Chapter 38
Chapter 38
Mrs. Wang has just returned to the mansion, changed her clothes, and was about to go to see Baoyu, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Xing, the wife of Jia She, the big house, came.
When Mrs. Xing saw Mrs. Wang, she just waved back and took out a small sachet and said, "Look at what this is."
Mrs. Wang was startled when she saw the embroidered spring sac the size of a palm, and immediately asked, "Where did this come from?"
Mrs. Xing just snorted coldly and said, "I just happened to see it by the rockery in the yard, thinking that if this thing gets out, the girls in our mansion will die."
Mrs. Wang took the embroidered bag and looked at it. The naked and weak man and woman on it were extremely embarrassing.
Mrs. Xing said: "I thought this thing was in Lian'er's house. Lian'er's daughter-in-law is naturally respectful. Lian'er must have brought this thing and lost it here."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang thought that Jia Lian and Sister Feng were the only young daughters-in-law in the yard, and she said immediately, "I'll ask her. If it's her, I'll make her make amends for you."
Mrs. Xing sneered and said, "Why should I pay for this? What kind of person am I?"
Listening to Mrs. Xing's cynicism and ridicule of Mrs. Wang, she just pretended not to hear it, so she took the two women and went to Sister Feng's side.
These days, when it is hot and cold, Sister Feng has not been in good health for the past two days, but knowing about Zijuan, she feels even more distressed.
When Mrs. Wang came, she was naturally dissatisfied when she saw Sister Feng, and when she saw her lying on the couch lazily, she immediately said, "You have a mother-in-law above you, so I shouldn't talk about you, it's just you." It's too loose now."
Since that time, Sister Feng has had a grudge against Mrs. Wang, and she blushed when she heard this, and asked, "Ma'am, what's the matter?"
Mrs. Wang said: "You are my niece, and you are in a close relationship. I think it's better to say something straightforward."
Sister Feng only sneered a few times in her mind, and said, "Ma'am, it doesn't matter."
Seeing that Ping'er was nearby, Mrs. Wang asked her to go out, and Sister Feng just said: "Madam, don't worry, Ping'er never talks too much."
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to give up. Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was tense, Na Ping'er just stood aside blindly, making no sound.
Mrs. Wang took out the embroidered spring bag and put it on the table and said, "What do you think this is?"
When Sister Feng saw Mrs. Wang coming so aggressively, she thought it was a big deal, but she didn't want to take out such an object, so she just smiled and said, "What is this thing?"
When Mrs. Wang saw Sister Feng like this, she was very angry: "You did a good job."
After hearing this, Sister Feng was surprised: "How does Madam know this is mine?"
Seeing that Sister Feng didn't admit it, Mrs. Wang turned pale and said, "You and Lian'er are the only young couples in this mansion. If it's not yours, it's someone else's."
As soon as these words came out, Sister Feng's complexion became ugly. Since she came to Jia's mansion, she didn't respect her mother-in-law and flattered her all day long. Now she puts everything on her own head. It's really annoying. Sister Feng said: " If my wife asks, I should listen. But this embroidered spring bag is not mine."
Sister Feng picked up the spring sac and looked at it, and at the same time picked up the fabric and squeezed it and said: "Look at the material, this tassel, this embroidery worker, if it is mine, it must be good. How can you use this kind of thing?"
Mrs. Wang heard this, and at first glance, the embroidered spring bag looked pretty good, but after a closer look, the embroidery was rough, and the tassels were still leftovers, she immediately regretted it, she really shouldn't have come here.So he said: "Whether this is my fault or not, it's time to find out before you come back, but your mother-in-law came to tell me about this with an angry face, I was just in a hurry for a while."
Wang Xifeng looked at Mrs. Wang's kind face, and said, "My wife is also doing it for my own good, so how dare I speak!"
Mrs. Wang was really annoyed by this inconsequential tone, and Mrs. Wang said with a puffy face: "How many times your mother-in-law complained to me, I helped you get back, but I don't know you in this way."
