Ten Miles of Spring Breeze in Red Mansions

The eldest son of Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian was named Xuan, and the whole family called him Brother Xuan.

This day, Ping'er was coaxing Brother Xuan in the courtyard. He liked being hugged and walked around, and would cry when he stopped. Ping'er watched Brother Xuan yawn, as if he was going to sleep. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and prepared to carry him into the house.

Seeing this, Xiaohong laughed, "Let me hug you, so Sister Ping'er can rest too."

She is the only daughter of Lin Zhixiao's family, Wang Xifeng just wanted to have a girl in the courtyard, so her parents arranged for her to come in, she is quick-witted and eloquent, Wang Xifeng likes it a lot.

Seeing that she was loyal to Sister Feng, Ping'er looked up at her a few times, and taught her carefully in many things on weekdays. Hearing this, he smiled and handed Brother Xuan to her, "Be careful, he is very heavy now."

"Fortunately, I have some strength." Xiaohong let Brother Xuan grab a strand of her hanging hair, and shook him lightly, "Going to sleep soon."

Qingwen stepped into the gate of the courtyard, and was about to call for someone, when she saw Xiaohong was a baby in her arms, she stopped her mouth in time, and said softly, "Sister Ping'er, Xiaohong is here too."

"Sister Qingwen is a rare visitor." Xiaohong smiled at everyone, and she was very popular.

"As slaves, we don't have the time to run around like this." Qingwen carried a bag in her hand, "I made some needlework for Brother Xuan, even if grandma would hate it, I dare not bring it."

"What are you talking about? No one in the whole house knows that you are good at piercing flowers. Wait a minute, I will report to grandma." Ping'er opened the curtain to enter the room, and came out in a moment, "grandma Please let Miss Qingwen come in."

Wang Xifeng was sitting on the kang looking through the account books. Yingchun is not too young. She might get married in the next two years, and she doesn't know how to deal with the dowry. After paying off the treasury money, there is nothing else for her besides their own private houses. do dowry.

Thinking about it is really sad.

Fortunately, this is the only thing I care about. Xichun is in charge of the Dongfu, and Tanchun is not her own girl.

She heard Qingwen's voice asking for peace, and looked her up and down with a smile. Qingwen has been deeply influenced by Xueque in recent years. It's just that she is born well, and a half-new light green shirt can also look a little bit coquettish and pretty.

Wang Xifeng saw that she was dressed clumsily, and her temper was not the same as before. She felt that this girl was interesting, and asked her, "I saw that she rewarded you and Sheyue with two silk jackets at the old lady's place yesterday. I don't see you wearing it. I've seen this one on my body many times, what's the matter with you? Are you still hiding it until the Chinese New Year?"

Qingwen carried her bundle and said, "Servant servants serve people, so what can you do if you wear them like this, not to mention that even if you wear them, they can't compare to Second Mistress's charm, so I don't want to play tricks on you."

"Tsk tsk, look at this mouth." Wang Xifeng pointed out, "It's really improved."

If Qingwen still looks like the deputy lady in Jiamu's house, Mrs. Xing will be the first to spare her, not to mention Wang Xifeng.Jia Baoyu is no longer the master of Jia's family, and being his servant girl would be worth a lot of money.

Ping'er said, "Take out what's in your hand and let me have a look. If it's not done well, it will be thrown out."

Only now did Wang Xifeng notice the burden, which was quite heavy, "Why did you do so much?"

"I'm afraid you won't like it. I'll keep it when I'm done. That's all I've saved up." Qingwen unpacked the burden on the kang, and there were a few small bags inside, including belly pockets, tiger-head shoes, and tiger-head hats. These.

"It's really well done." Wang Xifeng took a tiger-toed shoe and looked at it carefully, "Is this beard tied with wire?"

"Yes, it's wrapped with iron wire, otherwise it won't be able to straighten up, but I specially wrapped a lot of cloth around it, so the wire won't stick out."

"You have a heart." Wang Xifeng smiled half a smile, "Do you have something to ask me?"

Qingwen was a little nervous, and took two deep breaths, "It's true to do needlework for Brother Xuan, and it's true to ask Second Mistress for help."

