Prequel to the Red Chamber: I Am the Second Wife

Looking at the group of beautiful girls in front of him, Zili felt a little bit strayed into Yihong Courtyard. Lang Huan and Qing Yun were the eldest girls that the old lady personally gave to Jia Zheng, followed by four girls in the house, and another twelve One little girl, eight women, and countless rough women who cleaned the yard, moved things, and passed messages back and forth.This Jia Zheng is more favored than Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu only has a big girl who is a tael of silver, but he has two.Facing the dark crowd of servants in front of him, Zili felt depressed. Jia's family and Wang's family had similar foundations, but they had more ostentation than Wang's family.Thinking that Wang Ziteng is the only son of Wang Dingqian, the eldest grandson of the eldest son, the maids beside him are just two close maids, and there are five or six little maids who are waiting to get married. servant.But even so, the servants in Wang Ziteng's room were only less than half of the servants around Jia Zheng.

Qing Yun and Lang Huan stood in front of Zili, they nervously stared at every subtle change on Zili's face, today is the first day for the new grandma to enter the house, the new grandma came back from the old lady and the wife, it should be them It's time for these servants to greet the new grandma.Others in Jia Zheng's room were fine, and Lang Huan and Qing Yun were the most nervous. They were originally the old lady and his wife's housemates next to Jia Zheng, and they both had something to do with Jia Zheng.Now that Jia Zheng married his wife, Lang Huan and Qing Yun's master became the new daughter-in-law, Prince Li.Whether they will stay in the mansion safely in the future, or even make trouble with their aunt, or be sent out by the new grandmother with random excuses to be servants, is all in Zili's mind.

Thinking about the few girls around the old man back then, they were all sent away by the big grandma.This is the eldest grandma, and people in the house say that she has a good temper. The second grandma is much stronger than the eldest grandma no matter her background, appearance or temper. Qing Yun and Lang Huan looked at Zili's eyes with an impatient look , my heart tightened.They subconsciously lowered their heads and shrunk their shoulders silently, hoping to shrink themselves into a ball, the smaller the better, so small that they would not attract the attention of Second Mistress.

"You have been serving the second master for a long time. I am new here. I don't know many things. I will rely on you to remind me in the future. Everything is still the same as before. What you did as an individual is still what you do now. , I only brought six maids, Mingqian and Yuhou are my personal maids, Xiaoai, Bohe, Shuangyan, and Oulu are also waiting in the house." Zili pointed to the maids around him to Langhuan He Qingyun ordered.

Qing Yun held his tone carefully, and hurried forward to answer: "Yes, servants remember. House chores are just cleaning up the house every day, and the rest is for Second Master and Second Mistress to ask for tea, water, meals, and messages. Biyun, Hanyan, Qiu Hancui and the other six were originally assigned shifts, so I don’t know if Xiaoai and the other four will also be assigned shifts, or if they just serve grandma."

She is going to be Zili's family. Hearing Qingyun's words, Zili raised her eyebrows slightly, and then said loudly after the rain: "Sister Qingyun is so powerful, our girl will use it as a housekeeper's wife when she first arrives." We are used to serving girls, so naturally we are with her every day. It really is that the Duke's Mansion is different, there are more girls by my side than our wives."

After the rain, the two big girls beside Jia Zheng were not pleasing to the eye. On the day of their marriage, she and Ming Qian helped Zili into the bridal chamber, and at a glance, they saw Qing Yun and Lang Huan standing there dressed like little daughters-in-law. , she and Ming Qian immediately regarded Lang Huan and Qing Yun as thorns in their girls' eyes.Now Qingyun is gesticulating to Zili again with the posture of an old man, gesturing to the arrangement of their dowry maids. After the rain, Zili thinks that Zili can't say anything about her because of his identity, and it's time for the maids to go out.

"I, I didn't mean that, Second Mistress, if this servant has the slightest disrespectful thought, tell this servant to die here immediately!" Qing Yun was so frightened that she immediately knelt down to show her loyalty. "Slap your mouth! What day is it today? You can just talk nonsense here." After Yu Hou shouted loudly, he continued to attack.

"Speak up, go and help Sister Qingyun get up. I am a girl who has always been open. She thinks that I am a newcomer, lest I will be treated slowly. My sister is an old man who serves by the second master. It is the old lady and the wife. How could someone be wrong. I can rest assured that you do things. I have never been too picky. Xiao Ai and the others just take shifts with Biyun. The second master still has to study. There are too many people in the room, and there are too many people. It is inevitable that you will be distracted and unable to concentrate. You have arranged this very well. I don’t come today and leave tomorrow. The days are still long. You can’t feel your temper when you meet for the first time. It’s good to get to know each other after a long time. What do you have to say? Just say, since the old lady and the wife are relieved to hand over the second master to you, it can be seen that they trust you. You should not disappoint the old lady and the wife." Before Zili finished speaking, Jia Zheng's voice came, "Who If you want to go, say what you can’t go.” Jia Zheng came in with a happy face, and as soon as he saw the room full of people, he understood that it was the servants in his room who were visiting the new grandma.

