The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

Chapter 131

Although Ping'er was only thinking about the night with all his heart, Sister Feng was also a little uneasy.After perfunctory dinner, the genius will be blacked out, Feng'er comes in and asks Sister Feng if she wants to go out and watch the little girls play shuttlecock, Sister Feng said: "I'm tired, I have to sleep first, Ping'er keeps watch."

When Feng'er heard this, she went out, and not long after, she led the little maids to come in holding basins and towels to avoid waiting for things. Ping'er and Feng'er helped Sister Feng wash up, and the whole room was completely silent.

Although Ping'er's heart was moved, her face was unhurried. She smoothed the bed in an orderly manner, smoked it warmly with incense, and then drew down the curtain. Go, only said in the mouth: "Shop neatly, don't be perfunctory."

Ping'er replied bluntly, she was not impatient at all, now she put on a more meticulous look, wiping every fold of the quilt with her hands to make it look like new, Sister Feng was waiting by the side, even if she was sitting, Standing is not enough, so I have to pace back and forth, still babbling, just saying: "Don't just think about that, you are frizzy, the bedding is not made well, I can't sleep well at night."

Ping'er just agreed, and after dawdling for half a stick of incense, he respectfully invited Sister Feng to show the bed. Sister Feng glanced roughly and said vaguely: "It's not far away."

Ping'er was still going to go as usual, covering the bed warmly before letting Sister Feng go to sleep, but before she went up, Sister Feng also lifted the quilt, slipped in like a fish, and treated Ping'er "It's still a bit cold inside, please get closer," said Er pickily.

Ping'er smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked, and slowly went to hug Sister Feng, just touching her fingers, Sister Feng's whole body trembled, as if a warm current rose from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, she snorted comfortably, and half pushed and half fell on the ground. He took Ping'er's hand and said, "Don't be stung by scorpions, just go in."

Ping'er stretched out his hand to untie her little coat, and slowly rubbed it outside twice, until the wind and rain were smooth, and then he settled in. He hooked his fingers a few times, and when he heard Sister Feng squinting her eyes and humming, she stretched out one hand from behind, and put both hands together. Gently lifted Sister Feng up in one place, and Sister Feng couldn't help wrapping her arms around her waist, and rubbed against her, a nameless heat rose in Ping'er's heart. When she was out of her mind, she boldly put her own leg on Sister Feng's and rubbed it lightly and slowly.

Sister Feng's eyes widened suddenly, she pushed Ping'er away, and shouted: "Presumptuous!"

Ping'er was startled, hurriedly got out of the quilt, knelt on the bed and said nothing.

Sister Feng's face was still flushed, she covered the quilt with one hand, she half stood up and stared at Ping'er with a sneer, "I don't know when you became so courageous that you dare to do such nonsense things to me? "

Ping'er murmured: "I... I was in a hurry just now..."

"In a hurry?" Sister Feng repeated with a sneer, her voice a little louder, and the little girl at the door said, "Miss?"

Sister Feng was furious and scolded: "Didn't I tell you all not to guard the door? Get out!"

The little girl also said: "Madam is afraid that Miss Ping'er is not enough to serve alone..."

Hearing a bang, Sister Feng threw the pillow out with her hand, hitting the door frame, the little girl outside was startled, and hurriedly backed away.

Sister Feng looked at Ping'er again and said, "Why, do you think you like me as much as Jia Lian did to me, and I always ask you to serve me, so you and I have the same relationship between Jia Lian and me as before?"

Ping'er hurriedly said: "Don't dare, I'm the girl's girl, how can I compare with that person? I just, I just... It's really just a momentary thought, even if the girl doesn't tell me, I have to realize it immediately, dare not Go one step further."

Sister Feng said: "How many times have you told me this? It's useless. I don't believe your words. I only look at what you do, and what you do is to take advantage of my carelessness and take advantage of me." I'm relieved!" After saying it, she was even more angry than before, even she couldn't understand it, but fortunately she was the master, and Ping'er was the servant, and the master never needed reason when talking to the servant, so She is also justified.

What Ping'er was anxious about was just swearing to the sky to show his loyalty. Seeing that Sister Feng still didn't believe her, she gritted her teeth and said cruelly: "Young lady wants to see what I do, and if I do what she wants, she will believe me." Is it?"

Sister Feng was just angry, and just when she wanted to investigate Ping'er, she raised her head and said: "You will be killed here immediately, and I will believe you."

Ping'er turned pale in an instant, and called out: "Miss."

Sister Feng turned her head and sat up straight without looking at her.

Seeing this, Ping'er could only say with tears in his eyes: "If this is the case, I will probably have no choice but to crash to death." Just when he was holding back his anger and sorrow, he didn't salute Sister Feng, but just bumped directly at the bedpost-this stepping bed It was very strong, she used force and fierceness, and when she hit it, she felt dizzy and had a splitting headache—then although the pain was on her head, it was not as heart-piercing as she had imagined, and the place on top of her head seemed to be soft. Yes, Ping'er covered her forehead and looked up, and saw Sister Feng standing against the pillar—she was covering her belly with one hand, bent over, her face covered in cold sweat—it was Sister Feng who blocked the bump for herself.

Ping'er hurried over to help Sister Feng and shouted, "Miss?" When she was about to call for someone, all the people at the door were dismissed by Sister Feng. "After finishing these few words, he vomited at Ping'er, he didn't have much for dinner, and he vomited cleanly.

Ping'er was so anxious that tears came out, and finally sent Sister Feng to vomit, helped her to lie down, went out in a panic to call for someone, and alarmed the outside to invite a doctor, including Wang Ziteng, Wang Ziteng's wife, Wang Ren and Wang Ren's wife. They all got up all night to watch.

