[Red Mansion] February is the season of wishing

In the midst of the vastness, Mrs. Wang vaguely heard the summons from heaven.

She murmured and repeated: "What if the past can be changed?"

Mrs. Wang's life was lackluster.

Parents believe that "a woman is virtuous without talent", and her husband is mediocre and can't fight for orders. Even the son born in October of pregnancy can't support her until she dies.

What if the past could be changed?

If there is, she wants to change too much.

Mrs. Wang, who has read Buddhist scriptures for decades and felt that her heart was still like water, felt turbulent again because of this sentence.

"I hope to change a lot." Mrs. Wang said.

"What do you wish to change?" Tian Yin was ethereal, yet perceptive, "You can try them one by one."

Mrs. Wang's eyes widened in surprise!If she understands correctly...

"I think, first of all, there is a Wang family that allows women in the boudoir to learn something." Mrs. Wang said.

The Wang family is famous, military officers are rising again, and the Great Zhou has been prosperous for a hundred years. The heroic aura of the Wang family, whether male or female, has long since faded away, leaving only the decadent aura of "nobility and nobility" that is dandy and ignorant.

Mrs. Wang, who grew up in such an environment, would naturally have to sink together after marrying into the Jia family, which is also an honorable family.

She hopes that her mother's family will change.

"No problem, let's go."

A strand of wandering soul condenses into a ball and flies into the turmoil of the world of mortals in the illusory world.

The mist parted.

……

"Miss, it's time to get up."

A crisp voice came, and Madam Wang opened her eyes.

The little maid pulled up the brand-new curtain sprinkled with gold and light powder, and helped Mrs. Wang get up.

The maids filed in, holding all the washing utensils in their hands, and a group of people waited for her to wash.

Mrs. Wang looked at the many maids in front of her, because most of them were married to boys later, she was about to forget about them.

She felt a little emotional for a while, and looked a few more times, which made many little maids tremble.

After washing, she sat in front of the dressing table.The maid in charge of dressing saluted.

"The master invited the boudoir master. I arrived at the mansion yesterday. I should go to see her today. How do you want to dress?"

After half a lifetime of training, Mrs. Wang lacked interest in dressing up: "You can just dress up normally."

"It's the first time I've seen you, and it's Master again..." The maid hesitated.

Mrs. Wang thought about it again, it was also the first time I saw her, she was more solemn, and she also said "it's not surprising that many people are polite", so she nodded and allowed the maid to do her best.

After a while, the newly dressed Mrs. Wang stared blankly at herself in the mirror.

The self in the bronze mirror is still young, about seven or eight years old, with some flesh on his face, childish and cute.The eyes are full of affection, and the mood looks a bit like Baoyu.

She was a little apprehensive, but it really happened——

She went back to the past, and there was an extra Mr. Boudoir.

……

When Mrs. Wang went to visit Mr. Wang, she happened to listen to him jokingly saying:

"Women go to school, of course they don't need to study the Four Books and Five Classics. They just need to read some women's Four Books, know the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and be good at etiquette."

The husband's surname is Ruan, and seeing that he is in his thirties, his face is full of peace and tranquility.

Mrs. Wang went in, bowed to Mr. Ruan and the Queen Mother, got a seat, and sat beside her to listen.

Mr. Ruan took a sip of tea, put the teacup on the table, and said to the queen mother with a smile, "The tea is mellow and not astringent, it's good for me."

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "It's not worth anything, as long as you like it." After the politeness, she asked: "It's fine if you learn the Fourth Script for Women, why bother to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" A bit of sex.

"We behave like a well-behaved family, and we learn from everyone. Of course, learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is not to please anyone, but to cultivate sentiment. We have leisure on weekdays, and have a place to spend time. We won't just sit around and go crazy."

The Queen Mother shook her head and sighed: "The housekeeper all day, where is the time?"

Of course the housekeeper doesn't take care of it from morning to night, but Mr. Ruan didn't care about it, he just smiled and said: "In the future, when the house is full of children and grandchildren, I'm afraid that Madam will have to rack her brains to squeeze out some free time."

The words are good words, the Queen Mother said with a smile: "When you hold your grandson, you don't have to worry about it."

After laughing, the topic of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting was diverted.

Not long after, my younger sister—the future Aunt Xue, now the fourth Miss of the Wang family—also came.After saluting each other and having breakfast together, the Queen Mother ordered the two little girls to go together.

Aunt Xue is only four years old now, she is a small ball, staggering along with her husband.

Mrs. Wang looked so cute, she couldn't help being filled with motherly love, she knelt down and asked, "Why is my sister here too?"

Aunt Xue said clearly: "It's not good for my sister to face her husband alone. My sister will accompany my sister."

Mrs. Wang also has concubine sisters, but everyone knows in their hearts that Mr. Guixue often hates the distinction between concubine and concubine.The reputation of the Wang family is "honorable", and a bunch of wives and concubines seems to be a restless house. If the concubine who was not raised in front of the main house also came, the husband would beg to go.

Mrs. Wang is naturally not afraid of being taught alone, but her younger sister's answer is sensible and pleasant, which made her grin and said, "Okay! My sister will accompany my sister too."

