Sister Xue of the Red Chamber

Xue Baochai went to Jia Mansion as she wished, once Grandma Liu entered Rongguo Mansion

The Wang family originally wanted to go to Wang Ziteng, but firstly, Baochai was thinking about the status of the Rongguo Mansion and strongly urged him to go to Mrs. Wang, and secondly, this Wang Ziteng was not stupid. The two emperors, Qianlong and Qianlong, reprimanded her. When she received the letter from Wang's family that she was going to Beijing, she immediately handed over the sign, full of snot and tears.

Wang Ziteng's official position is also rewarded, and he is a fifth-rank infantry military academy.Although there is a confused girl, she is cautious after all, and with the beatings from time to time over the years, she can be called "a good official".Qianlong summed it up, and it seems that it is time to take advantage of this time to promote Wang Ziteng's official rank.

So, when Wang's mother and daughter were about to enter Beijing, they heard that Prince Teng had been promoted to the fourth-rank Taoist platform, and he had already left Beijing by order.

Wang sighed in her heart, she couldn't stay in Jinling any longer, all the shops in Jinling had been discounted, and because of the rush to sell, people pressed down a lot of prices.I thought that after entering the capital, I would be able to rely on my elder brother's strength to set up a few good shops, but I didn't know that my elder brother had already been promoted and left the capital before he arrived in the capital!If there is no income, it will not work. If you are in a hurry to look at the shop right now, I am afraid that someone will raise the price.

Because of a discussion with Baochai, "When we come to Beijing, we should visit relatives and friends first. Now we don't have any income in the capital, so I'm afraid we have to borrow a relative's house. Or at your uncle's house, or at your uncle's house." , the houses of his two families are extremely cheap."

Baochai was thinking that now that his uncle was out of Beijing, he could go to the Rongguo Mansion, so he hurriedly said: "Now that my uncle has been promoted and is going to other provinces, the family may still be in a hurry. If you go, don't you wink."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang really said, "Although your uncle has been promoted to go to work, there is still your aunt's house. Besides, in the past few years, your aunt often brought letters and books, and wanted to pick us up. Now that we are here, we Your aunt and sister have been apart for the past few years, but they have to stay together for a few days. Now I will take you to your aunt's house, how about you?"

Baochai was very happy, and they ordered their husbands to come all the way to Rongguo Mansion.

Mrs. Wang was still complaining about how Baoxuan made her feel ashamed that day. When she met the two of them, she just greeted them casually, and then invited her to see Mother Jia.The two gave all kinds of rewards, and Jia Mu said, "Please stay here, my aunt, and let's be closer."

Wang Xifeng wondered, "I don't know how many people my aunt brought, so I can make arrangements."

Mrs. Wang curled her lips, "There is no empty yard in our mansion right now. There used to be a Pear Fragrance Courtyard, which is very cheap to live in. It's just that the brothers and sisters of the Lin family live here. If you like, you can let them make room. You are also an elder around you." .”

"Ridiculous." Mother Jia scolded, "Your nephew and the others are keeping their filial piety, how can you bother with these things." Someone smiled and said to Wang, "I thought there were still a few upper rooms in my yard, and my aunt and wife would stay temporarily. It's cheap. It's just that my grandson Baoyu is living with me, and Baochai is twelve years old, so I have to worry about these things. Anyway, you have a deep relationship with your second daughter-in-law, and there is an East Courtyard in her yard, where you live I don't offend you either."

"Oh, you didn't see, my good aunt, our second wife who is famous as a benevolent person, she was so angry at that time, her face turned green." Wang Xifeng went back to her yard and joked with Jia Lian stand up.

It turned out that Wang Xifeng was very close to the second wife because of her aunt, and she ignored the dignified parents-in-law.After taking charge of the house, Jia Lian was pushed down everywhere, and the husband and wife got along very awkwardly.Later, the Wang family implicated Wang Ziteng many times, and Mrs. Wang still wanted to bring her sister to the capital, but told Wang Xifeng to divorce her.What does Wang Xifeng's status in Jia's family depend on?It's definitely not Mrs. Wang's second-bedroom wife who has no serious order, but her biological father, Wang Ziteng!No matter how close my aunt is, she can't compare to her father. The Wang family has repeatedly hurt her father. Seeing this, Wang Xifeng wished she could rush up and teach her a lesson. How could she be happy to see Mrs. Wang so eager to entertain her!

But there was one thing, Wang Xifeng saw her father being reprimanded again and again, fearing that one day she would lose her support, so she never did those things of exploiting huge profits and taking lawsuits.

Now Mrs. Wang is getting far away, but she is getting along with Jia Lian.

Jia Lian laughed and said, "You still have a cousin named Xue Baochai. She fell in love with Baoyu and wanted to hire him, right? She's just the right age. She's a third-year girl, holding a gold brick!"

"So what about gold bricks! Even if there is a golden mountain, the old lady won't allow it." Wang Xifeng said, looking around, "After all, she was abandoned, and how much better will the daughter be raised!"

Ping'er was serving on the side, and said in his mouth, "But today the old lady is full of smiles, and she talks about my aunt. Ping'er really can't see that the old lady will despise her family."

Wang Xifeng laughed loudly, "You're still inexperienced after all. You listened to the aunt, who knew if you were laughing at the second aunt, a good old woman who was married by a bright matchmaker, and finally became an aunt after making a fuss! Dongxiaoyuan, It's really a good place. Living next to Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou really suits her status. Oh, what the old lady said is really good, I really can't wrong them!"

Several people were talking and laughing, but they saw a little girl waving to Ping'er outside, so Wang Xifeng sent Ping'er to have a look.Not long after, I saw the little girl pulling up the scarlet felt curtain, and Ping'er and Zhou Rui's family led the old and the young into the back room.

