The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

Chapter 105

Jia's mansion was already struggling to make ends meet, and it was only when they were building the family-speaking villa that they suffered a serious injury. For the regiment, the extravagant expense of drilling and camping is more than tens of thousands!At that time, Jia She and Jia Zhen were still in charge, and without discussing with others, they first sold a few properties at a low price and stuffed them indiscriminately, but it was just not enough.

When the matter is settled, it will be another expense to entertain the eunuchs who come and go to announce the decree, the deacons and servants in the ministry, and the eunuchs who serve in her palace for Yuanchun, and the relatives and relatives to come and go. The money came, Jia Zheng discussed with Mrs. Wang, and the two pawned some of the family's antique clothes. After dealing with it for a while, it was easy to win the title. When they were about to take care of the housework, Jia Amnesty broke up again. .

Now in the big family's house, the old and the young have lost their titles, which means they have no income at all. Although the old lady is not happy that the eldest son is not motivated, she still loves her son. People, so when the family was separated, there were not many farms and pavements left, but more than half of them were distributed to Jia Amnesty, and most of the cash and silver were distributed to them. It looked like it was exhausted early, and I was so worried that I couldn't sleep for several nights.

Jia Zhengyu has no idea about housework, and Mrs. Wang has been ignoring housework for a long time. The two originally planned to ask Sister Feng to be the housekeeper again, but now that the two rooms have separated and Jia Lian is ill again, it is not good that Jia Amnesty still has that temper. Calling her again, Mrs. Wang thought for a while, and went to find Sister Feng, who knew that it would be okay if she didn't go, but as soon as she went, she saw that the door of Sister Feng was much more desolate than usual, and a little girl was sitting in front of the door with her head down, looking for medicine, and then went inside. I saw Sister Feng and Ping'er sitting opposite each other on the kang doing needlework.

Mrs. Wang frowned and said, "Why did you ask you to start sewing? No matter how things are at home, it shouldn't be like this."

Sister Feng glanced outside and said nothing, so Madam Wang asked Ping'er, "Tell me, what's going on here?"

Ping'er had already gone down to the ground, stood aside, and when she was asked, she said in a low voice: "Madam blamed our grandma for putting usury money in the house, so she didn't ask our grandma to be a housekeeper, and said that the family should be frugal, and everyone in the family has to do hard work." .”

Mrs. Wang said angrily: "Didn't the division divide so many things here! Even if you want to cut down the expenses, you won't cut down here!" Then she asked: "Where is Lian'er? He won't come out to replace him Daughter-in-law say something?"

Ping'er said: "He still hates our grandma for harming that Aunt Ma! I don't even think about it, who sold her out, and who was so anxious that he wanted to kill her? Now it's our fault. Even if there are people here, it's just that there are more people in the family and more family property, and those who should be dismissed from office should lose their titles, it's still the same!"

Mrs. Wang saw that Ping'er had suddenly become so fierce, and knew that Sister Feng was afraid that life would be really difficult, so she said in a slow voice: "If you are uncomfortable, it's okay to go to your sister-in-law's place for a few days first, and don't do these jobs for now. Now, if she asks you, just tell her to come to me."

Sister Feng said: "Auntie, don't worry, I'm doing this just to show my uncle and father how they treat the daughter of our Wang family - when it's necessary, I'll catch up with the baby, the meat, the sweetheart Screaming, when it’s not needed, it turns out that they’re using their coffin when they’re dead!”

Mrs. Wang said anxiously: "Silly boy, what's the use of telling them to see it! You have entered such a door, can you go back again? Or live with us, and I will ask someone to explain it to you in front of your uncle." In other words, you are soft, cage your son-in-law, and give birth to a son, and you will be fine in the future." Seeing Sister Feng staring at herself, she couldn't help saying: "Listen to me once, when I was young, I also had your temper. Slowly changed, a woman, no matter how powerful you are, in the end you will only rely on your husband and son! No matter how powerful you are, if Lianer loses the official position, you will have nothing. You can't do anything, husband A son has a title, but he doesn't enjoy the imperial order of wealth!"

Sister Feng sneered and said, "Then let me ask my aunt, have you been happy all these years? You were like me when you were young, and why did you gradually change?"

Mrs. Wang stopped her with a question, and then she was stunned for a moment before answering: "As people get older, they change slowly."

Sister Feng still stared at her and said, "Auntie hasn't answered my last sentence yet."

Mrs. Wang was silent for a while, then Fang said: "A person's life is lived anyway, so it doesn't matter if you are happy or not!"

