.
