The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

Now it is only said that Xiangling changed from a lowly concubine to a good concubine with the help of Jia's mother, and found Shengsheng's mother, so that the mother and daughter were finally reunited, and a period of concern was settled.There is nothing wrong with being naturally happy.

On the other side, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai thought about it, because they thought that this matter was brought about by Jia's mother. Besides, Jia's mother is the most compassionate and sympathetic to the poor. After discussing with Xue Pan, the female colleague took out some money to settle Feng's child—this also meant that he didn't want Feng's child to live in Jia's house for a long time and be rejected by others, and he didn't want Feng's living in Jinghuayuan to be criticized by others.

The Xue family used to be the family of the imperial merchants, and the family was rich in millions.Later, Xue's father died, leaving only widows and young children in Xue's family, all of whom were unsophisticated in economics, so they were given jobs by the family and the shopkeepers expired.After the Xue family's mother and daughter came to Beijing, because of Xue Pan's beating to death, they spent more and more money to eliminate disasters. In the end, they were even deprived of their jobs in the household department.After several times of tossing, it is no longer what it used to be.However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, no matter how tight the Xue family is, they are not the kind of people who can't take care of them, so it will not take much effort to resettle the Feng family at this moment.

That idiot Xue had learned earlier that Xiangling had found her mother's family and might be taken away. He was very sad and had a big fight with his mother and sister. Apart from being depressed, he secretly scolded You's family for meddling in their own business.After scolding, he regretted that he shouldn't vent his anger on his mother and sister.When I woke up the next day, I had to explain and coax him in every possible way.He was originally a rough person, and he didn't know how to say sweet words, he only knew how to spend a lot of money to buy things to make his mother and sister happy.For a while, I have to tailor new clothes for my mother and sister, and for a while, I have to fry gold necklaces for Baochai.Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai couldn't bear the disturbance, so they had to say: "Just stop for a while. If you don't bow to me for a while, why did you say such suffocating words yesterday?"

Xue Pan coaxed a foolish smile on his face, rubbed his hands together and said, "Didn't you get angry yesterday, that's why you spoke unrestrictedly. Mom and sister know my temper, so you just have to bear with me."

The Xue family's mother and daughter saw Xue Pan's appearance like a knife, but there was nothing they could do.After pondering for a long time, he could only say: "If you are serious about remorse, I will tell you one thing, and you just agree to it."

Hearing this, Xue Pan thought that Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were going to bring up the old matter of sending Xiangling away again, so he said unwillingly, "Just say it."

But he secretly thought that even if he sent Xiangling away now, he would still find a way to snatch her back.

But I don't know that when Aunt Xue opened her mouth, what she said was to arrange a house for Feng's children.

Xue Pan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but soon came back to his senses, and learned that the beauty would not leave, and his family would just spend a few taels of money to help resettle his mother-in-law, Xue Pan was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly went around They searched for houses all over the streets and alleys outside, and finally bought a house in Xiaohuazhi Lane, which is only two miles away from Rongning Street.It is most appropriate to house Feng's children and a few maids.

That Xue Pan not only bought the house, but also bought all kinds of furniture and decorations, but after about a month or so, he made all the arrangements for the affairs, and also brought the child of the Feng family from Rongguo Mansion to Xiaohuazhi Lane, and met with his own eyes. seen it already.

The child of the Feng family never thought that he would find his daughter to enjoy his old age after experiencing his daughter being kidnapped, his house being burned, his father-in-law going crazy, and his family's disgust causing him to be homeless in his later years.Immediately excited speechless.After returning to Lixiangyuan, he thanked everyone in the Xue family with tears in his eyes and kept chanting Buddha.

Later, she was led by Xue's mother and daughter to pay her respects to the old lady.Feng did not forget to thank the old lady.After hearing Feng's words, all the female family members of Jia's family knew that Feng's family was happy to move in, so they had to prepare congratulatory gifts for them.Sister Feng peeped into Jia Mu's mind, and said with a smile: "It is not only the reunion of mother and daughter, but also the joy of housewarming, and the filial piety of the son-in-law. All these things are worth celebrating."

Before Sister Feng finished speaking, Aunt Xue laughed and said, "It's such a great event, so we should celebrate it. We also want to take advantage of the housewarming day to have fun with drinking and singing. I just don't know the old lady Will the wives, grandmas and girls show you face?"

When Sister Feng heard the words, she didn't wait for anyone else to speak, and said, "I don't care about others, I will definitely go. Even the congratulatory gifts have been delivered, if I don't go to eat to return to the banquet, I will be at a loss?"

Before he finished a sentence, he coaxed everyone to laugh.Pointing to Sister Feng, Jia Mu smiled and said, "Look at her mouth, no one can really say she's good."