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Auntie said so, is it because you are not happy?"

Mrs. Wang sighed: "Feng'er, listen to me, your arms can't twist your thighs, so stop fighting with your mother-in-law and men, and live a peaceful life, that's better than anything else."

Sister Feng suddenly got up, looked directly at Mrs. Wang and said, "Since my aunt said so, why has she never shown a good face to my uncle all these years?"

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was about to speak, she interrupted her and said, "Auntie knows what I'm talking about, and those false feelings don't count."

Mrs. Wang was silent.

Sister Feng sneered and said, "My aunt used herself to persuade me, she was really wrong. If the rest of my life lived like my aunt's, then I would rather not be."

Mrs. Wang originally thought she was just angry, but after hearing this sentence, she panicked and said, "Feng'er, you...what are you going to do? Don't mess around!"

Sister Feng just sneered and didn't answer.

Mrs. Wang asked Ping'er sharply, "Do you know what your grandma is going to do?"

Ping'er glanced at Sister Feng, then at Mrs. Wang, and shook her head.Mrs. Wang was still chasing her to ask, but Sister Feng said: "Auntie, don't ask any more questions. I won't bother the second room anyway. Auntie can rest assured." Then she said to Ping'er, "Seeing off the guests." Ping'er stood up and saluted Mrs. Wang. Seeing Sister Feng's determination, Mrs. Wang felt more ominous, and quickly said without words: "Don't do anything stupid! You... If you want to be a housekeeper, just come to us. We are just looking for someone who is unselfish. It's best for you to come."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "My aunt takes pity on me, I know it all, but at this point in the field, I have no way out. Don't worry, Auntie, I'm not doing something stupid, but I'm used to making decisions in this life, so I also want to think about the road ahead." Just go by yourself."

Mrs. Wang anxiously said loudly: "You... If you leave, what will happen to our mansion?"

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Without me, there would still be sister-in-law, third sister, and at worst, sister Lin and Miss Bao! They are all people with both ability and political integrity. If they come out to be housekeepers, they will only be better than me, and no worse than me." of."

Mrs. Wang said she was no good, so she had to come out all the way, stood at the door and thought for a while, but called Zhou Rui's family: "You personally bring a few people to watch Feng'er day and night. If she... If she does something stupid, don't hold back Then the master and servant are separated, and it is serious to go in and save people immediately!"

When Zhou Rui's family saw that Jia Zheng was attacking the lord and Mrs. Wang was the housekeeper, he considered himself a big shot. Suddenly, Mrs. Wang asked her to take care of a nephew and daughter-in-law who had lost power. A few people went home after looking for a gap.

After hearing what Sister Feng said, Mrs. Wang made up her mind, so she told Jia Mu and Jia Zheng to ask Li Wan, Tanchun and Baochai to take care of the house together. She was weak and didn't dare to work hard on her, and Mrs. Wang still had some thoughts in her heart, so she didn't call her.

Who knows that Jia Mu listened to the candidate, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Why isn't it called Daiyu?"

Mrs. Wang said: "On one hand, she is weak and can't work hard; on the other hand, her father is now in Beijing and has an aunt at home. It's not easy to force them to separate father and daughter."

Mother Jia snorted, "An aunt who is not a serious elder, how can she teach and take care of me, Yu'er? Lin Hai also understands that she will be sent in in a few days. Don't worry about him! Tell me, Among the housekeepers, Yu'er is even added, so you don't have to ask her to take care of the details, just take a look at it. She knows best in her heart, and I can rest assured that I have her to take care of major matters."

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to agree, and sent someone out to deliver the news. Baochai and Daiyu were planning to invite some mages to create momentum. Suddenly hearing the news, Daiyu clapped her hands and said, "Okay, here's There is also evidence to kill you Kefu!"

Baochai was drinking water, and when she heard the words, she choked, and hurriedly told Yinger to calm down for a while, before she said, "Can't you say something nice to me?"

Daiyu glanced at her and said, "I've figured out a way to ruin your reputation. Isn't that a good word? If it's not a good word, then I don't want to talk anymore. Go to bed at night!"

Baochai said with a wry smile: "Yes, yes, Miss Lin has never said anything bad—may I ask Miss Lin, where did you start with this talk of building momentum?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "The mountain people have their own tricks." But she refused to explain further, and just sipped the tea slowly. Picking up the tea bowl again, blowing a mouthful of the foam on the surface, the beauty of black jade and the fragrance of tea leaves are quite interesting.
