The Fenghua Years of the Red Chamber

When Youshi heard that Jia Zhen personally took care of Qin Keqing's funeral, he became so angry that he became really sick. He gritted his teeth with hatred and cursed inwardly: "Bitch, if you die, you will not let people live in peace. You deserve to go to the [-]th floor of hell."

According to You Shi's thoughts, he wished that the whole world would know that Qin Keqing did not abide by women's morals and conspired with her father-in-law. This kind of slut should stop leaving the house and not be buried in Jia's house, let alone handle funerals with great fanfare, but wrap them in straw mats The Jia family can't tolerate scandals spreading.

Thinking of Jia Zhen, You Shi wished to eat Qin Keqing's meat and drink Qin Keqing's blood. This bitch, born with a face that seduces men, hooked up with Jia Zhen not long after entering the house, and later got Dongfu Jia Baoyu stepped on her mother-in-law. Fortunately, this time she joined forces with Jia Rong to force that bitch to death.

Youshi knew in his heart that Wang Xifeng's benefits would be indispensable this time, and he was unwilling to do so, but he had no choice but to ignore it.

On the day of the funeral, there was a huge funeral procession with a lot of dignitaries. The old relatives of Jia's family, the four kings and eight princes who followed the old saint to fight in the country, sent people from every family. Although Rongning and Ningfu have not yet reached their peak , but it is also very face-saving.Wang Xifeng was walking behind Mrs. Wang in a carriage. She was very busy these days and had to plan for the future. Her mind was never resting for a moment, and she was very tired. She was planning to squat in the carriage for a while when the carriage stopped suddenly. Come down and wake her up.

"Come to Wang's house, go ahead and find out what's going on?" Wang Xifeng opened the curtain and ordered.

"Grandma, the people at the front have spread the word that the Prince of Beijing is coming to sacrifice. The Eldest Master, Second Master, and Uncle Zhen have already gone to see the Prince." Lai Wang's family replied.

Wang Xifeng recalled that there was such a thing about funerals in her previous life. King Beijing also called Baoyu to come forward, looked at the precious stone brought by birth, praised Baoyu, and rewarded a lot of things. At that time, she thought it was a palace Li's decency, I feel that Baoyu is really a good fortune, and it is the honor of the whole family to be appreciated by the nobles.

Now she has something strange to say, a female family member of a third-rank general’s mansion did not have any ranks before her death, how could the King of Beijing specially pay homage to her? In her previous life, she thought that Jia’s family had a high position and the King of Beijing had a good relationship with their family. Now think about it , I am afraid there is something else hidden.Qin Keqing was adopted from childhood, and the attitude of old ladies and ladies towards Qin Keqing on weekdays, I am afraid that Qin Keqing's background is different.Unfortunately, the person is gone.

As for the questioning of Wang Zhao Baoyu of Beijing, Wang Xifeng felt that the matter had nothing to do with him, so he closed his eyes and meditated, until the carriage started to move again, and Baoyu opened the curtain and came in.

"Sister Feng, Sister Feng, it's boring for me to ride a horse outside alone, let's talk." Baoyu complained.

"Baoyu, if you're bored, go sit in your wife's car and talk to your wife. You're busy working in the East Mansion these days, why don't you take advantage of this time to honor your wife? You must be happy to see King Beijing just now. Why don't you go and tell your wife." Wang Xifeng looked up at Baoyu and said.

"Sister Feng, let's talk." Jia Baoyu was not happy when he heard that he was going to his wife's car, and said with a flattering face.

"It's fine if you're afraid of the master, and I'm not happy to ask you to go to the wife. If the wife can eat you, you can't do it. You are the lifeblood of the wife." Wang Xifeng looked at Baoyu with a half-smile and said. "If you feel bored, then go ahead and find someone else to play with. I've been so busy recently that my feet don't touch the ground. I don't have a chance to rest. I'm very tired. I'll be even busier when I get to Tielan Temple. Take some leisure to rest your mind. Good brother, if you are bored, go and play with your brother and nephew." Wang Xifeng said.

