Chapter 24: Unraveling
This night, several wives went back to the room a little late, and their expressions were a little trance-like. "Words * love * first * hair
When the eldest lady went back, Hong Wu didn't sleep and was still waiting for her.
The eldest lady hugged her happily.
"Fifth sister, fifth sister, great, great, come, try this dress for me to see, well, what about the hair? What do you want to make? I think it's more expensive to comb a danfeng bun, what do you say? ”
"Mother, headless and brainless, what are you talking about?"
Hong Wu was tossed and turned by the eldest lady, looking at the eldest lady's eyes, there was a little bit of spoiling like looking at a child, with a gentle smile on her face.
Often, when the eldest lady comes back from the old lady's place, she will be very unhappy and depressed. It's rare to be so happy today, and she will naturally let her follow.
This night, the big room tossed and turned for half a night before sleeping.
When the third wife went back, Hongba was already asleep. The third lady went to see her once, and Hongba fell asleep soundly, and there was a long saliva mark on the side of her mouth, and the quilt was kicked.
The third lady sighed a long sigh, covered her with a quilt, and did not quarrel with her, but went back to the lodging by herself, washed and rested. But I tossed and turned, and I couldn't sleep.
In the past, I always felt that in addition to her top-notch appearance, Hong Qi was unmatched, and everything else was similar to other young ladies. Even, that cold temperament is not as good as others.
But today, she realized that she was wrong.
Red Seven is just a blockbuster.
It turned out that she was a person who had a big city in her heart.
Of course, the third wife is not afraid of Red Seven. No matter how powerful she is, she is just a girl who wants to marry, what can you do to her? She thought of Red Eight from Red Seven, compared to Red Seven, Red Eight is like a child.
If you get married, you don't know if you can live well?
If Red Eight can have Red Seven or Five points, she doesn't need to worry about it.
The fourth wife went back, but she just asked Hong Jiu to come over, told Hong Jiu what happened, and let her go back.
The second wife didn't think so much about it, so she rested when she went back.
The old lady took the girl back, took a key hidden in the dark compartment herself, opened a box, looked at the contents of the box for a long, long time, and her eyes were full of reminiscence.
Hong Qi also rested as soon as she went back, ignoring a few girls and waiting for her to this time, anyway, she was acting in front of the old lady, and she was opposite to a few wives, although the difficulty was not high, but for her current body, it was definitely a great burden, and she was already exhausted.
So, she just washed her face and fell asleep in bed.
She slept soundly, causing a few girls to not sleep well for a night.
The next day, Hong Qi looked at the panda eyes of several of them and was immediately happy. In exchange for the resentful eyes of a few girls. Hong Qi told a few girls about her final decision. I heard that this family affair is gone, and several girls are more sad than Hongqi, and Dongxue and Qiushuang are so angry that they cry, and they are very aggrieved for Hongqi.
Chunfeng and Xia Xi didn't expect this ending, but they felt that their hearts were so desolate, but they finally stopped raining, the sun spilled in, and the golden light filled the house, and they couldn't get their smiles.
Serving Hong Qi listlessly and having breakfast, Hong Qi was a little sleepy again, she slept late yesterday, and she was still a little insufficient, so she rested again.
A few girls were in the room on the west side, all sighing for a long time, feeling a little unhappy, but they didn't dare to disturb Hong Qi, they didn't sigh very happily, it was really depressing to the extreme.
At this time, the mothers and girls in the house of a few ladies came over, and respectfully handed over boxes of silk and satin, jewelry, ornaments, calligraphy and paintings to the hands of several girls.
But a few girls still have a bitter face, as if what they are in front of them is not a mountain of gold and silver, but just a pile of dung, quite a bit of a celebrity who regards money as something outside the body.
Even the second wife sent someone to send two shops in Kyoto, a Zhuangzi and dozens of acres of land, but they did not react to the spring breeze. Compared to what Miss lost,
Hong Qi slept again, woke up and knew about it, and his eyes narrowed when he smiled.
That Wednesday Childe was really valuable.
She just said that she didn't participate in this matter, and it was not certain whether it would be successful or not, and a few wives gave such a big gift. She only talked about compensation, and she didn't have to be much. After all, since she has arrived here, she has become a member of the Hong family. Although these people in the Hong family have calculations against her, in the final analysis, they don't mean to harm her. Hong Qi has seen many life-and-death battles in wealthy families, and the people of the Hong family have some conscience.
Therefore, in the case that she thinks it is quite desirable in the Hong family, she is not ready to leave, and she wants to continue to live here, Hong Qi will not do things too much.
However, a few wives are also fine, for the sake of their daughters, this is also due. Only the second wife was a little surprised to call Hong Qi, after all, she didn't do anything good in this matter, but she was even more generous than the other wives.
As far as Hong Qi knows, among these wives, the richest is not the second wife, but the third wife.
What is the second wife's heavy gift for?
There is no white pie in the world, so Hong Qi decided to go to the second wife to sit down.
Sure enough, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and this red family is slowly starting to be interesting, and it is no longer so boring.
If the spring breeze knew that Hongqi actually regarded this big event as a boring thing, I don't know what would happen.
Hong Qi is gone, and several girls are angry in their hearts, they all think that this matter is their loss, after all, if Hong Qi marries well, they can be good.
Looking at the yard full of things, they only felt that their hearts were blocked. As soon as they locked the library, several girls went out for a walk, and if they didn't go out, they would be angry.