"Then...is the younger sister accompanying the younger sister, or the older sister accompanying the younger sister?" The younger sister tilted her head and asked.

Mrs. Wang thought for a while, picked up her sister and smiled and replied, "Accompany each other."

After the words came out of her mouth, she was also amazed how she had the time to coax the children to play. ——Even if it’s my own sister.

"Yeah!"

Seeing the little girl's sincere smile, Mr. Ruan nodded secretly. He didn't have a bad impression of them.

They start learning by recognizing characters.

When Mrs. Wang later sat in the position of the wife of the main house, she used Buddhist scriptures to read all the characters, but now, she wants to play a real little girl who can read a few words.

Bite the bullet, Mrs. Wang walked far away on the way to play the little girl...

……

After studying boudoir for a month, she copied the Three-Character Classic in a "crooked" way, the one with other characters.

After studying boudoir for three months, she "stumbled" and read all the four female books.

After studying boudoir school for half a year, she was able to beat her younger sister in chess.

After studying as a boudoir for a year, she behaves peacefully, speaks with spring breeze, and has rules in every word and deed.

Mr. Ruan said with emotion to the Queen Mother: "Your eldest daughter, you really have nothing to say. She has good talent and good personality. If she is a man, she will definitely make great achievements in the future!"

The Queen Mother said with a smile: "Mr. praised the little girl, let's see later."

Mrs. Wang, who was sitting by the side, sighed deeply. After she learned it, she realized that she had made many mistakes before, and she felt ashamed that her previous life was wasted.

Leaving aside the small things, she only realized that it was not a trivial matter when it came to the payment of interest.

In the past, she only relied on her elder brother to hold an important position in the court, and she had a reliance in her heart, thinking that giving interest money was just an ordinary way for Xungui to raise money.When they were confiscated, they even had the thought that "there is no reason to blame them if they want to impose a crime".

Only now did she truly understand that the power of the monarchy is so powerful that no mercy is tolerated, and it is illegal to lend interest and it is a big mistake.

In front of the royal family, the Wang family is just a small shrimp.

Mrs. Wang has learned humility.

And if you learn well, there is nothing really worthy of praise.The reason why she was praised was partly out of politeness, and partly because she was only eight or nine years old now.

Well, eight or nine years old...

"In the future?" Mr. Ruan asked with a smile: "That's right, she has reached the age where she can see each other. What's Madam's plan?"

The Queen Mother froze for a moment, then waved her hands and smiled: "She is very dull, and she can't win the great fortune of eating people. She can only choose among the young people who are well-matched. They all know the basics, and she will not make it difficult in the future. "

Mrs. Wang sighed in her heart. Indeed, after marrying Jia Cunzhou, she became the second wife of the Jia family, and she was very handy. Even if Jia Cunzhou doted on Aunt Zhao, he could not surpass her decency.

Just because of the words "the right family", she didn't live a very good life, but she definitely couldn't say it was bad.

Mr. Ruan nodded: "The right family is one thing, but on the other hand, the younger generation also needs to be strong..." In the middle of speaking, she looked at Mrs. Wang, smiled and shook her head at the Queen Mother: "Should I let her sit here?"

Mrs. Wang was already fascinated by listening and thinking, when she suddenly woke up!

An unmarried woman cannot listen to her own marriage.That's licentiousness.

It was too late to pretend to be blushing, so she just pretended that she was a daughter who didn't obey her orders and dared not do her own thing, asking for help and looking shyly at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother laughed, and said: "You child, my husband and I have gossiped about that, since you are embarrassed to hear it, tell me, why don't you go to the cubicle to drink tea?"

Mrs. Wang bowed her head in embarrassment, saluted and retreated.

Then, what the Queen Mother and Mr. Ruan talked about was beyond her ability to know.

……

A few days later, when she was preparing to say hello, she vaguely heard her parents arguing.

"The second boy of Jia's family is already a supervisor, and he is willing to make progress... There is also that meaning..."

The voice was a little erratic, and it couldn't be heard very clearly.

Mrs. Wang stood still in the corner by the courtyard.The words were still drifting into her ears.

"The donated prison student... Shenger also..."

The maid next to her was trembling with trepidation and a little bit of anticipation—she was likely to be married as a dowry—and asked in a low voice, "Miss, do you want to go over now to say hello?"

Mrs. Wang looked over calmly and asked, "Why not?"

After finishing speaking, she walked forward until she reached the gate of the courtyard.

It's useless to listen, Mr. Ruan has taught her about marriage, what parents order and matchmaker's words.If her parents decide that she will repeat the marriage process of her previous life, she can only go.

God has already helped her change her childhood, and the next marriage will probably depend on her to change it.

The maid looked at Mrs. Wang's back, felt panic for no reason, and hurriedly followed.

……

Mrs. Wang greeted her parents by the side of the pavilion.

It turned out that the king's father and queen mother were drinking tea in the pavilion in the courtyard, gossiping about their children's marriage, and they quarreled because of disagreements.

After Mrs. Wang came, she couldn't continue the quarrel even if she interrupted her.