At the resting place on the way, Wang Xifeng's carriage turned a corner and went to a village. Jia Baoyu originally dragged Qin Jingqing to talk together, but when she saw that Sister Feng's car was separated, she felt that it was boring to follow the group, so she dragged Qin Jingqing I went after Sister Feng's carriage.

The sharp point is a farm family, all the men have avoided, only the female family members are left, Jia Baoyu dragged Qin Jingqing around, and recognized all the farm guys.The daughters of the master's family had never seen such a wealthy family before, and they gathered together to look at them curiously. Wang Xifeng beckoned these people over, asked about the farm, and asked Feng'er to give each of the girls a The reward of the purse.

Erya, the daughter of this family, is eleven or twelve years old. Her clothes are clean. She looks cute and speaks very cleverly. She is not afraid to see the young master, and she even showed Baoyu and the others how to use the loom.

When Wang Xifeng saw the second girl, it was as if she had seen her sister Qiao in her previous life. Grandma Liu spent all her family's money in order to redeem her, so she didn't know how she lived in Grandma Liu's house. Did she also spin yarn like these two girls, and do needlework to subsidize the family? Thinking about this, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but shed tears, raised her head and closed her eyes, not letting the tears fall, and her heart became more determined, even if the house was raided in the future, She can't wrong her children.

In the evening, there were only sporadic guests left in Tielan Temple, as well as juniors who needed to keep watch. Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing wanted to take Baoyu away when they left.After some threats and instructions from Mrs. Wang, Jia Baoyu was handed over to Wang Xifeng to take care of her.

All the clansmen lived in Tielan Temple, Wang Xifeng wanted to kneel down to worship the Buddha, because it was inconvenient for people to come and go in Tielan Temple, so she asked someone to clean up a yard in Shuiyue Temple and asked Baoyu to go with her. This living ancestor had an accident under her nose, and the old lady and her good aunt could eat her.

Jia Baoyu and Qin Jingqing had a good relationship, and they took Qin Jingqing to Shuiyue Nunnery together, and Wang Xifeng asked them to put them in a wing room, and Master Jingxu from Shuiyue Nunnery accompanied Wang Xifeng.

"Grandma, just look at your eyes, which can be easily arranged." Master Jingxu always brings his young apprentice Zhi'er into the mansion on weekdays, and he is very familiar with the masters of Rongguo Mansion.

Wang Xifeng glanced at it, but didn't really care. She stayed in the dark, damp, insect-infested cell for a long time. She didn't care about the house and whether it was properly furnished.

"Why haven't you seen your master and apprentice go to our mansion recently? I'm confused. I went to the East mansion with grandma, and Master Jingxu went to the mansion, but I couldn't see it. Naturally, I have never met the master." Feng My son waited on Wang Xifeng and asked while tilting.

"There's been a lot of things recently, I went to the mansion a while ago." Jingxu said with a smile, thinking about how to tell Sister Feng about the Zhang family.

After all the servants were gone, leaving only the confidant girl to serve, Jingxu approached Wang Xifeng and told about the affairs of this family. In the name of his father, he did a lot of lawsuits and charged Jia Lian with beheading.

In her previous life, she took care of this matter, exchanged 3000 taels of silver, and made her bear the burden of two lives. Speaking of this matter, it was the Zhang family who asked for it. They talked about money, and one daughter has many families. This should be a lawsuit. Even without him, this golden pigeon can hardly enter the gate of the defense house, hang himself, who will show it?If he was really strong, he would have been killed when his parents agreed to a second family. Why wait until later to drag the son of the defense family to die together.

"The Zhang family doesn't do things well. Since ancient times, one daughter and two families, what can happen to them? So what if they win the fight. If this happens, the daughter of this family will end up dead. I don't care about this matter." It doesn't matter, besides, I am not my housekeeper in this mansion now, and I can't care about it, I advise you, you should find someone who can take care of things." Wang Xifeng opened his eyes and glanced at Jingxu and said, Jingxu often goes in and out of the capital. People have taken on a lot of jobs like taking over the lawsuits and profiting from them.

