Along the way, the third wife stared at Hongba for a long time. 『』

As a result, what disappointed her was that Hongba had been immersed in her thoughts, her eyes were foggy, her soul didn't know where she had gone, and she didn't know what she thought of for a while, she smiled stupidly, and her face turned red.

The third wife endured the unhappiness in her stomach, and finally returned to her Huaiyuan, and sent a group of subordinates, even Yanran and Nie's mother kicked her out.

I was all uneasy in my heart, and I didn't know what was going on, and my heart was like a drum.

It seems that since Miss Hongqi discussed this relationship, this home, which was originally quite peaceful, has gradually begun to be unpeaceful. I don't understand, I don't understand, but I guess something, and I don't mention it in my heart.

Syllable!

The third lady slapped the table hard.

Yan Ran and Mother Nie, who were guarding the door outside, heard it, but Hong Qi didn't come back to his senses at all. The third lady vigorously carried the meat on Hongba's waist, "Ouch", Hongba screamed in pain, and then came back to her senses and realized that she had arrived home at some point.

She rubbed her waist and said angrily, "Mother, what are you doing?" It hurts me to death. ”

Hongba pouted and looked at the third wife unhappily, unable to understand why the third wife wanted to screw her.

"If I don't do something to bring your soul back, I'm afraid that your soul will fly with others and never come back."

The third lady snorted coldly.

Hongba's face turned red, she naturally knew what she was thinking, she was so absorbed in thinking about it at the time, and she didn't care about anything, but when she came to her senses, she was ashamed.

She twisted the candy and stuck to the third wife's body, calling "mother" vigorously. The third lady still had a tense face at first, but after calling a few times in a row, her heart softened. In the end, it's her own daughter, how can she really be angry with her.

The third lady sighed, pulled Hongba into her arms and hugged her, and called her earnestly, "Sister Lan".

Red Eight's name is Hong Minglan. In this era, most of women's nicknames use one of these words, plus "sister". However, a woman's name cannot be known at will. Therefore, there are many rankings outside the home. Only those who are very close to them will be called by name.

Hongba answered, and obediently fell into the arms of the third wife.

The third lady touched her hair and said, "Mother knows, that Mei Shuhan is a good one." However, that's because you haven't seen Childe Wednesday yet. He is definitely a hundred or a thousand times stronger than this Mei Shuhan. Moreover, Mei Shuhan is just the son of a county order, what future will he have in the future? Do you want other sisters to marry beautifully, servants like clouds, and call for the front and back, but you have nothing? If you don't do it well, you may have to take care of the housework yourself. Mrs. Jia, the wife of the Namei County Order, often cooks by herself when she hears about it. Is she so capable when her daughter-in-law stands by? If you look at their maids and sisters-in-law, they don't even have half of the people in your yard. Although our Hong family is not very noble, the daughter of our Hong family is the most noble, and she has been raised from childhood to adulthood. Look at you sisters, what you eat, wear, use, and make, not to mention that it is in our Qinghe County, even if it is put into those young ladies of the big family in Beijing, it is also the first share. Can you endure that suffering, can you endure that sin? You don't want to be fooled. ”

Hongba couldn't help but shudder when he thought about the way he washed his hands and made soup. She has never touched the spring water with her fingers since she was a child, even if she learns a few dishes in the future, she is just making a show, and she still expects her to really cook?

Moreover, Miss Hongfu can call the most people, four big girls, four second-class girls, eight third-class girls, eight little girls, four rough mothers-in-law, four mothers-in-law, a total of dozens of people, all revolving around one person, serving properly.

Red Eight can't imagine the days when there are only two or three girls to serve.

She quickly shook her head, thinking that Mei Shuhan's heart was a little lighter.

"No, mother, don't worry, I won't be confused."

The third lady laughed and patted the back of the scared red eight.

"This is my mother's good daughter, good. Don't worry, even if the matter of the son of Wednesday can't be done this time, my mother will ask your eldest sister to pay attention to it for you in the capital, and find a good husband with excellent appearance and outstanding family background, and I will not be wronged by my sister Lan. ”

"Mother."

Hongba embarrassedly buried his head in the arms of the third wife, looking shy. In my heart, I don't know why I was a little stunned. If the son of the Mei family can also have the same family background as the son of Wednesday, no, it doesn't matter if it's a little worse. How nice it would be if that were the case.

The third lady secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Hongba hasn't fainted yet, otherwise, how could the third wife be willing to marry a daughter raised like Jin Yu and marry such a thing?

The mother and daughter whispered for a while, and when Red Five and Red Nine got the letter, they knew that the third wife and Red Eight were back, so they came to explore together. The third wife let the sisters play by themselves.

She found two capable girls such as Yanran and Keren, and said that they would have a banquet for the big and small Jia family in three days. He also told the people who ordered this matter not to publicize it, especially the people in the Wutong Courtyard who did not call Hongqi knew, so as not to cause more trouble.

