Prequel to the Red Chamber: I Am the Second Wife

"Did the people from the Hu family say something?" Zili frowned and motioned for Wang Sheng's family to come over and talk. "The people of the Hu family didn't have anything important to say, they just wanted to say that their grandma gave birth to a daughter. Does my aunt want to see him, or—" Wang Sheng's family took a look at Zili and lowered his head.If Mrs. Tang's Wang Sheng's family doesn't need to be too entangled, although the eldest girl and the second girl are from the same mother, but the two people continue to quarrel and quarrel with each other, Wang Sheng's family is not sure, Zili will be happy to hear any news about Ziqian.Especially now that Ziqian has become a mother, but Zili is still empty.If it wasn't for Ziqian's nonsense back then, maybe Zili would have received congratulations from the wives in the palace.

Zili lowered his head to think about it, and said to Wang Sheng's family, "Did the Hu family send people here before?"

"It's not that people come here often. After all, their master is working in Hangzhou Weaving. Our master is his serious boss, but he only talks about government affairs. When it comes to our family—no, it's their boss. Master won't listen to grandma's words. Auntie, look—" Wang Sheng's family waited for Zili to make up his mind.

"Since he came to the capital to do business, let him go to the study and wait until the master comes back. Since their family is happy to have a daughter, the officialdom also respects favors, so let's follow the favors of ordinary colleagues. Fly a red envelope as a congratulatory gift. You can entertain them nicely. Many officials outside the capital are sending people to visit various parts of the capital around the end of the year. Don’t tell them to chatter together because the family members talk too much.” Zili glanced at Wang Sheng’s house. Yes, and asked coldly: "Do you understand?

"Yes, I understand." Wang Sheng's family immediately understood what Zili meant and quickly agreed to leave.In the past few days, Wang Ziteng's daughter-in-law can't come out to take care of things because of childbirth, Zi Meng is too young to take care of things, thanks to Zili who came back to help with housework.All members of the Wang family found that the second aunt's face was older and calmer than before she got married.Even though Wang Sheng's housekeeper was a lady, she didn't dare to underestimate Zili, on the contrary, she became more respectful to her.

In the afternoon, it seemed that Mrs. Tang and the old lady were going home. Zili first went to watch the old lady rest, and then followed Mrs. Tang back, waiting for Mrs. Tang to change her clothes and sit down to drink tea. The words have been spoken.Hearing that Ziqian gave birth to a daughter, Mrs. Tang gave a hand holding the teacup, and said with a calm face, "Oh, yes. Other people's affairs have nothing to do with me. You don't have to bother to give any congratulatory gifts." Well, I heard from your father that Hu Qizhong made a lot of money in the weaving job, but the emperor just ignored it for the sake of King Wei. She is like a fish in water now, so she is not willing to put us in her eyes. I think It must be what Hu Qizhong meant, he was scared, and he just wanted to find a life-saving straw. I'm tired too, you should go back. Things at home have bothered you these few days."

Mrs. Tang's reaction was beyond Zili's expectations. She thought that Mrs. Tang and Ziqian would be able to reconcile as time passed.Zili opened his mouth to swallow the comforting words and took the girl back. The house Wang Dingqian had prepared for his daughter and son-in-law was very convenient. From Mrs. Tang's main hall, go south along the east lane, pass through a corner gate, and then cross another lane. It was at the corner door of Zilixi's backyard.She went in quietly through the corner door in the backyard and walked to the house.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked to the back door, she saw a little girl looking in her direction, and when she saw Zili coming, she hurried over: "Grandma is back, Jinling is here, now I was talking to the second master, Mingqian sister told me to wait here for grandma, and told grandma not to go in first."

Zili said strangely: "It's really strange. Since someone is here, why didn't you ask me to go in? Did the second master mean it or who did it? Tomorrow, you ask her to come out."

