Prequel to the Red Chamber: I Am the Second Wife

Jia Zheng's raised hand finally fell on his face, Zili didn't even look at Jia Zheng's look of depression, and just called someone in: "Master is resting in the study today, ask Fang'er to take care of him!"

Bo He and Xiao Ai were busy asking people to surround Jia Zheng to go out.There are only three masters and servants left here, Zili hugged Xiaoai and cried: "I am sorry for you." Xiaoai was busy comforting Zili with a handkerchief: "My life is my wife's, my wife called I do what I do. It is my good fortune to serve my wife for a long time."

Bo He looked at Zili and Xiaoai and stomped her feet and said, "Don't cry, ma'am, just think of a way." Zili was suddenly reminded, she wiped her tears and said to Xiaoai: "Don't worry, I won't cry You have been wronged. I know you like the son of the Dong family, and I will make your wish come true. You can ask the Zhou Rui family how things are going. You can also ask someone to go back to your mother’s house tomorrow and tell my brother to pick me up Stay for a few days."

Xiao Ai felt shy when she heard Zili's words, she couldn't help complaining: "Madam, don't listen to their nonsense, I will serve my wife all my life."

"Come on, you are a soft-tempered person. If you really stay here, I'm afraid you won't be a match for some lowly servant girl. You don't have the means of a vixen to seduce men. An unfavorable aunt is not as good as a third-class girl. Wait for someone to deal with her , let’s ask her to get excited for two days first.” Mint pulled Xiao Ai with a wink: “If you don’t ask her to go to the room and beat the gongs and drums these days, how will we watch the show in the future? It’s just that these days you want I'm sorry."

Xiao Ai immediately understood, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid, she dares to come and find fault with me and see if I don't hit her, she's full of embarrassment." As they spoke, the two girls looked at each other and smirked.The oppressive atmosphere just now was dissipated, Zili pretended to be angry: "You guys are fooling around, don't be too obvious, but let people watch me instigating the girl to bully her."

"Don't bother your wife. Raising soldiers will last a thousand days. We won't let your wife down because of her kindness." Bo He and Xiao Ai rubbed their hands together, and they talked about how to deal with Fang'er in front of Zili.

A few days later, Jia Zheng happened to be resting and was looking at the blueprints on the river project at home.Someone from Ningguo Mansion came over and said, "Our Elder Master invites the Second Master to come over and have something to say." Jia Zheng stopped what he was holding and told people to change their clothes and go over there.Aunt Zhou immediately took the little girl to help Jia Zheng change clothes considerately. Seeing Aunt Zhou's white jade-like neck exposed because her head was lowered, Jia Zheng felt a little complicated.These two women are rare, and in the past few days, what I heard in my ears was that others envied Jia Zheng for getting two beauties in the world, and they also praised Zili for being virtuous and generous.But Jia Zheng didn't have the feeling of leaning against the red and nestling in the green, hugging left and right, he felt a little irritable, and sighed, "Forget it, I'll do it myself."

This is our duty, if we asked the master to do it himself, what kind of people would we be.Thinking that the old master of the East Mansion must have a drink when he invites the master to come over, I asked someone to prepare a sober medicine, and the master put it on his body to be prepared.I made lotus leaf porridge at home and waited for the master to come back to eat.Aunt Zhou's Yingying voice is gentle and charming, but Jia Zheng is not in the mood to admire the beautiful concubine, he just sighs.

I know the master is thinking that his wife is at the Zhuangzi, why don't we pick up his wife tomorrow, the weather is not hot yet, and no one will say anything when it gets hot, and the master will moan and tell us to listen all day long Then follow sad.Aunt Zhou dressed Jia Zheng and helped him go out.

"You also want to invite your wife back? I thought you were worried that someone would restrain you and prevent you from being free." Jia Zheng said no, but his body was still very honest, and his eyes and tone had already betrayed him.