Wang Xifeng was about to say New Year's greetings, when Ping'er strode forward and said, "Madam calm down, grandma is not feeling well, and this happened again." Ping'er pointed to the location of the old lady's room.
When Madam Wang saw Wang Xifeng, her complexion was sallow, and she was not as energetic as before, so she left.
As soon as Mrs. Wang left, Sister Feng said, "Why didn't you let me tell you just now?"
Ping'er covered Sister Feng's blanket, poured another cup of soup and said, "Second Grandma, why are you doing this!"
Wang Xifeng sighed and said: "I thought I was a smart person, but now it seems that I am a big fool. I thought that the second wife came from the Wang family, and I disrespected my decent mother-in-law, but flattered her everywhere, but in the end, this good thing didn't happen to me. For the sake of this, I was the first to think of bad things. And the old lady," Sister Feng said here, she couldn't go on anymore, and started to cry.
Ping'er supported Sister Feng, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and persuaded: "Grandma, I know your suffering, but I just keep some words in my heart, and it's boring to say."
Sister Feng stopped her tears, looked at Ping'er and said, "Now I am not pleasing to both sides, that is, you are with me."
Ping'er was originally Sister Feng's dowry girl, and she had been with Sister Feng for more than ten years. Although she knew that Sister Feng was hot-tempered and unforgiving, she was not moved when she saw her like this, and said: "I have been with Grandma for more than ten years. I was born as grandma, and died as grandma's ghost, but if there is anything to do, just let me do it."
Seeing Ping'er like this, Sister Feng smiled instead of crying: "What are you talking about? Your grandma and I are still in good spirits. Just rest for a few days."
Although Mrs. Wang didn't show it on the face, her heart was burning with anger, and she went to Baoyu's place as she walked.
But when Qingwen was playing with Baoyu, Mrs. Wang pointed to Qingwen and asked, "Who are you?"
Na Qingwen was a little frivolous at first, but when she saw Mrs. Wang, she knelt on the ground and didn't speak.
When Baoyu saw his wife, he just stood aside, and the broken fans in his hands were still on the ground. When Mrs. Wang saw the broken fans on the ground, they were all in pieces, and she said immediately: "I have spent a lot of time with you all day. Eating vegetarian food, reciting Buddha, running a thrifty house, but I don’t want someone like you to appear in Baoyu House, but I rarely see you, where are you from?”
Na Qingwen replied: "I used to be in the old lady's house, because the old lady said that it is not good for the rooms in the yard to be empty, so she let me come over and just stay in the room to do some needlework, so my wife You don't see me on weekdays."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang patted her chest and said, "It's just that you don't come out very often, or my Baoyu has been exhausted by you. If you look like this, our house can't afford you."
After Madam Wang finished speaking, she asked Zhou Rui's family to tidy up her clothes and send them out immediately.
That Qingwen is good-looking, so it is inevitable that she will be arrogant and indulgent on weekdays, but none of the maids in the room pleaded for her, and even Baoyu stood aside blankly, just watching and not saying anything.
This Qingwen went home, although she has a brother and sister-in-law, but that sister-in-law is a flirtatious and frivolous one. Seeing Qingwen like this, she just taunted and made fun of her.
On that day, Baoyu went to see Qingwen secretly, and the two talked softly. Baoyu left here. Qingwen's sister-in-law looked at Qingwen and smiled and said, "A girl's family is so crazy. It ended up like this, I thought this man was amazing, but it turned out to be an embroidered pillow, you are so sick, he only said those nice things, but didn't help you find a doctor, you are really blind."
Na Qingwen was originally happy to see Baoyu visit, but when she heard her sister-in-law's words, she was embarrassed for a while, she vomited blood suddenly, and passed out.
