Prequel to the Red Chamber: I Am the Second Wife

Regarding the life of the second grandma in Rongguo Mansion, Zili said that she can accept it.In terms of husband and wife relationship, Jia Zheng is still a good husband. He is good-looking and has no particularly perverted and heavy-tasting hobbies. Although he had two housemates before marriage, Jia Zheng never surpassed his master in front of Qing Yun and Lang Huan. relationship with slaves.At least Jia Zheng maintained Zili's authority and status as the hostess in every way, while Qingyun and Langhuan, whether they were sincere or not, treated Zili with respect on the surface.

As for that aspect, Zili said that although Jia Zheng looks like a powerless scholar on the outside, he still has the vigor and vigor that a young fresh meat should have at a sunny age.Based on Jia Zheng's performance on the bed and his proficiency in that matter, Zili believed in Wang Ziteng's original judgment: "That kid Jia Zheng is quite honest. Those dirty places."

Jia Zheng's enthusiasm on the bed made Zili couldn't help but imagine how Jia Zheng got along with the two maids in the past.According to Jia Zheng's enthusiasm, how could none of these two girls have a big belly?Or does the Jia family really have any secret recipe for contraception?Or did Jia Zheng have something with other girls?

It's a pity that after a few days of careful observation, Jia Zheng didn't have any special affectionate behaviors towards Qingyun Langhuan, Biyun, Hanyan, and Hancui, especially towards Qingyun Langhuan, Jia Zheng seemed to be avoiding them a little the meaning of.That night Zili sat under the lamp with a book in his hand. Jia Zheng dropped the pen in his hand and said to Zili, "It's getting late, it's time to rest." Zili didn't look up while holding the book: " You go and rest outside today, so I won’t bother you. The second master will get up early tomorrow morning to study and practice, how can he not rest well at night? Who is on duty today?” Zili suppressed his impatience and hurried Jia Zheng hurried to rest.Zili felt unwell this morning, his stomach was bloated, his whole body was like a hemp rope that was twisted in the wrong direction, and his whole body was struggling with everything.Looking at anyone is not pleasing to the eye.Zili knew that her aunt was coming, she just wanted to soak her feet in peace.Then sleep without being disturbed, being a daughter-in-law is too painful for his grandma.She couldn't sleep in at all, and had to get up early in the morning to greet the old lady. There was no place for Zili to sit in front of the old lady and Jia's mother. She often had to stand all morning.Today's physical discomfort aggravated the fatigue, so Zili just wanted to send Jia Zheng away from her eyes as soon as possible, and keep Qingjing behind.

"Why did you chase me away?" Jia Zheng immediately protested, he slept very comfortably on the bed in the back room, why should he be kicked out to sleep on the bed where the girls slept outside? "I don't want to lie on the bed that some filthy old woman has been lying on. You don't look good today. Don't be tired, you're sick!" Jia Zheng threw down the book and suddenly noticed Zili's complexion under the lamp.No matter how good the rouge powder was, after a day of tossing and tossing, it was almost gone by this time. Jia Zheng immediately became nervous and reached out to touch Zili's forehead. "I heard from the girls that you sat in the garden with Third Sister for a long time today, don't catch a cold."

Zili knocked Jia Zheng's hand off impetuously, she glared and pushed Jia Zheng out without explanation: "I'm fine, I use the bed outside for my lunch break, usually it's Qing Yun and Lang Huan. Use it at night, where did the old woman come from to pollute the second master's territory. If you still open your mouth and curse me for being sick, shut up and curse me for being ill, don't think about me talking to you anymore." Zili said Jia Zheng pushed it outside: "Qingyun, hurry up and send the second master to rest." Zili turned around and put down the curtain by himself, and went into the back room.

Jia Zheng looked at Qing Yun suspiciously: "What's the matter with your grandma? She seems angry." Qing Yun smiled and stepped forward to take off Jia Zheng's outer clothes: "Grandma is doing well today, I think she is tired. Madam happily talked for a long time, I'm afraid I've been standing by the old lady's side for a long time."