Aunt Zhou laughed secretly in her heart, adding anger calmly: "Speaking of which, it is true that some people don't want their wife to come back. The master didn't realize that the girls are all complaining recently. There was no such thing in the days when the wife was here."

Jia Zheng stood still and asked, "My family has always treated my servant generously. Who treated my servant harshly?"

Without opening her mouth, Aunt Zhou heard Fang'er yelling at the little girl outside. Jia Zheng blushed, sighed helplessly, shook his sleeves and left.

There is a very quiet Zhuangzi in the Wang family outside the city. At that time, the old man Wang Changchun thought it was too noisy in the city, so he chose a quiet place to build this resting place.This Zhuangzi is surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by tenants and fields of the Wang family. A road leads directly to the capital, which is convenient for transportation.

Since Zili had a falling out with Jia Zheng that day, she and Jia's mother came back the next day and asked Fang'er to be the housekeeper. Naturally, Jia's mother agreed and arranged a lively banquet. At the banquet, Fang'er was directly promoted to be the aunt.What I didn't expect was that Zili acted first to be stronger, and pushed out the relatives of Mr. Zhou and Mr. Shan, and offered to be Jia Zheng's decent aunt in front of the whole family.The families of these two girls are said to be from a scholarly family, and their fathers are all scholars and even worked as petty officials. In this way, Fang'er is just a servant of the family, and can only continue to be a housekeeper.

The whole family praised Zili for his general sense and generosity to others. You must know that Jia Zheng is extremely respectful of Mr. Zhou and Mr. Shan, the two masters and staff, so they will be more loyal to Jia Zheng.And Jia Zheng is not at a loss, with beauties by his side, wives, virtuous concubines, and beautiful careers are really winners in life.

Waiting for the two aunts to come through the door, someone from the Wang family came and said: "The weather is hot, our old lady is thinking about my aunt and granddaughter, and wants to take it over for a few days."

Mother Jia heard that the Wang family opened their mouths, and there was no reason to stop them and could only agree.Zili took Yuanchun into the car and returned to her mother's house.But this time Zili stayed, and he didn't intend to go home at all. The Jia family also sent people to pick them up several times, but they were all turned back. Wang Ziteng came to Jia Zheng himself and said: "Our family still asks What about you bullying my sister. What is wrong with her being married, I told you to treat her like that. If you don’t like it, just say it, and I won’t bother you after writing a divorce letter.” Jia Zheng was frightened by Wang Ziteng’s questioning of his teacher. Yes, busy explaining.Wang Ziteng rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You are still sophistrying, you want to fight with a girl for the sake of a girl, this is helpless, and you are also in a hurry. In your eyes, all living beings are equal, and you treat it like a wife and a girl who you have obtained. .In this case, my Wang family will definitely not be able to swallow this breath!"

How could Jia Zheng be Wang Ziteng's opponent, he watched Wang Ziteng scolding him with his tongue open and left.Zili didn't come back from her mother's house, and Jia's mother was alarmed, so she had to ask someone to go to Wang's house to pick up Zili, but Zili didn't come back, but Wang Dingqian's wife came in person. "The old lady of the Wang family is here." Mother Jia's expression turned ugly when she heard the girl's return. She didn't expect things to become so difficult.

"Hurry up and open the door to welcome the old lady of the Wang family." Mother Jia hurriedly opened the door to welcome her.Mrs. Tang was surrounded by a group of maids and servants. Naturally, when they met, they exchanged polite greetings for a while. After they were seated and offered tea, Mrs. Tang spoke first, "Zi Li hasn't been with me since she got married. It's been all these years. I have always wanted to stay with Zili for a few days to talk, and finally my daughter returned to the capital, but there was always something going on. She came back to see me a few days ago, and I was naturally happy. Who knew that Zili was ill, and I I can't bear her to come back to recuperate, and I want to ask my wife to ask Zili to recuperate at her mother's house for a few days. It can be regarded as a complete family relationship between our mother and daughter." As she said that, Old Madam Tang sighed: "It is also true that she can meet such a family in your house. The blessings she has cultivated in several lifetimes."