Here, Lin Beiyuan waved Ding San away after he came down from court, and walked slowly alone. He walked around a street and saw Jia Lian.Because Beiyuan gave him a few hundred taels of silver, Jia Lian was enthusiastic towards Beiyuan. Naturally, this chance encounter on the roadside led Beiyuan to talk for a while. Yuan looked natural, thinking about the matter between Lin Daiyu and the old lady, Lin Beiyuan didn't know about it, if he persuaded Lin Beiyuan and went back to persuade Daiyu, then Lin Daiyu would come to Jia's mansion to make amends to the old lady. Do you have a face in front of you?
So the two simply sat down in a roadside teahouse. Jia Lian first asked Beiyuan what he was doing now, and Lin Beiyuan said, "I think I'm young, and I'm new to the officialdom. It's just running errands or something."
Jia Lian himself was only a first-class acquaintance, seeing Bei Yuan was a bit shy after all, but now seeing Bei Yuan being so humble, he treated Lin Beiyuan as a good brother, took him by the hand and told him about it. Seeing Lin Beiyuan's serious expression, he persuaded him even more: "Cousin Lin is young, so it's normal to be petty, but the old lady is sincere to her, why don't you go to the old lady to persuade her, you bring Cousin Lin to the mansion to compensate No, we were beating and drumming again, and the matter passed."
Beiyuan said with a serious face: "I have not been very happy to see my sister these few days, but now I know what she said after hearing what Cousin Lian said." Then he clasped his fists to Jia Lian and said, "I will treat my sister to thank Cousin Lian." Let me remind you, it’s just that my sister has always been stubborn.” Bei Yuan said here, slapping the table and saying: “The day before yesterday I saw my sister take out a dozen letters from my wife’s lifetime to check, but she wouldn’t let me read them. I looked at her Look, I was frowning and weeping at the same time, thinking maybe I missed my mother. I will persuade my sister again in a few days."
When Jia Lian heard this, she was a little confused. Since Lin Daiyu missed her mother, she should be closer to the old lady, so why did she turn her face?It's just that Bei Yuan looked cautious, thinking that he was busy with outside affairs all day, and these inner houses probably didn't know much about it.
The two drank some more wine before breaking up.
Jia Lian's relationship with Sister Feng has not been good for a long time now, just thinking that Sister Feng is as good as the old lady on weekdays, so it's good to ask about it, so he went back to the house and entered the house.
Seeing Sister Feng lying on the couch, she greeted Jia Lian. Seeing Jia Lian's behavior, Sister Feng thought it was because of Zicuckoo's business and ignored him.
Seeing that Sister Feng was like this, Jia Lian had no choice but to say to Ping'er, "Your grandma is not feeling well, but did you find a doctor?"
Ping'er was about to go back when Sister Feng opened her eyes and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Seeing Sister Feng talking, Jia Lian said happily, "I can't talk to you because I'm fine."
Sister Feng turned her head, pouted her lips and said, "Second Master, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so tell me!"
Seeing this, Jia Lian asked Ping'er to go out and said, "Let me ask you something. I saw Lin Beiyuan today and heard that Lin Daiyu was angry and crying when she saw her mother's letter at home. I thought about this." My aunt has the most correspondence with our house, could it be this..."
After hearing this, Sister Feng laughed and said, "I miss my own mother. Why do you think so much?" Sister Feng had just finished speaking, and seeing Jia Lian's serious expression, she remembered that she had just married in at that time. Seeing that Mother Jia sent someone to deliver letters every three days, but my aunt rarely replied, and the old lady was unhappy about it for a long time.
So he said: "The old lady wrote a lot of letters at that time, but it must be nothing, at most it is greetings and care."
After Jia Lian heard this, she thought that although the old lady didn't do anything now, she used sharp methods at the beginning. Wasn't her own mother just being made unhappy all day long?Then he said: "I hope it's just a greeting!"
These words startled Sister Feng, Wang Xifeng wondered if there was something else in the letter, or why did the girl of the Lin family do such and such, thinking about it, she probably believed it.