Jia Zheng slammed it down, although he felt sorry for Zili standing in front of the old lady, but there was nothing he could do about the family rules.In this day and age, it is only natural for a daughter-in-law to serve her elders. "It's something that can't be done. My wife is not the same. She is still respectful in front of the old lady." Jia Zheng remembered something and asked someone to boil hot water to soak Zili's feet to relieve his fatigue: "I remember that there is still one more time." Wrapped with sandalwood powder, put it in water, it smells good and can activate blood, you just go in and serve it, and I can wash my face myself. Besides, Biyun and the others will take care of it.” Jia Zheng urged Qingyun to go in and serve Zili.

Seeing Jia Zheng being so devoted to Zili, Qing Yun was naturally a little disappointed. She couldn't help it after holding it for a long time, and said with a sneer, "Second Mistress thinks we are clumsy, and she brought her to serve her." Don’t ask us to get started. We’re all idlers, so what’s the point of staying in this room.” Qingyun’s eye circles turned red as he spoke, and Qingyun thought that Jia Zheng was soft-hearted and treated the girls very well. of.She didn't dare to say that Zili was bad, but implied that Jia Zheng was the second mistress who was different from her predecessors, and she had the upper hand by being able to show that she was wronged without leaving any traces.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zheng pushed Qing Yun's hand to undress him: "You think too much, she doesn't have a heart, and she is used to only asking her maid to serve. You have always followed me, men and women." Women are naturally different, and girls who serve girls are naturally more delicate in their thoughts, such as dressing up and so on, which is naturally much better than you. It's getting late, I'll rest first." Jia Zheng lay down on the bed and said The quilt turned his face to the inside and did not speak.Qingyun couldn't get down with embarrassment on her face, but fortunately there was no one else in the room, so she stood blankly for a while, lowered her head and covered Jia Zheng with a curtain, then looked at the narrow couch left in the room, and went out to rest in anger.

In the room, Zili leaned comfortably on the chair and soaked his feet. After the rain, he frowned and said angrily, "Grandma can hear you, she farts all over the room. Isn't it because the second master has neglected them these days?" , These little hooves lay maggots in front of the second master. She is a Bodhisattva in front of grandma, she is deaf and dumb, didn't you hear her words? Such a bitch should be beaten out, she is so black-hearted in front of grandma, I still don't know what she looks like being arrogant behind her grandmother's back."

"You are a girl, and your mouth is full of things. Now that we are newcomers, we have to leave with our tails between our legs. You don't know how to make a scene and make people think of us. It's okay to say that I'm jealous and narrow-minded and can't tolerate others. I'm afraid I'm worried about hurting my family, and she's a girl, so I can't afford to be angry with her. Fate is fate, she should go her own way." Zili sighed comfortably and said to Yuhou: "I I advise you to put aside your quick temper. Look at the first few days you have been here, you have been staring at me all day long. It is not good if you push yourself too hard. If you are angry, you will easily get sick. If you get sick, I will what to do?"

After the rain, he muttered a little dissatisfied: "The girl has been married for a few days, and I have looked at the comfortable life with a cold eye. I get up and stand up every morning before dawn. There are not only old ladies but also Wife, there are sisters-in-law, sister-in-law, and the grandma in the mansion over there. The girl is so relaxed and comfortable at home, but she has to be careful when living here. Rao, their wife is still a kind person, so it is not difficult for the daughter-in-law Girls in their family are easy to get along with. If you meet a harsh family, what will you do! I love you girls." After the rain, thinking of Zili's days at home, he couldn't help but choke up.When she was at home, Zili was the family's petite guest, and was much loved, but when she came here, she became an angry little daughter-in-law, her mother-in-law sat and she stood, and the elders ate, Zili could only stand and wait, waiting for the elders and the elders. Jia Min can only eat after eating.Compared with home, this is really a gap between heaven and earth.