However, after all, they disagreed and couldn't keep arguing, but they still haven't vented their anger.

"You don't say it on the face, but the idea in your heart is not small," Father Wang asserted, "Since you are here and heard something, you should also share your thoughts."

Mrs. Wang was stunned, and said for a while: "...how is this possible?"

The Queen Mother snorted, "Treat the child as an adult, where does my daughter have an 'idea'? Don't scare the child!" She hugged Mrs. Wang in her arms, and said softly, "Mother has helped You have seen a few good young people, among them is the boy of Xing Er of the Jia family, mother sees that he has good character and good manners, there is nothing wrong with him!"

"..." Listening to her mother's incoherent words, Mrs. Wang suddenly understood that the ethereal Tianyin just helped her change some things that were too extreme in the past, and it cannot be completely erased, turning the Queen Mother into a dignified and knowledgeable lady. People, let the father of the king become a brave warrior.

Father Wang listened, and said angrily: "What's the use of looking good? Supervising students and supervising students, your youngest son is also a supervising student!"

Mrs. Wang was about to quarrel again, she smiled helplessly: "Father is not in a hurry, drink some tea first, and then talk slowly. So does mother."

She personally brought the tea and handed it over, but the royal father and the queen mother couldn't accept it, and a fight that was about to quarrel was successfully nipped in the bud.

"My daughter understands both my father's meaning and my mother's meaning." Mrs. Wang said, "In a family like ours, it is very rare to be willing to study hard and have the reputation of 'hard work'. It is inevitable that the mother will take a fancy to it. But the meaning of what my father said is also very simple—"

"—How many years has he been in prison? How high did he rank in the previous assessment? Have you ever participated in Chunwei?"

Mrs. Wang's question was very clear, and Father Wang, who suddenly confronted his wife and couldn't explain what he meant, suddenly became enlightened, and said: "I am not familiar with those officials, but I also know that most of Jia Cunzhou's essays are unacceptable. of."

The Queen Mother asked urgently, "Why not?"

"That's right..." Father Wang said, "There is no modification in the text, it's just repeating what the sage said."

The Queen Mother doesn't understand the specific meaning of these words, but this does not prevent her from understanding them. These words are not good.

Naturally, the Queen Mother didn't want her daughter to marry a white person who had no chance to make progress, and she couldn't play her own way in such a big matter, so she said, "That's fine." Then she told her husband, "Look carefully, you must be Pick a good one!"

Father Wang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Of course the old man also has his fancy..."

Seeing that the parents were going to openly discuss the choice of son-in-law in front of their daughter, Mrs. Wang sighed secretly, and hurriedly lowered her head and said, "My daughter will retire first."

Father Wang laughed and said: "Okay, okay, my daughter is sensible and knows that she is going to get married!" After speaking, he laughed even more.

Madam Wang: "..."

Forget it, the father in this life is already much better than the one in the previous life.

At least he didn't only look at men, but turned a blind eye to women.

……

"The Zhang family? His furniture is flattering, and his children and grandchildren are not abundant. Once he was prosperous." Jia Zheng once said.

Mrs. Wang didn't realize Jia Zheng's voice before—after all, she hated each other.

It was the day before the wedding sedan chair, but she remembered it.

In Jia Zheng's tone, there was disgust, aloofness, self-promise...and a hint of envy.

The relationship between the Zhang family and Jia Zheng was vague. Because Jia Daishan went to the Zhang family to marry his daughter for Jia Amnesty, the Zhang family politely suggested after reading Jia Zheng's article that he would not be able to take the imperial examination.

Of course, the Zhang family will still take care of the son-in-law's younger brother.

But the daughter died in the Jia family, leaving no biological children behind.

Among them, the filth can't be clearly distinguished, and the Zhang family simply broke the relationship with the Jia family.

Jia Zheng also hated the Zhang family thoroughly, and said the above comments.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Wang sighed in her heart.

In this life, she actually married into the Zhang family, a scholarly family.

Not to mention the advantages of the Zhang family in the officialdom and other aspects, one of the advantages of Li Zi is that he can only take concubines when he is forty and childless.

She gets married safely, doesn't fight much or grabs, respects each other like a guest, and can live happily ever after for the rest of her life.

As she thought about it, this life really passed like this.

Aunt Xue is still married to the Xue family, but there is no more naughty Xue Pan.After Xue's father passed away, she received relief from the Wang family and the Xue family, got a memorial archway, and raised her children decently.

Mrs. Wang watched Xue Pan marry the daughter of the Zhen family with her own eyes, and added a dowry to Xue Baochai herself.

Her own life was also good, and she and her husband had several pairs of children.The mother-in-law praised her for her good fortune, and her husband didn't take concubines, leaving only two concubines who could not have children.

When her children grew up, they were also sensible and filial, which allowed her to enjoy her old age comfortably.The children and grandchildren were around their knees, and several big fat dolls were laughing and crawling on the blanket together, feeling quite happy.

When resting, the lingering tranquilizing fragrance made her flutter and flicker, so comfortable that her whole body relaxed.

——“What is the second thing you wish to change?”

An ethereal and real voice sounded, as if a basin of cold water was being poured over the head.
