[Red Mansion] Yinglian should not be pitiful

After Xu Zhen left, the water in Gusu's pond, where some bad shrimp, fish and crabs had been fished, gradually returned to its former calm.Speaking of which, even though she moved from the back house of the Gusu Mansion to the newly rebuilt Zhen Mansion, Yin Lian didn't feel that life was any different from before.It's nothing more than more abiding by the dogma of the boudoir and realizing what the world says.

Calculating the time, Zhen Shiyin has not heard from her for half a year. Feng Shi was already three months pregnant before Zhen Shiyin disappeared, and now she is almost on the verge of giving birth.

After all, Feng's age, although Yin Lian, a girl who has just stepped into the threshold of cultivation, often secretly conveys spiritual power, but this child, Feng's pregnancy is still quite difficult, and in the late pregnancy, Feng's basically stays in bed to raise the baby.

At present, the mistress of the Zhen family is bedridden to raise her baby, and the housekeeper right of the newly rebuilt Zhen family has been taken over by the Zhen Li family.It's just that Mrs. Zhen Li is getting old after all, and she always has trouble dealing with these trivial matters. Therefore, she has to ask the rather clever Jiao Xing to help her and do some errands, which are very dignified.

This day, Yin Lian got up early as usual and went to the courtyard where Mrs. Zhen Li lived. After having breakfast with the old lady, Yin Lian was taken by Ru Liu to do some needlework together. Used to pass the time.

Since Feng's family is about to give birth and the crops on Zhuangzi have not yet been harvested, whether there is any extra money in the family to buy some expensive cloth and other things, some commonly used clothes such as baby clothes, shoes and socks are all provided by the good. Ru Liu, the needleworker, was preparing, and Yin Lian followed Ru Liu, just doing some handy work.

"Sister Lian, have you seen that piece of lotus root-colored muslin? I calculated the size, and it can just be used to make a pair of tiger-toed shoes for my little brother."

According to Yin Lian's words, she found the lotus root-colored muslin that Ru Liu had mentioned in a pile of rags of different sizes and handed it to Ru Liu, then folded the rags together so that they could be glued with rice paste. Paste it into a thousand cloth layers that can be used to hold insoles.

At this moment, Jiao Xing suddenly raised the curtain and walked in, and said in a low voice. "Old man Feng came to the mansion in person and said that he had something to discuss with his wife, but Sister Lian also knows how his wife is now, how can she meet outsiders. What if the old man's words are not very pleasant and make his wife emotional Come on, that's why the old lady specially asked me to come and inform Sister Lian, and Sister Lian will go to see Old Man Feng."

The old man Jiao Xing was talking about was Yin Lian's snobbish grandfather Feng Su. The reason why Mrs. Zhen Li asked Jiao Xing to tell Yin Lian and let Yin Lian take full control of it was because Yin Lian had been doing nothing these days. Precocious.Mrs. Feng was bedridden to raise a baby, Mrs. Zhen and Li had been widowed for many years, and it was inconvenient to see guests, so after thinking about it, I had to tell Yin Lian, who was still a girl, to come and receive Mr. Feng.

The small courtyard where Yin Lian lives is named Wuxianyuan. It is small and exquisite. There are six houses in total in the front hall and back. Quiet.There is a small gate in the southwest corner of Wuxian Xiaoyuan, which leads to a narrow road, and when you go out of the narrow road, you are on the east side of the main house where Mrs. Zhen Li lives.

Yin Lian led Ru Liu and Jiao Xing through the aisle to the main room.As soon as she stepped into the front hall of the main house, she saw Zhen Li Shi, who was supported by two maids in red and green, slightly smoothed out her frosty and silvery temple hair, and said to Feng Su who was restless beside him: " Father-in-law, this is Sister Lian who was found the year before last. She is a very intelligent person. Since the old man's wife was bedridden to support the baby, although the old man has taken the key to the warehouse, many matters in the family are handled by Sister Lian. Idea. So father-in-law, if you have anything to say, just tell Sister Lian, Sister Lian can make the decision."

After listening to Zhen Li's words, Feng Su became more and more restless, sweat dripped from his forehead, and made him even weaker. "Sister Lian of our family is so handsome, I'm afraid she can't even compare to the fairy boy in the New Year's painting!"

Feng Su opened his mouth, but said flattering words, until Yin Lian, who had always lowered her head slightly and looked extraordinarily dignified and virtuous, raised her eyebrows high.This Feng Su was afraid that he had something difficult to say, so he said these words as soon as he opened his mouth to compliment a child.

Yin Lian squinted her eyes and smiled, and after saying hello to Feng Su, she said calmly. "Grandfather was joking, and granddaughter Pu Liu's appearance is still compared to Xiantong."

Feng Su smiled awkwardly, but said. "A few days ago when the new county magistrate took office, Sister Lian, your aunt went to the street to buy thread, and saw a county magistrate in a sedan chair carrying a black hat and scarf gown. Your aunt was taken aback, and when she came back, she said the new The county magistrate who came here was so kind-hearted, as if he had seen it somewhere before. Your uncle Ben laughed at your aunt and said, no matter which government you look at with your shallow eyelids, you have a kind face. But who knows, when you are about to rest at night, Suddenly I heard someone knocking on the locked door, and when your uncle went out to see him, he only heard the person who knocked on the door say that the magistrate of the county sent someone to question him."