Hearing the girl's complaint, Zili chuckled: "You idiot, who's daughter-in-law is not like this. It's the same wherever she marries. You think of your sister-in-law at home. When she was a girl at home, she was also pampered. The girls around you Serving, and I haven’t done any work. But when we come to our house, it’s still the same to stand in front of my mother, and she gave birth to Niuniu. It’s not the same as serving the old lady for dinner.”

Zili patted Yuhou's hand comfortingly, and took the towel to wipe his feet to get ready to go to bed. Yuhou wiped the corner of his eyes helplessly, reached out to take the towel from Zili's hand, and squatted down: "The servant girl, come here, The girl's legs are a bit swollen. She will never be a woman again in her next life!"

You understand it, you go down and rest, there is no need to sleep on the small bed over there.Zili turned on the bed, ready to go to the meeting with Zhou Yue.Without Jia Zheng's harassment, she could sleep peacefully all night.

Lying on the bed and listening to the sound of footsteps going away after the rain, Zili didn't want to sleep much.In the past few days since she got married, she has gradually become familiar with the life rules of the Jia family and started to get used to it. They are both families of meritorious officials, but the living habits of the Jia family and the Wang family are very different.Everything in the Wang family is based on convenience and comfort. For example, Wang Changchun and his son are going to court in the morning, and it may not be that the whole family sent the father and son out together.The old lady likes to snooze in her old age, so no matter if the old man wakes up early, the small kitchen will definitely prepare a hot and delicious breakfast for Wang Changchun early.Mrs. Tang was naturally worried about her husband, and when Wang Dingqian got up, Mrs. Tang was also woken up. She sent her husband out, then went back to rest for a while, and the servants came to wait for the matter.

The children in Zili, except Wang Ziteng and Wang Ziji, also got up early with their father and grandfather when they had errands, and those who went to the yamen went to the yamen, and the yamen practiced exercises and clothes if they had no errands, but the girls could sleep peacefully until the sun came out.Around * o'clock in the morning, everyone gathered in front of the upper courtyard and waited to say hello to the old lady.In fact, there is no need for An to go every day. The Wang family has three meals a day, that is, everyone gathers to eat together in the evening.The rest is also eaten by everyone in the room.It was the opposite for Jia's family, because in Jinling, Jia Daishan didn't have to go to court seven or eight mornings every day. Instead, he could sleep until the sun came out before getting up, and had a leisurely breakfast before going to the yamen.With the elders here as role models, Jia Zheng and Jia She did not get up until dawn.

The female family members of the Jia family were unlucky. The old lady felt young in her old age, and when she was young, she got up early every day because of the habit of the previous Rong Guogong who went to court early. The old lady got up before five o'clock and waited for her daughter-in-law and grand-daughter-in-law to "go up to court", so Zili could only get up in the dark.Every morning when she woke up and looked at Jia Zheng who was still sound asleep, she wished she could kick Jia Zheng off the bed.My old lady worked hard for half the night and got up in the morning to go to court!You should go to bed when you are full. There is a saying that you don’t suffer from shortages but from inequality.After a long time, Zili will inevitably become psychotic.

The room was very quiet, Zili closed her eyes and angrily pulled the cup and turned over violently. Her stomach hurt more and more, and her calf was also swollen.In fact, Zili will be fine once she gets used to the Jia family's living habits, but it's the family relationship that gives her a headache.No matter what Zili thought about Jia She's wife, Zhang Shi, Zhang Shi was destined to dislike Zili from the first day Zili married in, no, from the day Zili's dowry came to Jia's house. There is a saying that colleagues are enemies, and she and Mrs. Zhang are both the daughters-in-law of others. The dual identities of colleagues and enemies are inevitable.Since Mrs. Zhang is the eldest daughter-in-law, she naturally learns housekeeping from Mother Jia. Zili is the youngest daughter-in-law. She doesn't need to run errands with Mother Jia. Min speaks.