The little girl said helplessly: "Grandma, don't be angry, the room is warm in the back, I have prepared new tea, grandma should go and rest first." The little girl was clever, she begged Zili to go to another place to stay for a while . "Tell me, it's really against you, you actually started haggling with me, tell me what's the matter, if you are still hesitating, you pay attention to the skin on your body!" Zili stared, and the little girl trembled.

"Grandma, don't be angry, that's what sister Mingqian meant. She's over there listening to the second master talking to people in the family, so she can't come out to greet grandma in person. I heard that it's Jinling, and the girl next to the second master is pregnant—Jinling There are rumors in the family that Miss Fang Ruo is going to be promoted as an aunt." The little girl looked at Zili's face worriedly and said the news that made Zili's heart tense.Zili only felt her heart sink, as if being pressed on a heavy lead weight, she was so stuffy that she couldn't breathe, she only felt sour in her mouth, and after a while she sneered: "Second master was feeling sorry for himself a few days ago. The qualifications are not good, I think the second master is underestimating himself. Not only can he win the high school easily, but he also got a baby, he is really talented." When Fang Ruo and Jing Shu came here, Zili had already guessed the ending, but Things were happening so fast, she didn't feel like she was ready yet.

Inside the room, Jia Zheng blushed and stared at Wu De in disbelief. Wu De shrank his neck, not daring to meet Jia Zheng's eyes: "Second Master, my wife told me to ask Second Master, if Fang Ruo is next to Second Master Girl, she has been serving the second master for a while, but it’s actually nothing. It’s a good thing to have a child, and the second mistress is not a stingy person, so she definitely won’t be angry about it. What the wife means is that the second master and the second mistress get married for a year There are too many, but there is still no movement. Why don't you keep the child in Fang Ruo's stomach, whether it's male or female, it means throwing a brick to attract jade."

Jia Zheng clenched his teeth, his cheeks bulging out. He remained silent for a long time before he let go of his clenched fist and said word by word: "I don't know what happened to Fang Ruo's child. You go back Tell my wife that she is just a girl, and I don't know the rest." This is a denial, Wu De was startled, and looked at Jia Zheng in disbelief: "Second Master, Second Master, this is a matter of human life. If Fang Ruo was a rough girl, no one would believe her when she said that the child belonged to the second master. But Fang Ruo, a girl who served the second master personally, she spoke with certainty. It's a tiger that doesn't eat its children, Second Master hates her so much, just put it aside. That child is Second Master's flesh and blood."

With a bang, a cup shattered on the ground. Waiting for Wu De to look, Jia Zheng had already left, leaving him with an angry back.

"Where's your grandma!" Jia Zheng entered the house and found that Zili was nowhere to be seen. He asked the little girls, but no one knew where Zili had gone.Seeing that it was getting dark, Jia Zheng knew that Zili would not stay at her natal home until this time.He suddenly had an ominous premonition, Jia Zheng grabbed the little girl and asked Zili's whereabouts.Just when Jia Zheng was making a fuss, a lazy voice sounded: "I heard the earth-shattering inside from outside. The second master just sees who is not pleasing to the eye. If you want to get angry, you can get angry. Why bother to embarrass them."

Seeing Zili standing at the door lukewarm, she leaned against the door frame and stared at herself with a half-smile, Zili must know when it's over!Jia Zheng's heart sank and he hurried over, wagging his tail obsequiously at Zili.He bowed and bowed and said: "Grandma is back. He also said that you can relax when you go back to your mother's house. Who knows that you are getting more and more busy. Is grandma tired? I will squeeze your shoulders for you." He wanted to put his arms around Zili's waist and sit down.

"You put on less make-up, congratulations to the second master on becoming a father." Zili shook off Jia Zheng's hand and kept a distance from him. "I'm wronged, listen to me!" Jia Zheng became impatient, he leaned next to Zili and sat down next to her, but just as he was about to speak, he was kicked to the ground by Zili's foot, and there was an intimate relationship between his buttocks and the floor Intense contact.