"Look at what grandma said, no one in the whole capital knows that your second grandma is the most capable. If you don't take this idea seriously, it's not that you can't take care of it. The Zhang family begged me, and I have to take care of it. Let the Zhang family know that I asked the mansion, if you know, I understand that grandma doesn't want to take care of the family affairs, if you don't know, it will make the Zhang family underestimate the ability of the mansion." Jing Xu said good things, and used She gestured to give 3000 taels of silver afterwards, thinking that Wang Xifeng should give up the matter, but the Zhang family promised her a vain 5000 taels of silver.

"Okay, you old bastard, don't provoke me with your words. I don't want to be my aunt. In the end, this family is greedy for wealth and honor. Chang'an Jiedu has his own decision on this matter. There is no need for us in the house to worry about such a thing. , just write to ask someone, your grandma and I are not short of the 3000 taels of silver." Wang Xifeng looked at Jing Xu coldly.

Seeing that Wang Xifeng should not respond, Master Jingxu had no choice but to back down. The power of the Rongguo Mansion was not something she, a nun, could offend.Wang Xifeng called Laiwang and his wife in, and asked Laiwang to go back overnight to fetch Jia Lian's seal.After finishing speaking, she was still not at ease, Jia Lian's seal was in the mansion, and those slaves had to sell them in order to curry favor with the second wife, and let the people from Lai Wang's family keep a close eye on Jing Xu, she didn't believe this old bald man A donkey would give up so easily.

After Wang Xifeng explained this, she just lay down to rest, and she still had to go to the temple to worship Buddha and ask for some peace charms for Sister Qiao and Second Master.Wang Xifeng thought about the Zhang family's affairs over and over in her heart. She had experienced so many things that she had to think about everything several times.

"Xiaoyao, can you hide what happened in this mansion from your wife?" Wang Xifeng asked aloud with a bold idea.

"Grandma, I'm afraid I can't hide the big and small things in the house from my wife. My wife has been in charge of the house for so many years, and there are wives everywhere. What's more, the slaves in our house are those who eat wine and gossip. There are many." Xiao Yao thought for a while and said.

So, it seems that she has fallen for someone else's trap. In her previous life, Mrs. Wang knew about her lending and taking on lawsuits. I didn't expose her death before, but she was still useful. Baoyu hadn't married yet, and there was no more suitable person to take over Baoyu's housekeeper. No wonder Xue Baochai didn't take long to enter the house. Wang came out to testify. It seems that she underestimated Mrs. Wang. If Lai Wang and his wife had taken refuge with Mrs. Wang early on, or if they were Mrs. Wang's minions, then her entire past life would have been a big joke.

The more Wang Xifeng thought about it, the more likely it was that Laiwang was born in Rongguo Mansion, and he followed Jia Lian since he was a child, but Jia Lian lost his birth mother when he was young, and was raised in the old lady's yard when he was young, and the slaves around him were all old ladies Arranged by Mrs. Wang.

She has always trusted Laiwang because Laiwang is Jia Lian's confidant; as for Laiwang's family, she is her dowry girl, who is good-looking, and she later betrothed to Laiwang. Serving her wholeheartedly by her side, she held the family's contract of prostitution, thinking that she would not be able to get over her Wuzhishan, it seems that she was careless.

In order to make up for the expenses of the house, she used the monthly money and her body to put loan sharks outside. It was Lai Wang's family who gave her the idea.With the idea that the Laiwang couple are the nails placed by her aunt, Wang Xifeng made the worst plan in her heart.It seems that everyone around her needs to investigate. If the Laiwang couple really have a second master, don't blame her, Wang Xifeng, for being cruel.

Wang Xifeng was thinking about the servants around her, and those who could find out the servants around her for her. After all the calculations, they were only Lin Zhixiao and his wife. They were all brought here from Jinling by her. The servants of the Jia family and Jia family had nothing to do with each other.

With a candidate in mind, Wang Xifeng decided to wait for her to talk about it when she went back, but she couldn't settle down anymore, so she took Xiaoyao out for a walk, went to the temple to worship Buddha and chant scriptures, to calm down and feel at ease.