Xia Xi still went to Miss Hongsan, and told Hongsan everything in a huff. In the end, I couldn't help complaining: "You say, Miss, is she stupid and not well." What is a woman's life planning, she is not a good husband and gives birth to several good sons. It's okay now, what she has already gotten in her hands, she gave it up and replaced it with these broken copper and iron. These things, as long as you marry into the Zhou family and take charge of the family, what are you afraid of? Before, Miss wasn't so shallow-eyed? ”
Hong San listened to Xia Xi's story, opened his mouth in surprise, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. At first glance, she also thought it was ridiculous, but she always felt that according to what Xia Xi said yesterday, the current red seventy is so smart, she shouldn't do such a stupid thing. Hong San thought about it carefully.
After a while, Hongsan's eyes lit up.
But I heard that Xia Xi was still there complaining.
Hong San secretly sighed in his heart that Hong Qi's mind was hidden so deeply. Xia Xi is also smart, and he didn't expect it at all. But wasn't it even her before?
Hong San exclaimed: "What a seventh sister." I thought I had seen through her, but I didn't expect that, I still looked down on her. This heart, how she was born. I'm afraid it's a man, and I don't have her decision, right? ”
When he said this, Hong San's eyes showed a look of self-pity.
"Third Miss, do you think Miss is right to do this?"
Xia Xi asked with some hesitation.
If someone else said so, she would have said it back after a long crackle, but what Hongsan, who she had always admired, said was naturally different.
"Hmm." Hongsan nodded, "Seventh sister is really amazing, I thought there was only one way, but I thought wrong." Seventh Sister's method is much better than mine. Now, the old lady naturally thinks more highly of her, several wives and young ladies owe her favors, and in the future, I am afraid that they will be shorter in front of her. Looking at the things you have received, the dowry for the average daughter to marry is only like that. Especially what the second wife gave was the shops and granges in the capital, and in that kind of place where every inch of land was valuable, the value was only considerable. If I'm right, I'm afraid the old lady will say something about it. In the future, no one in this red family will be able to stop the edge of the seventh sister. To be against her is to be against the old lady, and the ladies and ladies have accepted her affection, and they have to give her three points, let alone others. With one concession, you can get so many benefits, and the seventh sister is really a good means. ”
"No wonder, those who sent things here today, why did I say that they were so politely overdone?"
Xia Xi also remembered the attitude of those people at this time.
Xia Xi seemed to understand something.
However, she was still unwilling.
"Even if there are these benefits, they can't be worth the loss of Miss. The family is gone. ”
Xia Xi pouted.
"You fool," Hong San nodded her head, "Why didn't you think that the old lady valued her so much, but without the Zhou family's relatives, would she marry her to someone else casually." Her future family affairs are not better than the Zhou family, and they will definitely not be any worse. ”
"yes," Xia Xi finally reacted, "why didn't I think of it." Besides, with the young lady's appearance, as long as the news of her getting better spreads, are you afraid that there will be no good people to propose? Maybe Miss will be a princess in the future. ”
At this moment, Xia Xi finally rejoiced.
Speaking of which, Hong Qi really does this only for good, and there is nothing bad about it.
But he still muttered pity: "It's just cheapened them for nothing." Obviously, they were the ones who calculated the young lady, not only were they not punished, but they also bargained for such a big bargain. ”
In the end, I was still unwilling in my heart.
Hong San sighed secretly in his heart when he heard this, in the face of people who calculate their own things, how many people will let each other succeed? will desperately think of ways to keep what is in his hand and never let the other party get it. Regardless of whether it is a defeat or not in the end, killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred will not do any good.
This is human nature.
Even she, an outsider, heard this, and never thought of giving up or retreating.
All want to win.
But is winning really winning?
I'm afraid that on the surface, it is actually a tragic victory. Even, victory now will be the beginning of defeat in the future. Just like the idea she once mentioned to Xia Xi, there are endless troubles.
At that time, Red Seven will become a real loner without a mother's family to rely on.
Red Seven, on the other hand, chose a path that almost everyone would never choose.
Back off.
It seems to be a loss, but it is actually the biggest winner.
Take a step back and open the sky, everyone knows this principle, but when encountering such an angry thing, how many people can think of it?
Hong San knew that if she was Red Seven, she wouldn't think about it at all.
Is this the gap between her and Red Seven?
Red Seven taught her a lesson.
"Xia Xi, you will definitely learn a lot by working under someone like Seventh Sister. In the future, you must pay attention to the actions of the seventh sister, even what she said, if you can't figure it out, you have to do what she says. There must be a reason for her. Later, you will understand, and you will benefit immensely. ”
Hongsan solemnly said to Xia Xidao, with a hint of envy in his eyes.
Xia Xi nodded heavily.
Now that she understands, she naturally won't be confused. Hong Sanke has never valued anyone so much. She believed in Red San's vision.
When he went back, Xia Xi's steps were extremely brisk.
Looking at her back, Hong San's eyes showed a little envy.
Yun Qi saw it, so he said: "If Miss thinks that Miss Seven is good, why don't we go to Wutong Courtyard to play?" Speaking of which, Miss Seven is also the younger sister of Miss, which is also justified. ”
Hongsan shook his head.
"I didn't go before, but now I go, what's it? She's not a fool, and now she's getting up like this, and she didn't teach her to look down on me. ”
Having said that, I was a little lonely in the end, so I went to sleep.
Yunqi fanned her back, and when he saw that she was asleep, he quietly waved to Fengsheng a few times. A few people found a secluded place and talked.