"Tell me and let me listen."

"The servant wants to redeem her body in a few years and let her go out...to marry someone." Qingwen mustered up her courage and said, Xueque will take off her slave status and marry a man in the near future, and she will marry a shopkeeper of the Lin family's shop. Xueque said that she will replace Qing If Wen finds a good family, she won't have to be a maid anymore.

Others said that Qingwen didn't believe it, but Xueque said that she believed that Xueque was really planning for herself.Qingwen is good-looking, if a man falls in love with her, even she, a slave, can't refuse, so she might as well ask the second mistress earlier.

Wang Xifeng squinted her eyes, and looked at Qingwen again. It took a lot longer than before, and Qingwen felt chills behind her, "Second...Second Grandma..."

"You little girl, you don't even have any relatives except that Bao Er. Who are you going to marry after you redeem yourself? Don't you already have a crush on someone?"

"No." Qingwen blushed with embarrassment, and told the whole story about Xueque.

"It's fate, you are so good with her." Wang Xifeng said, "That's not surprising, I heard Sister Lin said that her maids are going to be released to marry."

Qingwen gritted her teeth, knelt down and said, "I also ask the second grandma to help you."

"You are ambitious, but let me tell you the truth. The old lady has long planned to make you Baoyu's aunt. This is the master. Are you still willing to go out?"

Qingwen shook her head, and was about to say that she disdained to be a concubine, when she remembered that Ping'er was standing beside her, she was just a housewife, worse than her concubine, wouldn't she offend others by saying this, and she didn't look down on Ping'er Son meaning.

She thought for a while and said, "The servant does not want to be an aunt."

"Oh? You don't think much of Baoyu anymore? What about Second Master? I'll treat you as I treat Ping'er, okay?" Wang Xifeng interrupted her.

Qingwen's face was still blushing, "Second Mistress, don't make fun of the servant girl. The servant girl can't even match a single strand of Sister Ping'er's hair. It shouldn't be said. If Second Mistress Bao and I have peace with Second Mistress The affection of sister Er and sister is worth it even if they don't go out in this life."

"Listen, this is a betrayal of Ping'er." Wang Xifeng laughed, looked at Ping'er and said, "It's not like she won't go out in her life, I agree with this. Next month I will serve wine to Sheng Ping'er to be my aunt , you have to come and congratulate her. We are not greedy, you skillfully make her a new dress and just wear it when the time comes, I will provide the materials."

Qingwen immediately agreed, thanking Enfu and congratulating Ping'er.

Ping'er was already stunned, and when Qingwen was sent away, Wang Xifeng didn't come back to her senses. When had Wang Xifeng seen this arm lose his composure, and kept laughing, "Second master is not so scary, is he? Is it because he treats you not gentle or treats you well?" Too scary?"

"What did grandma say..."

"That's me?"

Ping'er's eye circles were red, "How could it be?"

"I know you used to want to get married and be a good couple, but it's a pity that you met me, Wang Xifeng, so just accept your fate." Wang Xifeng took her hand and sat down by the kang, "I didn't have a brother before, and I also guarded against you." I mean, Brother Xuan has it now, these are meant for you, although it is a bit late, don't worry, I will definitely give you a big face."

Ping'er has been caught between Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian for many years, and every time Jia Lian wants to touch her, she is afraid that Wang Xifeng will be jealous, and nine times out of ten she wants to shirk, so she has been cautious until today.

Wang Xifeng suddenly brought up the matter of his aunt today, and he said it in front of Qingwen, she was afraid that Wang Xifeng would take revenge on her, so she didn't dare to respond.

"You damn girl, I'm going to talk about it, but you're being hypocritical." Wang Xifeng nodded her forehead, "No matter what you say, the matter is settled like this."

After Jia Lian came back, Wang Xifeng told him about the matter, and Jia Lian looked at her suspiciously for a while, "I'll go out and see where the sun will come out today."

"Come back, is it possible that Ping'er is not worthy of the second master?"

Thinking of Ping'er's gentleness and carelessness, Jia Lian laughed quickly, "Grandma said she deserves it, so she deserves it. As for my son, I'm going to see our son."