After tossing around in the mansion in the middle of the night, it was considered quieter. Ping'er couldn't come near because everyone was crowded around Sister Feng, so she wiped her tears outside, thinking that Sister Feng wanted to die by herself, so it would be better to find a well and jump in to finish the job, so everyone They all looked inwards to see Sister Feng, but instead she kept walking outwards to the edge of the well, and then remembered that Sister Feng had clearly blocked the collision for herself just now, and I don't know what was going on in her mind. , but it is also a pity, so he hesitated by the well, and jumped if he refused.

Who knows that she is hesitating here, and the house is already frightened - Sister Feng coaxed away her father, mother, brother, and sister-in-law, and turned her head to disappear Ping'er, lest she really committed suicide and immediately forced her When everyone came to look for Ping'er, even saying "I can't find her, you don't want to come back", I couldn't get up and down, and the house was full of lanterns and candles, and there was a lot of people's voices. Wang Ziteng and others came out to ask again, and when they heard that they were looking for a maid, they all shook their heads and sighed, because Sister Feng was dismissed and went home, and she was ill again, so they didn't care too much.

The servants of the mansion searched everywhere, only a little girl saw Ping'er by the well and called out "Sister Ping'er", as soon as Ping'er turned her head, four or five women rushed over and grabbed her. , all tied up, and hurriedly twisted to Sister Feng.

The order they got was "Don't tell Ping'er to commit suicide." When they found Ping'er, she was at the well, so she was extra cautious. After saying it again, Sister Feng could hear her covered in cold sweat, she sat up and said, "I didn't mean to tell you to die, don't take it seriously." Impatient for a moment, she blurted out, and then she became uncomfortable again, turned her head and looked at the things in the room. Everyone sent out and came down to untie Ping'er himself. Ping'er didn't know why, but stood with lowered eyebrows and eyes, watching what Sister Feng had to say.

Sister Feng covered her stomach and rubbed her stomach several times, carefully choosing her words, and said, "From tomorrow onwards, you will not serve me anymore." Seeing Ping'er's face changed drastically, she was afraid that she would lose her mind, so she hurriedly said, "I'm not going to send you away. Going out is to ask you to do things for me—Sister Bao always advises me to leave a way out. I think that although what she said about the decline of my family may not be credible, there is something to worry about. Did you ever think that the Jia Mansion would be like this forever?"

Ping'er said: "The girl let me out, why is that?"

Sister Feng said: "I want to release your registration and guard some unimportant shops and fields for me. If something happens, you are a good family and have no relatives with my family, so you can't involve me. Besides, I have some It’s better to hand over the private money to you for safekeeping, so as not to let my brother know about it and make trouble.”

Hearing that she told her to die at one time, and entrusted her with such a heavy responsibility at another time, Ping'er pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Young lady just told me to die just now, to deliberately test my loyalty. If I really listen to the young lady's words and die, The girl is willing to rest assured to hand over your private room to me?"

Sister Feng said: "I...I really annoy you like that, you won't allow it in the future." Seeing Ping'er's dark eyes staring at him without blinking, she lowered her head unconsciously, and said embarrassingly: "I don't I didn’t intend to test you specifically, but those who are in a hurry will rush there.”

Ping'er said indifferently: "I believe that the girl came there in a hurry, otherwise she wouldn't have come up with such a stupid way to kill her."

Sister Feng said angrily: "Why is it so stupid to crash to death? How many people do you see can really crash to death? If I told you to jump into a well, you would be really stupid..." Seeing Ping'er's face, his voice gradually became quieter, and he Said: "Who knew that you are so honest, you don't choose a wall, you don't choose a pillar, and you just hit the head of the bed?" Most people are always reluctant to die. Even if they are really about to die, there must be a lot of resentment before death. To shed a few tears and say a few last words, just like those loyal ministers and filial sons in the drama, before they die, they must be impassioned, talk, and then dress up and cry goodbye to their father. Would it be so reckless to hit the bedpost directly?

Sister Feng touched her stomach, and it was already covered with bruises, which showed how hard Ping'er was, and that Ping'er was serious about dying—she couldn't imagine what would happen to Ping'er if she really died. .

Ping'er smiled coldly, and said: "Young lady, if you want to test me, you can take a glass of wine, lie to me that it is poisonous wine and tell me to drink it, or use tonic as poison, and see if I will take it. Miss, use these methods It’s not even necessary, but you just asked me to kill you, isn’t this a stupid way?”

Seeing her stare, Sister Feng didn't dare to speak, she just lowered her head and fiddled with the corners of her clothes. She felt that this would be too embarrassing for others, so she raised her head and looked at Ping'er pretendingly. Seeing her appearance, Ping'er sneered even more: "I haven't read the book, but I also heard Miss Bao and the others talk about 'Tao' and 'skills'. A smart person like the girl treats the servants with those tricks instead of the righteous way. If things go on like this, I'm afraid that those who are originally loyal will also betray the girl, let alone those who are in between."

Sister Feng snorted softly and muttered, "You don't need to teach me how to manage servants."

Ping'er shook his head, and said lightly: "That's all I've said, you don't matter if you listen to me or not, you can always do what you want—it's night, you should go to bed early." Turning around to leave

Sister Feng asked in surprise, "Where are you going? I didn't tell you to go, how dare you go?"

Ping'er said calmly: "I won't leave, I'll just watch the night outside for the girl. The girl should be settled early, there are still things to do tomorrow."

Sister Feng couldn't bear to see her unsalty face. It was just today's matter. After all, it was her own fault, and she treated Ping'er differently than others, so she couldn't speak for a while, and could only watch Ping'er go Go to the outside room, lie down with all clothes on, and toss and turn inside, without sleep all night.