When Wang Xifeng came to the main hall, she knelt down and recited the Buddhist scriptures in her heart. She recited the scriptures silently several times in her heart, and then said silently in her heart: "Xifeng, Queen of Faith, thank you Bodhisattva for blessing me. Doing good deeds, Wang Bodhisattva will keep my son safe and my husband and son-in-law live a long life.” After that, he kowtowed three times and bowed six times devoutly before leaving the hall.

The yard was already quiet, and suddenly saw a figure running out of Qin Jingqing's room, and when he arrived at the light, Wang Xifeng recognized that person as Zhizhi, a nun from Shuiyue Temple, who was very handsome, and now he was in a panic The other ran out of the wing room, still disheveled.

Wang Xifeng was afraid that something had happened to Baoyu, so she went to the wing room. As soon as she got to the window, she heard Baoyu laughing and saying, "Just say that you two have ghosts. If you don't admit it, I'll catch you."

"Good man, don't tell others to go, I will do whatever you want." Qin Jingqing begged for mercy after a while.

"Don't talk about it now, I will settle accounts with you after I fall asleep later."

After saying these words, Wang Xifeng guessed the matter wildly. It was nothing more than that this intelligent child and Qin Jingqing had a good relationship, did some messy things, and was caught by Baoyu.Wang Xifeng has seen and heard too much about these son-in-law's affair, so she doesn't intend to care about it.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard the sound of happiness coming from inside. It was obvious that the voices were Baoyu and Qin Zhong. Wang Xifeng blushed angrily and turned to leave. No wonder Qin Zhong was sent back for the funeral. Master Qin taught him a lesson, and then blew it away again. Feng, fell ill, and finally died of illness. This is because Mr. Qin found out about his troubles, and he was hit by a board and overindulged.

She stayed in Shuiyue Nunnery for three days in her previous life. She was too busy to take care of Baoyu and the two of them. She never thought that there would be such a dirty thing in it. Baoyu Hanyu was born. Everyone is friendly, and she also agrees with this point of view. It seems that she is mistaken, but she is a drunk, and there are not enough maids around her, and she even provokes some men outside. The reputation of the girls has been ruined by messing around in the house.No wonder, the Jia family has four beautiful daughters, and there is another empress in the palace, but there is no one in the house who proposes a marriage.

The old man sold Yingchun for 5000 taels of silver. Everyone blamed the old man for being greedy for money. Who can understand the old man's thoughts? Seeing that no one came to propose marriage to his daughter who was about to spend her flower season, and Mrs. Xing couldn't help , Seeing that she can only get married and die at home, the old man can't send his daughter out of the house in the form of debt repayment.

As for Yingchun's poor marriage, Wang Xifeng doesn't think it's the elder's fault. She can only blame Yingchun for being weak and incompetent. , is also a high climb.The family's confidence is stronger than that of the husband's family, so they play a good hand of cards to pieces.

Standing in the night breeze, Wang Xifeng's mind was clearer than ever. She now understood many things that happened back then. It turned out that everything she saw was so unreal. She let power and money blind her eyes.Wang Xifeng clasped his hands together and bowed in the direction of the main hall. "Thank you Bodhisattva for your reminder."

"Grandma, it's windy at night, let's go in." Seeing Wang Xifeng standing in the yard, Xiao Yao persuaded her to go in.

"Go in." Wang Xifeng said in a cold voice.

That night, Wang Xifeng slept peacefully for the first time in Shuiyue Nunnery, and after getting up, she was refreshed. Baoyu Qinzhong, who lived in the east wing room, had been messing around until late at night, and she hadn't gotten up yet. Wang Xifeng told people not to After waking them up and not letting Jingxu accompany her, she took Feng'er to the main hall, followed the nuns to do morning lessons, and had a fast meal before driving to Tielan Temple.

Wang Xifeng was not there, Baoyu and Qin Zhong were outside without anyone to restrain them, and they became more and more comfortable. In the middle of the afternoon, they saw Wang Xifeng return to Shuiyue Nunnery and begged not to go back. Wang Xifeng wanted to burn incense and worship Buddha for Jia Lian and sister Qiao Please be safe.