Wang Xifeng pouted her mouth towards the west chamber, "Ping'er is coaxing and playing."

Jia Lian raised his foot to leave, but saw Wang Xifeng's slightly jealous face, turned back and kissed her on the cheek, "Second Grandma is virtuous, Xiaosheng thanked her for this."

Wang Xifeng was both happy and sour in his heart, he waved his hands and said, "Go, go."

Mrs. Xing has nothing to do with the matter of raising Ping'er, she is not her own, so she can't control Jia Lian's house, "Just look at it. Ping'er is a stable person, no more than some foxy sons and demons." Delicate."

He even ordered someone to take a golden hairpin to Ping'er.

Wang Xifeng was naturally happy to see Mrs. Xing giving Ping'er face in this way. She happily hugged her son and talked with Mrs. Xing for a while. Mrs. Xing was a little absent-minded, and suddenly said, "That bitch is laughing again. In the waves of the night, she probably doesn’t even need an oar to go rowing.”

Wang Xifeng almost burst out laughing, thinking that this clumsy wife would have such witty words, she listened intently for a while, and there was indeed a shrill laugh, but it was very soft, and you couldn't hear it if you didn't listen carefully, it can be seen that Mrs. Xing What is the point of hatred.

"Who is this so unruly?"

Mrs. Xing from Wang Shanbao's family replied, "Isn't it just Qiutong's cheap hoof, the master has been pampering him for a few days, and he doesn't even pay attention to his wife. He is always acting like a monster."

Mrs. Xing suddenly said, "Girl Feng, what can you do to deal with this bitch?"

"Me?" Wang Xifeng wondered, "I'm the daughter-in-law, how can I manage the public housing?"

"Of course I know this, just to let you have an idea."

Wang Xifeng couldn't do anything for a while, "Madam, let me think about it."

If such a person came out of her place, it would be fine to just beat them up and sell them off, but Mrs. Xing is filling the house and has no family background to back her up. Prestige, she would never dare to sell Jia She's favored maidservant.

Suddenly she thought of a way, "Madam, just call her crazy, it's better to be crazy, isn't Ping'er going to carry my aunt, and then tell her to go and argue with the master to carry my aunt."

Recently, Jia She and Lin Ruhai got very close. He heard from Jia Lian that Jia She wanted to follow Lin Ruhai's path and find him an errand, but it never worked out. Jia She was not in a good mood and scolded Jia Lian several times.

At this time, the little bitch went to make a noise without understanding, and Jia She told her to leave if she couldn't say it.

Mrs. Xing hesitated, "What if the master really mentioned her as an aunt?"

"I'm really not afraid. Ma'am, think about it, which of the concubines in the yard is still liked by the master after mentioning the aunt? How did our second girl's biological mother, Brother Cong's biological mother, get there?"

Jia She is lustful, and he likes wives better than concubines, and concubines are worse than stealing.

Sure enough, Mrs. Xing ordered a few maids to tease Qiutong quietly a few times, and she was really proud of her favor, and quarreled with Jia She.

Jia Lian's errand has not yet been completed, Lin Ruhai also reminded Jia She a few times, telling him not to be too obsessed with women, Jia She saw that this woman was not interested, so he just told him to gag and drag him on.

Going to scold Mrs. Xing again, "Would you still be a housekeeper and let such a maid come and jump up and down here. Are there any rules?"

Mrs. Xing slandered in her heart, didn't you just like this girl to dance before, and said with a sad face, "Master, forgive me, I just sent her to the Zhuangzi, and I will call everyone in the courtyard to reprimand me tomorrow, and I promise I won't do it again." There is such a thing."

It is best to scold one or both of them for not daring to crawl on the bed again.

The Jia family has gradually changed from a prosperous and prosperous family to a pragmatic family. I have to say that Master Lin is also relieved. Lin Daiyu's maternal ancestral family is willing to know each other, which is better than the noisy one before.

It's just that Lin Daiyu is still not allowed to go to Jia's house. Jia She's family is sensible, but the old lady doesn't understand.

Lin Yuan had already gone to the capital to participate in the Spring Festival, and on the day the announcement was made, Lin Ruhai and the Minister of Rites who came to visit were playing chess in the study.