Seeing this, Sister Feng walked up to Jia Mu and sat down beside Jia Mu, putting her arms around Jia Mu's arm and "whispered" and said: "Don't talk about me, old lady. Your gift is the most generous, and you should go too." If not, it will be cheaper for them..."

Before Sister Feng had finished speaking, Jia Mu laughed again for a while.Putting her arms around Sister Feng, she said: "You are a narrow-minded ghost, and your aunt is also calculating like this. I'm not afraid that your aunt will laugh at the wives and grandmas in our house who are stingy."

Aunt Xue immediately smiled and said, "How can it be? If the old lady can come, it will be a face to us, and it will make people happier than any gift."

After hearing this, Jia's mother said, "Since that's the case, I'll give it a face. I'll just tell us sooner or later when we have a housewarming banquet."

Aunt Xue laughed and said, "The fifth day of the next month will be an auspicious day. It is advisable to break ground and move out. If old ladies, grandmas, and girls have time, please show me your time."

When everyone heard the words, they naturally smiled.

Since Feng's family went to Beijing to find a daughter, they still entrusted Third Sister You to take care of them, so this time Xue's housewarming, it was inevitable to send invitations to You's family.

At that time, Third Younger Sister You was busy handling the accounts for the next year, but Mrs. Chen was chatting with the old lady in the upper room, and discussing Miss Fourth's marriage by the way.Hearing that Xue's family sent someone to invite An to deliver the post, Mrs. Chen thought it had something to do with Xiangling.After seeing the mother-in-law of the Xue family who delivered the letter, and knowing that the purpose of inviting the banquet was to resettle the house for Xiangling's mother, she couldn't help celebrating the joy of housewarming.The old lady You also asked a few gossips, and when she learned about the ups and downs of Xiangling's mother and daughter, she had to sigh along with her.Waiting to send the Xue family away, he laughed at Chen Shi: "Sure enough, they are vulgar merchants who don't know the rules. It's just a house for my concubine's mother, and it's worth such a big fanfare. I heard It is said that when their family took concubines, they also set up wine and sang operas to announce to the world. I didn’t know that there are still sons in the world who have not married wives, so they rush to take concubines first? In my opinion, that concubine is also a There are means. Otherwise, how can I coax that family to treat her like this? I really don’t know whose daughter will be married to their family in the future, and some people will be angry if they dote on their concubines and destroy their wives.”

Mrs. Chen smiled when she heard the words, she could only smile to Old Madam You and said, "I've met that girl named Xiangling a few times, and she's not bad. It would be a pity to be paired with that idiot Xue."

The old lady You snorted coldly when she heard the words, and said, "Whether this person is good or not depends on his fate. If his fate is not good, he won't count even if he boasts. I don't want to reason. Please invite me tomorrow." I'm not going either. I can't afford to lose this person."

After finishing speaking, he said to Mrs. Chen: "You are not allowed to go either. You are not allowed to ask the third sister to go. It is a good way to ruin our family's clean reputation."

Which family's decent female family members want to associate with other family's concubines?In particular, the Xue family is still a family of merchants, and it is useless to say that the lintel is lowered.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen couldn't confront Mrs. You, so she could only smile and said, "Of course I know what the old lady means. It's just that this matter was done by the three maids. Now, their mother and daughter Reunion, Sanya should go to have a glass of thanksgiving wine. If the old lady doesn't like it, I just ask Sanya to go. But since the post is sent, we don't have to ignore it—at least there is something involved in it The Rongguo Mansion is also the sister-in-law of the eldest girl after all. In my opinion, when that day comes, our You family will still send congratulatory gifts, and the third sister will just ask the third sister to take care of her illness and pay it back."

When Mrs. You heard that Mrs. Chen mentioned the Rongguo Mansion, she couldn't help asking: "What do you mean, the old ladies and wives of the Rongguo Mansion will also go there?"

Mrs. Chen said: "That's natural. Not only the old ladies, but also the grandmas and girls and the older girls' mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will also go. I heard that Ms. Lin and Ms. Shi's family will also go, just to join in the fun."

The old lady You's heart skipped a beat, because the eldest girl married into the Ningguo Mansion, the son-in-law also helped You Ziyu's future.Mrs. You was very concerned about this marriage.He was even more unwilling to offend the members of the Jia family.Now hearing that Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Xing and the two wives of Mrs. Xing and the girls from the mansion are also going, Mrs. You can't help but loosen her mind.He smiled in his mouth and said: "Since that's the case, it's just that my family is looking for an opportunity to be lively. If we seriously don't go, it will seem unfamiliar."

Chen just smiled and didn't answer.

After thinking about it, Mrs. You finally decided to go.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen smiled even more.