"In the future, all of you should listen to grandma's orders. You should treat them the same as the few people you brought with you. It's better not to see outsiders." Jia Zheng circled around Zili a few times, like a puppy. It's like the dog is spinning around its owner.He looked at Zili with watery eyes, and there was a fawning look in his eyes.

"How can there be such a reason? If you go to the country to do as the Romans do, naturally you have to follow the rules here. They are all used to serve you. If you have no one to serve you because I came, wouldn't it be my sin?" Li still wanted to understand the situation with Qing Yun and Lang Huan, but Jia Zheng was eager to be alone with Zi Li. He waved the girls out impatiently: "You all heard, just follow what grandma said." Qing Yun saw Seeing Jia Zheng's eyes and heart on Zili, she felt a little sore in her heart, but she could only withdraw silently.

Zili watched Qingyun go out step by step and turned his head three times, compared to Langhuan who was much calmer. "What are you looking at? The old lady and the lady left you here to say something." Jia Zheng stretched out his hand to hold Zili's hand, and kept stroking the back of Zili's delicate hand with his thumb. His face was already close to Zili's. In front of Li's eyes, he wanted to steal a fragrance.

Mensao!Zili spent a whole night with Jia Zheng and immediately summed up Jia Zheng's character, whether he was upright and dignified, what was honest and dull, and seeing no evil was all pretentious.Jia Zheng is simply a weirdo, just talking about it!But it's much more fun to be boring than boring wood, Zili unceremoniously stretched out his hand and pushed Jia Zheng's face away, and held Jia Zheng's ear with his fingertips: "What are you doing? Eyes and ears, you are still making trouble!"

Last night, Jia Zheng was no longer stiff and dull, showing his true colors as a big bad wolf, he chewed Zili twice, and happily swallowed it into his stomach.As soon as Zili remembered what happened yesterday, his heart suddenly became angry, and the strength in his hands became even stronger.

"Oh, grandma, I don't dare to do it again!" Jia Zheng bowed to Zili and begged for mercy.

Only then did Zili let go of her hand and flicked the handkerchief: "You bully me as a newcomer, I'll go home!" She turned around and ignored Jia Zheng.

What's the matter, who is disrespectful to you?You just talk to me!Jia Zheng immediately patted his chest and assured Zili that he was going to help her get ahead.

who?Hearing Jia Zheng's words, Zili sneered inwardly, Jia Zheng had the lowest status in this mansion, no, he was the lowest now.It was easy for him to say, if he wanted to settle accounts with those who bullied Zili, would Jia Zheng dare to settle accounts with the old lady and Jia Mu?I'm afraid he wouldn't even dare to stand up straight in front of the old lady and Jia Mu.Before dawn in the morning, Zili struggled to get up and hurriedly washed and tidied up to greet the old lady and Jiamu.The old lady was quite nice to Zili, she sat on the couch above and smiled and looked at the grandson and grandson-in-law who kowtowed below, smiling and asking the girl beside her to help them up.

After talking about the scene, the old lady gave Zili a pair of heavy red gold bracelets inlaid with eight treasures, a box of gold beads and some bolts of satin.In the end, the old lady handed Zili a pair of grape white jade pendants in person: "My mother gave this to me when I was married. Although it is not a good one, it is a relic of the Song Dynasty. I found it for you today in the hope that you will be with me." And beautiful, hurry up and give birth to my great-grandson. I will die in peace if I can see my great-grandson."

As usual, Zili lowered his head with a blushing face, the jade pendant in his hand was warm and mellow, holding it like a living thing in his palm.Zili also saw a lot of good things, but such good things are rare. "This is the old lady's wish, you just accept it." Jia Mu smiled at Zili from the side.

Zili and Jia Zheng also knelt down and thanked the old lady. It was time for the new couple to come here to visit the old lady.Unexpectedly, the old lady said to Jiamu: "You have a lot of things to do, go back first, I like Zheng'er's daughter-in-law very much, so I asked her to stay and talk with me."

Jia Zheng was soon dismissed by the old lady on the grounds that he, the groom, was going to socialize because there were guests coming today.

Only the old lady and Zili were left in the room, and the old lady took a sip of tea slowly: "I heard that your elder sister is in Hangzhou, isn't it? Is it because of her that it's wrong for you to enter the palace to do the work of the grandson Liangdi?" gone."