Ping'er and Sister Feng whispered a few words, and Sister Feng looked up, only to see that the old woman had bowed underground for several times, and kept saying hello to her uncle and aunt.Sister Feng hurriedly said, "Sister Zhou, get up quickly, don't ask me. Please sit down, grandma. I'm young and I don't recognize you. Is this the first time I've seen you?" Turning around, she said to Jia Lian, "Grandma Liu's son-in-law is surnamed Wang. , was originally a local family name, and his ancestors were also officials in the capital. In the past, my grandfather also knew him. Because of the same surname and close relationship, he was even recognized as a nephew by Zong. I don’t want to find him here today.”

The ancestors of the Wang family in the capital did not have many descendants, and now there is only one who is nicknamed Wang Gou'er, and he is Grandma Liu's son-in-law.Wang Gou'er's father, Wang Cheng, died of illness recently. Wang Gou'er, his wife Liu Shi, a son named Ban'er, and a daughter named Qing'er worked as farmers.Later, because the children were still young and left unattended, they brought their mother-in-law, Grandma Liu, over.

At the end of autumn and early winter of this year, the weather will be cold, and the winter affairs at home have not been done, so Grandma Liu and Wang Gou'er came up with an idea, "You were originally connected with the Jinling Wang's family that day, but later the two families moved less, so We became estranged. My daughter and I went there once, and the lady of their family is now the wife of Mr. Jia Er of Rongguo Mansion. I heard people say that now that they are getting older, they are more and more sympathetic to the poor and the elderly. Don't give up money. Although the palace has been promoted and left the capital, I'm afraid this second aunt will recognize us. Why don't we just go for a walk, if he has a little kindness, a hair will be thicker than our waists! It depends on people, but it depends on heaven. We have achieved it, and look at the blessing of the Bodhisattva, some opportunities are unknown!"

So on this day, grandma Liu took her grandson, Ban'er, to find Mrs. Wang's companion Zhou Rui's house first.Because Zhou Rui was fighting with others to buy the land that day, and it was all on Wang Cheng's power, so he didn't shirk it, and led them in along the way.

Sister Feng and Jia Lian laughed and said, "The relatives don't move around very much, but they are all estranged."

Grandma Liu was busy chanting and said: "Our family is in a difficult situation and we can't walk. When we come here, we don't have to slap our aunt and grandma. Even the housekeepers don't look good!"

"It looks pretty decent to me. There are three poor relatives in the imperial court'. These relatives need to walk around more. If you think about those rituals... I ate some food from a country family outside a few days ago. It tastes very good, if you think about it, bring some with me next time." Jia Lian laughed.Sister Feng laughed at him for being greedy.

At this time, a little girl came to report, and the little uncle from the East Mansion came in.Jia Lian went out by himself, and at the same time asked someone to grab some fruits and boards to eat.

Here, Grandma Liu calmed down and said, "I brought your nephew here today for no other reason than because his old lady didn't even have food at home. If it's cold again today, the more I think about it. Paitouer, I had no choice but to bring your nephew and run to your old age."

Sister Feng knew the purpose of her visit early, "Needless to say, I know." She asked again if she had eaten, and heard that she hadn't had breakfast yet, so she hurriedly ordered Zhou Rui's family to pass a table of guests.Zhou Rui's family took Grandma Liu and Ban'er to the side hall for use.

When Jia Lian came back, Sister Feng told the story and asked Jia Rong why she came here.

"I just came to borrow the glass Kang screen, saying that I would invite an important guest tomorrow, and I borrowed it for a little display. I looked at him and couldn't tell which distinguished guest he was, so I rejected him." Talking about Grandma Liu again The matter, "Even if you are here to beat the autumn wind, you don't have to refuse. Human nature is icing on the cake, but it is difficult to give charcoal in the snow. Just give her 20 taels, and the right is a blessing. Just don't take this matter, send someone to say Listen to the second wife, since she is a Bodhisattva-like person, we should give her some chances to do good deeds, right?" Then she asked Ping'er to go to Mrs. Wang.

After finishing her meal, Grandma Liu pulled the board over and smacked her lips to thank her.Sister Feng said with a smile: "please sit down and listen to me tell you, old man. I already know what I mean just now. If it is about relatives, they should be taken care of before they come to the door. Now I have 20 taels here. Silver, if you don’t think it’s too little, just take it for now.”

While talking, Ping'er also came back, holding a heavy plate of silver: "Second grandma, the second wife said she knew, and ordered to take twelve taels and hand it over to Grandma Liu. When I came back, I met the young master of the Lin family, and the young lady from the old lady. After breakfast in the wife's courtyard, she is going back. Biao girl is kind-hearted, upon hearing this, she ordered to take twelve taels and give it to the old man, and young master Biao also took twelve taels."

Grandma Liu counted with her fingers, and it was 50 taels. She itched all over with joy, and said, "I told my son-in-law that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Whatever he does, you are always worse than us." The waist is thick! The second grandma is charitable! The second wife is charitable! The cousin girl and the young master are big families, and they are also charities!"

Seeing his vulgarity, Zhou Rui's family just stopped him with winks.When Sister Feng saw it, she smiled and didn't pay attention, and said: "Our young master and cousin's father are also high-ranking officials, but they are not in the capital, so they live in our house. You are right in what you say, they are indeed rich!" "

Ping'er on the side said to Grandma Liu: "There is one thing, this cousin loves vegetarian food, and she eats very little on weekdays. The young master Biao said, if you find some wild vegetables, at least ask the cousin to eat more. Your benefits are indispensable."

Grandma Liu was overjoyed, "What's so difficult about this? The village lacks everything, most of all wild vegetables. I'll bring a basket back in a few days!"
