[Red Mansions] Guide to "The Empress of the Wise"

The fifth girl led the two big maids to the main hall. There were many people coming and going, there were many guests and clansmen, and the servants were also busy. The spring equinox and the great cold walked carefully on both sides to protect the girl, fearing that there would be too many people to scare the girl.

Even if the fifth girl arrives, she can't go to the main hall outside to see the big scene where there are so many guests and frequent exchanges.

When we arrived at the main hall of the backyard, we heard chatter and laughter inside before entering the door. It was Mrs. Wang who was entertaining the female relatives who came to celebrate their birthday.When the fifth girl arrived at the door, a little maid opened the curtain and said, "Greetings to the fifth girl." The maid in the room had already gone to complain.

As soon as the fifth girl entered the door, she was dazzled by the splendor and splendor in front of her eyes. What she saw were noble ladies and little daughters who were very grandly dressed. The second wife who helped to entertain the guests smiled and said, "The fifth girl is here, hurry up, give the old lady Ma'am please."

"Second Aunt." The fifth girl bowed her head and blessed her body. She saluted first, and then approached in small steps. She walked up to Mrs. Wang and made a big salute. Today, Shoubi Nanshan, Songhe Changchun."

"Oh, what are you doing with such a great gift, get up, get up." Old Mrs. Wang cried out happily, smiling like a chrysanthemum.

Only then did the fifth girl get up from the ground with a smile, and walked to the place where the sisters were standing next to her.

"Fifth Sister, you just copied the congratulatory message to grandfather." The person who spoke was the eldest daughter of Erfang, and also the eldest daughter of the Wang family's generation. Her voice was clear and melodious, like an oriole, and the jokes made people can't help but smile.

"What big sister said is true. Husband and wife are one. Grandpa's happy life is also grandma's happy life." The fifth girl's voice was neither high nor low, just enough for everyone in the living room to hear.After saying this, she didn't say much, and lowered her head silently.Although the place where she was standing was reserved for the juniors, there were only a few girls as old as the eldest girl standing. The eldest girl was helping her mother receive the daughters of various families who came and went.

"What Wu girl said is reasonable, let's go to the garden and greet all the ladies. The peach blossoms in the garden are also in full bloom, so go." The eldest granddaughter likes to be top-notch on weekdays, but the eldest girl is already at the age of cardamom to discuss marriage, so she can only settle the matter in this way first.

The fifth girl had already learned not to dispute the length of this moment, and she saluted the grandmother and the orders in the living room, and those orders received the meeting gifts from the personal maids one after another to the fifth girl.Mrs. Wang felt that she had spoken too early, and she should have waited for the fifth girl to see each family's order before letting her go to the garden. Now that she is like this, it seems that something really happened.

Miss Wu also ignored Mrs. Wang's wink, accepted the meeting gift and went out.

The fifth girl didn't know that the atmosphere in the living room was awkward after she went out, or the third aunt's long-sleeved and good dance rounded the scene.The servants in the living room knew it well, and they exchanged understanding glances. They had heard that Mrs. Wang and the princess were at odds, but now they had glimpsed the tip of the iceberg, and their own granddaughters could be embarrassing, and the second bedroom was not a good one either.But maybe, maybe someone left by the princess taught the fifth girl?In short, no matter what, the disharmony within the Wang family is true, and the evaluation of the Wang family by the orders of various families is also a little lower.

A little girl who is only five years old can't play anything tall. After the fifth girl went to the garden and introduced herself to the little girl nearby, she sat quietly in the corner drinking flower dew and nodding.As for whether she knew that her behavior had discredited the "Wang family", hehe, she didn't face her parents, and her elder brother didn't particularly care about it. She was raised by her grandmother. If there is anything wrong, grandma will take care of it.

The fifth girl thought willfully.It's not that she doesn't want to be upright, it's just...it's too difficult and she's too weak.The fifth girl suddenly fell into self-loathing. Is it really me that such an unscrupulous person violates her own heart?

The fifth girl complained inexplicably, and the ladies in the garden were indeed relaxed.The eldest daughter of the Wang family is accompanying the elders in the living room. The second daughter is a concubine from the third family, so she doesn't have a strong sense of presence. She entertains the younger sisters with the third girl, a younger sister from the third family. They are only about ten years old, and almost all of them happen to be guests Older girls, even older ones, are all in the living room with the wives of the families. This kind of occasion is a good place for a blind date; if you are young, the family is not worried about bringing them out.The fourth girl in the family is slightly swaying, and she didn't come when she was young. She is a second-bedroom concubine, and now the Wang family is the second-bedroom wife's housekeeper, so how can she think carefully about a concubine.

There are only five girls in the Wang family's generation so far, and the fifth girl is the youngest.Mrs. Wang asked her to come to the garden to play with the little sisters of the same age. Looking around, where is there anyone of the same age?

Fortunately, the fifth girl has learned to be silent.

At any rate, it was in her own home. Miss Wu took her two maids to walk around when she was tired from sitting. The children were all energetic jumping beans. Miss Wu paid more attention to exercise since she fell ill, wandering around in the huge garden , do not feel tired.