The old lady of the Jia family probably felt ashamed in front of Zili on the first day, and she was not very affectionate towards Zili, no matter if it was the Jia family or the Wang family, as long as it was any big family.Once someone at the top of the pyramid expresses dissatisfaction with that family member, no matter how subtle he expresses it, everyone will know immediately, and everyone in the family will subtly express their position.The servants in the family have been comparing Zhang's and Zili's, and now they all agree that Zili is not as kind and capable as Zhang's.In life, Zili and the dowry girl she brought could feel the slight rejection and indifference of the Jia family.

On the contrary, Mother Jia would always come out at the right time to beat the servants in the family. Not only the whole Jia family, but even Yuhou and Mingqian around Zili thought Jiamu was an extremely kind mother-in-law who loved her daughter-in-law very much. He Mingqian had spoken well of Jia Mu in front of Zili more than once.

Are you taking me for a fool?Zili couldn't help but sneer at this thought.Where did the old lady of Jia's family know about Ziqian? It wasn't because Jia Daishan knew from Wei Chaozhong's mouth that he showed a little bit to Jia's mother.The old lady of the Jia family stayed at home all day long with the door open, and she would not interfere with Jia Daishan's official affairs. If someone hadn't told her, she would never know where to go.Besides the kind mother-in-law, who else can apply eye drops in front of the old lady.It's really difficult for her good mother-in-law, in order to maintain her status, she keeps making troubles between her sister-in-law and her grandparents.It is also possible to use her means to control the courtiers in the court. Jia Mu really carried out the fact that the courtiers should not fight, and the emperor was uneasy about the emperor's mind.

Zili suddenly felt a heat on her leg, and then someone gently pinched her leg. "Don't wait, you'll be fine tomorrow anyway." Zili didn't even open her eyes, she thought it was after the rain that she came in worried.

"Your legs are swollen, is it serious or not? I'll ask someone to ask the doctor to look at you tomorrow." Jia Zheng's voice came from the end of the bed. It turned out that Jia Zheng was worried and came in to see Zili's situation.

Zili opened his eyes and saw Jia Zheng sitting on the bed wearing a dress and slowly rubbing her legs, Zili didn't speak but turned over abruptly and buried his face in the pillow.Jia Zheng watched Zili silently turn his back to him, his thin back seemed to reveal helplessness, depression and grievance.Patting Zili on the shoulder, Jia Zheng was surprised to find that Zili was buried on the pillow and crying secretly.

"Well, why are you crying?" Jia Zheng pushed Zili distressedly, wanting to wipe her tears. Ever since they got married, Jia Zheng felt like he was living in a rose-colored cloud. Zili was lively and lovely, and the most important thing was She understood her own thoughts, and the two of them became more and more in harmony.Jia Zheng didn't expect Zili to be secretly wiping tears while he was cheerful every day.

It's a pity that Zili didn't pay attention to Jia Zheng who was anxious at the side, she lay on the pillow and cried heartily.Just when Jia Zheng pushed her and his hands became more and more sweaty, and Jia Zheng's restraint was about to run out, Zili suddenly slipped into Jia Zheng's arms, choked up and said, "I just want to cry, this I was like that for a few days."

Zili in his arms had stopped crying, but he was still sobbing, patting Zili's back, Jia Zheng felt a little pity, it turns out that women will become cranky when the letter date is approaching.When Zili's letter date comes, it means that the efforts of the past few days have been in vain. Jia Zheng hopes to have a child soon. There is still no news from the elder brother's marriage until now. Jia Zheng subconsciously feels that he must be with him. It's better to be better than big brother in anything.

"I was terrified. You were crying and screaming alone. People saw me and thought I was not good enough to make you angry. If you still feel uncomfortable in the future, just hold me to vent your anger. You are secretly sad and hurt your body the most. Girls are not good for you. You don't need to look forward and backward, just learn the lesson." Jia Zheng stroked Zili's long hair, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"What face do I have to talk about girls? Don't you know that I'm no better than a servant now. Why don't you write a letter of divorce and tell me to go home." Zili raised her crying red eyes and said seriously Said to Jia Zheng.