Speaking of this, Feng Su stopped to take a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then continued: "At first, I thought it was a disaster, but who would have thought that when I arrived at the county government office in a state of anxiety, the county magistrate would actually say that he would talk to his son-in-law?" Shi Yin is an old friend, although during Chinese New Year, I met your aunt at Zhen's house, so I was invited to ask about Shi Yin's recent situation!"

Hearing this, Yin Lian glanced at it calmly, and Feng Su, who seemed to be happy, secretly guessed what Feng Su liked, then pursed her lips and said with a smile.

"When something happened to the Zhen family, it would be good to have an old friend to talk about. Of course, it would be better if we could help find my father." Yin Lian felt that the magistrate that Feng Su spoke of was a bit malicious, so she lost her mind Going around in circles with Feng Su, when Feng Su was flirting and didn't know what to say, Yin Lian turned to look at Mrs. Zhen Li, and said with a smile.

"Seeing that grandma looks a little tired, but are you tired?"

Zhen Li was originally an old man, so she naturally guessed what Yin Lian meant by saying this, so she rubbed her forehead with her hands, looking extremely sleepy. Seeing this, Yin Lian curled her lips again, and smiled lightly.

"Ziqiong, Yunxiao, hurry up and help grandma into the house to rest."

Ziqiong and Yunxiao are the two maids who supported Zhen Li's family earlier, they are ordinary in appearance, but they are more dignified.After hearing Yin Lian's order, the two told Feng Su that they were rude, and then helped Zhen Li to go.

After the three of them left the front hall, Feng Su seemed to have lost the previous embarrassment, he first smiled in a relaxed manner, and then said to Yin Lian. "Good granddaughter, is it really inconvenient for your mother to see me!"

"Grandfather, please forgive me. Mother is getting old, and it is difficult to conceive this child. Naturally, she must take care of it carefully." Yin Lian took a sip of tea, her appearance was elegant and dignified: "Grandfather, what do you want to tell me?" It's the same!"

Without Mrs. Zhen and Li by his side, Feng Su lost the restraint he had before, and simply explained his intention of coming.It turns out that the newly appointed county magistrate, surnamed Jia Minghua, styled Yucun, was originally from Huzhou. He once stayed at Zhen's house and was helped by Zhen Shiyin. It is indeed Zhen Shiyin's old acquaintance.It's just... Yin Lian showed a sarcasm smile, there is no reason why old friends and old acquaintances would miss the personal servant girl who served by the side of the old friend's first wife.

Yin Lian calmly sent off Feng Su who had come to intercede for Jia Yucun, tilted her head and looked at Jiao Xing calmly, and found that although she was not very pretty, she was also charming... ..

Moreover, after hearing about Jia Yucun's proposal to marry her as the second wife, the blush on Jiao Xing's face never faded, Yin Lian also guessed from her expression that she was most likely willing to marry Jia Yucun as the second wife.After all, Jia Yucun is an official now, even if she becomes a concubine with him, it can be regarded as flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix.

Seeing this, Yin Lian smiled again and asked. "How did Sister Jiao Xing know Mr. Jia County!"

Hearing Yin Lian's question, Jiao Xing held back her shyness, and hurriedly told Yin Lian how she met Jia Yucun.Jiao Xing knew Yin Lian's intelligence, so she didn't dare to hide anything, and explained the whole process in detail.

That day, Yucun, who was staying at Zhen's house, was flipping through books to relieve boredom, when he suddenly heard a woman coughing outside the window.Yucun got up one by one and looked out the window, and saw Jiao Xing picking flowers among the flowers in the courtyard.Jiao Xing felt that someone was looking directly at her through the window, so she was about to turn around to avoid it.When I left, I couldn't help looking back at Jia Yucun because I thought of what Zhen Shiyin said 'this person is not a person who has been in trouble for a long time'.Presumably it was Jiao Xing's look back, which made Jia Yucun think that Jiao Xing was interested in him.

Yin Lian listened to Jiao Xing's reason, she just stared at Jiao Xing's facial features without speaking.Obviously studying Jiao Xing's face.In fact, Yin Lian had seen Ru Liu and Jiao Xing's faces and fates as early as when she returned to Zhen's house.Ruliu has a simple and honest appearance, and in terms of fate, he is also a loyal and single-minded person.As for this Jiao Xing's face and fate, she is rather lucky, unwilling to be humble, and she is higher than the sky.

Yin Lian was still puzzled at the beginning, where should be Jiao Xing's expensive luck, since Zhen Shiyin lost the news, Gusu Zhen's family has no men to support the front, leaving only women, old and young, who can make Jiao Xing The noble luck came true, and what happened today, Yin Lian thought, Jia Yucun must be responsible for this delicate fate.

As for Jia Yucun...

Yin Lian frowned, feeling bad about this guy who only heard his name but never met him.On the one hand, there is a feeling of displeasure at the fact that he misses his biological mother Feng Shi's personal servant girl, and on the other hand, it is an intuitive dislike...

Jia Hua - a lie, Jia Yucun - fake stupid...

Chewing on the homonym of Jia Yucun's name, Yin Lian suddenly pursed her lips and smiled.If there is a chance, she will definitely meet this county magistrate who is a little different no matter whether it is his name or his characters, and see if he lives up to his name, full of lies, seemingly stupid but fake stupid!