The third lady thought that I had kept this matter secret, but they never thought that Hong Qi had already noticed the abnormality of several young ladies, and had already sent a few girls out.

Qiushuang has the widest connections, smiled and said hello to this girl, the girl talked, and found a place where there were many women, went to play a few hands of cards, and the whole yard estimated that she was the busiest.

Dongxue went out of the Wutong Courtyard and went straight to find her sister, Fu'er, who was working in the old lady's yard.

The spring breeze has been in the house for the longest time, and although it is not as extensive as the autumn frost, it also has a few close friends. So she went to the west yard.

The Red House can be roughly divided into the front and back yards, and the front and back yards can be roughly divided into east, west, and middle lines.

In the middle of the front yard is the family temple, and then in front of the front is the front hall, what are the red and white ceremonies of the family, all held here, it is the largest hall.

On the east side of both sides of the front yard are the courtyards of several old men, when there are guests visiting, they will receive them here, and the male guests in the backyard are not allowed to enter without permission. A few young masters do not have a special yard in the front yard, and when a guest visits, they use a few masters.

On the west side of the front yard is the clan study, and after the young masters of the Hong family reach the age of enlightenment, they will enroll in school here. However, because the second and third masters of the big house are older, they have completed their studies; The second wife sent her sons to the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh masters to the famous Egret College in Hangzhou; Now only the eighth master of Aunt Shen and the ninth master of the fourth wife of the third room are studying in it. The tenth master born to the youngest fourth wife is only one year old, and he is not yet of school age.

The courtyard of the old lady in the backyard is in the middle, and there are old ladies and a few young ladies living in the east, and a few young ladies living in the west, which can be said to be a clear hierarchy.

The spring breeze is good friends with the Su Xin around Miss Liu, and this time I want to look for her.

And the person Xia Xi was looking for was the biggest, and she went directly to see the red third from the second room.

Hong San is a concubine, and she is inferior to several concubines, but her appearance is the first person in the Red Mansion except for Hong Qi, and her talent is even higher than that of Hong Qi.

The old lady often sighed, but unfortunately she was not born in the belly of the second wife.

Originally, the old lady even intended to let the second wife recognize her under her knees, but the birth of Hongsan's mother was too low, and she was a Qinglou Qingluo, the second wife was reluctant, and the old lady was unwilling to force the second wife, so it was just that.

But the red three is not treated as an ordinary concubine, it is the first daughter of the red mansion, and the treatment is also very different. Like other concubines, there can only be two big girls, four little girls, two mothers-in-law, and two mothers. Hongsan has four big girls, eight little girls, four mothers-in-law and four mothers. It can be said that there is only one head less than a few descendants.

Hongsan lives in the remnant of the red Xuan, by the water, the water is planted with lotus, the original name is called Tingyu Xuan, the red three said what to call "listen to the rain" is not as good as the "remnant lotus" is more appropriate, and feel that the remnant lotus is too straightforward, so it was changed to the remnant red.

This name sounds very poignant and murderous, and the eldest wife and the third wife have quite a lot of complaints, but the second wife has always ignored her, and she thought that Hong San insisted on changing the "Yan" of the good "bright and coquettish" in her name to the same unlucky "Dusty Smoke" cigarette, and made trouble to the old lady, didn't the old lady finally agree? What's more, it's just the name of a hospital.

The eldest lady and the third wife didn't say anything more. However, every time if you come to the west for something, unless necessary, you will never pass through this remnant Hongxuan, for fear of touching the mold.

When Xia Xi came, Hong San was drinking in front of the residual lotus in the water.

It's winter, the pavilion by the water is strangely cold, in the water, there is no scenery, only some withered and ruined lotus leaves, Hongsan didn't ask anyone to clean up, and I don't know what to see.

The reddish three also prefer this tone. When the spring flowers are blooming, the lotus flowers are all over the pond, and the lotus leaves are even green, I have never seen her like this.

Red San's distinctive taste is well-known in the Red family.

Seeing that Xia Xi was coming, several big girls in Hongsan, Yunqi, Qingxiao, Zheng'er, and a group of little girls, mothers, and mothers-in-law were like seeing saviors, and they all opened their mouths for help.

Hong San's drunken eyes opened slightly, and he also saw Xia Xi and smiled at her.

"Xia Xi, hurry up and persuade Miss, I've drunk almost a bottle of this. It's going to hurt your body, but how can you do it? ”

"Okay, just a few of you nagging, let me go down. Xia Xi, you came just in time, accompany me to drink a few cups, these girls are timid, ask them to accompany me, and they refuse to do so. It's still your best. ”

Hong Sanxing's face turned red and shouted at Xia Xi.

A few girls were still not at ease, and explained to Xia Xiqian and instructed Wan Wan, Hongsan said impatiently: "You guys, Rory, whatever kind of fuss, let me go, go." ”

Xia Xi soothed: "Don't worry, I am here." ”

A few girls walked away one step at a time.

In the pavilion, there are only two left, Hongsan and Xiaxi.