The fifth girl walked around the garden silently with the maidservant for a few times, and someone came to inform the banquet to start. These women and children sat at a table by themselves, and there were maids and maidservants from various families to serve them, and they ate a meal. It is also smooth.

The fifth girl also sighed a lot during the meal. Looking at the etiquette and rules, there are children less than ten years old on the table, and the food is already elegant and moving.

After a hectic day, we will see off the guests, and there will be a family dinner in the evening.

The old man and the old lady sat high, and Wang Zisheng took the fifth girl to pay respects to the old man on his birthday. Although the head of the house was not there, the old man did not intend to let the second son and the third son surpass the eldest grandson. In this regard, the old man is smarter than the old lady much.

Then came the second uncle, second aunt, third uncle and third aunt who kowtowed to celebrate the birthday, the eldest daughter from the second uncle's family, the fourth daughter from the concubine, the second young master Wang Zilang, and the sixth young master also kowtowed. The nanny hugged the one who saluted. The Sixth Young Master did not have a name because he was born of a concubine and was young.

The third uncle's family now has the third son, Wang Zipeng, who is born from the descendant, the remaining second daughter is the descendant, the third daughter is the descendant, and the fifth son is the prince.

A row of people kowtowed down, and Mrs. Wang stroked his beard in joy.The fifth girl looked at the five or six elders, more than a dozen brothers and sisters, who were dizzy directly. Thanks to her adventure, otherwise she would be dizzy just remembering people.Even so, Mrs. Wang often lamented that his blood was not abundant, and he wished to compare with a certain family. The master alone had more than 100 people, and one surname occupied the entire street. That would be called prosperity!

After kowtow to celebrate the birthday, it is time to give gifts.The real big head has long been handed over to the servants for filing, and now all the masters hold "hearts" in their hands, which means, mainly to show filial piety.

There are weapons and military books favored by Mrs. Wang, rare medicines for health maintenance, and hand-copied scriptures for prolonging life. The girls are mainly needleworkers.The eldest girl gave clothes, the second girl gave shoes and socks... and so on, when she arrived at the fifth girl, she took some big boxes from Chunshou, walked up to her, and said crisply:

"Grandfather, my granddaughter is young and weak, and she only made two pieces of needlework. I wish my grandfather good luck like the East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan, peace and prosperity, and endless happiness." The eyeball is a small kang screen, a decoration that is only one foot long and half a foot wide. When the fifth girl showed it, Mrs. Wang laughed and was very pleased.

I saw that the four corners of the small kang screen were circled with auspicious cloud patterns in red, and two poems were embroidered on the red silk cloth in the middle: "All commanders are generals, talking and laughing are half Confucian scholars."

"Okay, okay, okay, fifth girl has a heart." Wang Lai called the fifth girl to him, touched her head and asked, "Do you know the source of these two sentences?" It's a servant seeking a trick, today's interest is high, and I'm also trying to test my little granddaughter's meaning.

"I know, it's His Majesty's praise of grandfather."

"Oh, how do you know."

"Big brother told me." Miss Wu tilted her head and looked at his biological brother Wang Zisheng.

"You monkey, when did you tell your fifth sister?" Mrs. Wang pulled Wang Zisheng and asked with a smile.

"Grandson doesn't know either?" Wang Zisheng himself was also curious, and said, "Fifth sister, when did I say that?"

Just by addressing them, Miss Wu felt a little cold. She really didn't realize that the two were brothers and sisters. Miss Wu said innocently and cutely, "It was when Big Brother taught me how to read last time."

Wang Zisheng smiled and said: "So it's like this, Fifth Sister is really smart, I just said it once and remembered it."

The fifth girl smiled without saying a word, she tilted her head and looked at Mrs. Wang. She also knew that Mrs. Wang would not object to people reading more after reading the emperor's comment. Otherwise, the old lady didn't like her very much, so how could she dare? Take the risk of offending the old man again.

"Good girl." Mrs. Wang stroked Miss Wu's head and said, "Since you have this talent, don't waste it, and invite two female masters to teach you."

Mrs. Wang smiled.

"Grandfather, when will the master come?" Miss Wu was afraid that after passing through this village, she would be dragged away by Mrs. Nei Zhai's words.

"Hey, you little girl is still dedicated to learning! Come on, grandfather sent people to search carefully, before the female master comes, you should learn from your elder brother first." Old Mrs. Wang laughed.

"Master, how can this be done? Brother Sheng is a serious scholar. It's a big deal." Mrs. Wang immediately objected, no one is more important than his grandson.

"Grandmother said, grandfather, anyway, our family has a teacher, I will go to school with my brother, just listen in, and don't disturb him." The fifth girl immediately tried to get a chance to go to school, and said while opening her eyes. With big round eyes, she shook Mrs. Wang's arm and acted like a baby.

"I'm afraid of you, go, go, fortunately your elder brothers invited the husband alone." Mrs. Wang stroked his beard and smiled. The fifth girl is young, and the master who teaches the young masters to be serious in the imperial examination is old, so she is the fifth girl. His grandfather made it so naturally he didn't have so many scruples.

"Thank you, grandfather, you are very kind." The fifth girl took advantage of the situation and acted like a baby in the arms of the old man Wang, promising not to delay the "brothers"'s great cause of study.