Shuiyue nunnery, from the abbot master Jingxu to the little nuns below, there is not a single person in the Buddhist sect. Outsiders see it as a dirty place, and they wish to leave early. But for Wang Xifeng, where there is a Buddha, there is peace of mind. What's more, I got a suggestion from the Buddha last night.

"Master Jingxu, I will be in your temple for two more days. I have had trouble sleeping and eating since attending the funeral. I slept soundly last night, which shows that your temple is alive. In the future, I will come to your temple to burn incense." Wang Xifeng said with a smile. , the attitude towards Jingxu is very good, yesterday I didn't give the old bald donkey face, today I speak more politely.

"Amitabha, to be praised by grandma, it must be the manifestation of the Buddha. Grandma has a noble status, so she is blessed by the gods of the Buddha." When Jing Xu heard that he would come back in the future, all he saw in his eyes were white silver. What happened at night was nothing, Second Mistress didn't care, she just went to the mansion and asked his wife for advice.

Wang Xifeng squinted in the house for a while, then asked someone to set up a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and copied the Lotus Sutra, and worshiped it in front of the Buddha that night. Doing some dirty things, and this Jingxu master and apprentice, no wonder others say that Buddhist temples are the most filthy places, and it is these black-hearted people who have polluted the pure land.

"Grandma" Feng'er supported Wang Xifeng, and when she heard the commotion in the wing room, she blushed in embarrassment, looked at the stern Wang Xifeng in embarrassment, called grandma cautiously, and asked how to deal with this matter.

Wang Xifeng didn't speak, didn't even look at Feng'er, just walked into her own room, as for Baoyu and Qin Zhong, these have nothing to do with her.

It is said that Baoyu is kind-hearted and affectionate, and he is the most gentle and affectionate towards his daughter, but in fact he is the most cruel and ruthless. Qin Keqing has only been gone for a long time, and he has been messing around with Qin Zhong, doing secret pleasures.After staying in Shuiyue nunnery for another day, Wang Xifeng and his party went back to the mansion. Wang Xifeng had to go to the East mansion to hand over and order Baoyu to be sent back.

"Is sister-in-law cured?" Unexpectedly, You Shi sat next to Jia Zhen, and Wang Xifeng greeted with a smile.

"Sister Feng, sit down quickly. I'm an old man. I have good times and bad times. Thank you so much during this time. Without you, our family would not be laughed at." Youshi's face still hadn't faded. With a sick look on his face, he took Wang Xifeng's hand and sat down with a grateful expression.

"Look at what sister-in-law said, thank you or not, it's all because sister-in-law Zhen thinks highly of me." Wang Xifeng was calm, coping with it.

"Brother Zhen, sister-in-law, the one month we originally agreed will arrive the day after tomorrow. Seeing that sister-in-law is already well, there is no need to wait for the day after tomorrow. I will settle everything today and I will go back tomorrow. I haven't seen you in a month." Sister Qiao, I miss you very much." Wang Xifeng is a sensible person, seeing You Shi sitting here, how could she not know what she meant, this You Shi is too petty, afraid that she will not be able to control the East Mansion.

"Sister Feng, you just came back from outside today, so you can rest well first. As for the delivery, we will talk about it tomorrow." Jia Zhen hastily stopped her.

"No need, Big Brother Zhen, let's just do it today. After the settlement is clear today, I will go back early tomorrow morning to pay my respects to the old lady." Wang Xifeng didn't want to spend the night in the East Mansion.

In the afternoon, Wang Xifeng handed over the account book and the cards. Jia Zhen asked someone to take 1000 taels of silver and a set of ruby ​​jewelry, and a box of other things as a thank you gift for Sister Feng. After all, it was worth 5000 taels of silver.

Wang Xifeng looked at this set of ruby ​​jewellery, it was exquisitely crafted, and it was a rare good thing. She liked it very much, and planned to save it to make a dowry for Sister Qiao in the future. The dowry is bought only after the marriage proposal, how can there be time to buy it.