Mother Jia heard what Mrs. Tang said, and she could only follow her words: "In this case, I will ask my daughter-in-law to rest at her mother's house for a few days. Mother and daughter are heart-to-heart. I also have a daughter. I just don't know that she is sick. How's it going? When you go out, you're doing well." While talking, Jia's mother praised Zili's goodness to Mrs. Tang.

"It's not a serious illness, it's just that I don't have the strength. I asked the imperial doctor to see it. He said that it was too tired before, which hurt the foundation of the body. Recently, I encountered troublesome things and needed a few days of quiet recuperation. It's not that I praised my daughter, Although she sometimes has a stubborn temper, she still has a soft heart." The old lady Tang sighed and stopped talking.

At this time, Zhou Rui's family came out and complained to Mother Jia: "That Fang'er didn't become an aunt, and she mourned at home every day, either beating and scolding the little girl to vent her anger, or cursing the wife and the two aunts behind her back. The wife doesn't want to get entangled with her and doesn't Pay attention to her, but I can't afford to be idle, and I get sick only when I feel a fire in my heart."

When Jia Mu heard this, she was furious: "I'm only proud of her because she looks better than others, but I don't know she's such a cheap bone! Why is there something about your master in it!" Although Jia Mu was partial to her son, Zili also liked her. You can't pinch a round daughter-in-law casually.Jia Wang Dingqian saw that Ding You was about to come out to be an official when his term expired. Although Wang Ziteng was not as high as Jia Zheng, he was a close confidant of the emperor.None of the Wangs were vegetarians, and Mother Jia was busy calling for the Second Master to come, and his mother-in-law came and asked him to come and pay her respects.

Jia Zheng already knew that his mother-in-law was coming, so he came over as soon as he heard Jia's mother-in-law call.As soon as Jia Mu saw Jia Zheng, she spat in her head first: "Brother Hao, the shameless thing is angry with a girl and his wife. Whatever she is, even a fairy is also your wife's slave. It's up to you how to deal with her. You too. You are a son of a family, and like those ignorant men from a small family, you actually listen to your little wife and get angry with your wife! If you continue to play around like this, I will beat you first, and then I will go to make amends to my in-laws!" Mother Jia told Jia The political scolding was bloody, and he took revenge for being pitted by Jia Zheng.

In this way, Zi Li Ming justifiably started to "recover" at her natal family, and it has been almost a month in the blink of an eye.Jia Zheng listened to Aunt Zhou's words and made up his mind to bring Zili back.If he delays any longer, there may be rumors in the capital that his husband and wife are at odds, spoiling concubines and destroying wives.

When Jia Zheng arrived at the Ning Mansion, he saw the steward Lai Sheng anxiously seeing Jia Zheng coming and hurriedly making way for the study. "What's the matter? Your elder master called me at this time." Lai Sheng lowered his voice and said, "It's an important matter. We'll know when the second master sees our master."

Jia Zheng went in and saw Jia Amnesty, and Jia Jing saw Jia Zheng coming in beating his chest and stamping his feet and said, "It's really a wrong from the previous life! My family is unfortunate, my family is unfortunate."

Jia Amnesty said to the bewildered younger brother: "Brother Zhen's aunt has been in the kitchen of this mansion, she has been secretly putting medicine in sister-in-law Jing's meals, and even killed Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law. Now that the matter is out, sister-in-law is going to make peace with elder brother!"

It turns out that Jia Zhen is the illegitimate child born of Jia Jing's affair with his father's concubine!In order to preserve her reputation, Jia Zhen was taken away as soon as she was born and pretended to be the birth of the Lan family, and the concubine died of illness quietly.But no one thought that the concubine's sister would lurk in order to avenge her sister.
