There is no one who is not curious about the Zhang sisters, just like when Xue Baochai came. The inner house of the Jia family is so big, the reputation is not good, and the social circle of the female dependents is getting narrower and narrower, even if it is a little big thing, it will make everyone talk about it for many days, not to mention such two big people.

Just as Zhang Qing himself said, everyone in the Jia family knows their life history clearly, and even the mother-in-law who guards the door can guess their suffering at home, and extend it to one, two, three, four. Zhang Qing was not surprised that these minions of the Jia family looked down on them and put them under Xue Baochai. He also knew very well what kind of people most of the servants of the Jia family were, and he didn't care about these minions.

Zhang Qing felt that as long as he pleases Jia's mother and Jia Yu, he will be able to mix up a reasonable marriage and a dowry that the Jia family does not look down on, but for people outside in his life, he will not dare to expect extravagantly. That's enough.

Zhang Qing's goal for himself is very simple, mix a good dowry, and marry a passable man. This is also the only path he knows that most girls in this world can choose.

In comparison, his sister Zhang Qian is much more complicated. Although he still remembers mentioning his sister from time to time, this is up and down in his heart.

When I was at home, it was chaotic, and whatever my grandmother said, I did it myself. Obviously he is the master, but he is at the mercy of the minions below. The girl and lady of the family are the most unproductive. Later, I got married, married a Zhongshan wolf, and I knew about my grievances. I know how rare it was to be a young lady in my boudoir. But by that time he couldn't turn back.

Today, he has only one wish. That's goodbye to my father and ask. What the hell did he think, why would he marry himself to that person. Although he himself knew that the truth of the matter was definitely not what was said outside, he still wanted to ask in person.

With such a mood, Zhang Qian held ten times more enthusiastic expectations than Zhang Qing, and waited to ask Jia Yu for peace in the evening, but she didn't expect that what she got was the sentence "Please rest early" conveyed by the girl.

On the first night the Zhang sisters came to Jia's house, neither of them slept well.

Zhang Qing was excited. Zhang Qian is full of worries. For his father, he was in love and fear, and he didn't dare to get close, and although he was a little apprehensive to Jia Jiu, the person who replaced him, he was full of gratitude.

He knew that if there was no other party, his father would still live in the yard separated from the back garden, and his brother would still beg for a living in the second room. After marrying the niece and nephew of the second wife, she became an errand runner in the second room, and even the servants in the hands of the second room were incomparable.

Zhang Qian doesn't hate Jia Jiu, nor does she complain. It's just a little uncomfortable.

Lying in the room tossing and turning, I couldn't sleep, and I closed my eyes slightly, and was woken up by the girl: "Girl." Wake up, isn't the girl going to say hello to the eldest master? Today is the Great Pilgrimage. If the girl doesn't get up again, it's too late. ”

Zhang Qian was startled and said, "When is it?" ”

Tortoiseshell said, "Back to the girl." It's the end of time. The second girl is afraid that she has already gotten up to massage her wife's body at this time. ”

Zhang Qian said: "So early? Quick, change clothes. ”

Zhang Qian hurriedly cleaned up, crossed the threshold of the suite, and saw that her sister on the opposite side had also cleaned up, holding the girl's hand and coming out from behind the screen.

"Looks like I'm late."

Zhang Qing smiled: "It's my fast movements. Sister, help me see, can I do this? ”

Zhang Qian looked at her sister's head, combing a neat lily bun, obliquely inserting a tortoiseshell hairpin inlaid with green jade beads and plum blossoms, and the rest of the jewelry was also embellished with pearls and jade, and her body was also jade-colored, only a pink palace silk hung around her waist, and a jade-colored skirt underneath. Although this kind of dress is not quite in line with the aesthetics of the Jia family, it is extremely lively when worn on Zhang Qing's body.

Speaking of which, Shi Xiangyun is also a lively type of girl, but he prefers to wear red, big red and begonia red, which are the colors he uses for a long time, but I don't know if the people below will compare their sister with him?

Zhang Qian thought so, but she didn't know that her sister was also looking at her. Although the two are twin sisters, although the two have exactly the same face, Zhang Qing knows very well that she is just a wild girl, unlike her sister, she was born to be a lady. Zhang Qing once imitated his sister in private, but in the end he had to give up for various reasons. Now that he is dressed up, Rao is twin sister is also dumbfounded. Where is this a weak girl from a poor family in the old days, she is simply a young lady from the Gonghou family! It's as if he was born to grow up here, except for the darker and thinner.

Zhang Qian said: "My sister is really good-looking. ”

Zhang Qingdao: "Sister, what do you say, my sister can't compare to you, obviously you have the same face, you look like you were born here, but I look like a child who stole other people's clothes, and others know that I am from the countryside at a glance." I picked out this dress and jewelry for one night. By the way, sister, I heard that Xue Baochai is also from outside, and some people in private praise him when he was a follower. I'm afraid that someone will compare my sister with him, and I'm even more afraid that people will use my sister as a stepping stone for him. ”

Zhang Qian shook her head and said, "Where did you hear so many words?" He is a guest......" Thinking of some things in his previous life, Zhang Qian still said: "You still have to worry about yourself first." That Xue Baochai is the same as me, he is a guest and a businesswoman, and I am nothing to compare with him even if I am pushed out. But you, like the old lady's niece and granddaughter, are lively and clever girls, and it's hard to say that no one will chew their tongues behind their backs. If your reputation is not as good as his, it is better. If your reputation overshadows him, do you think the old lady and the historian will be happy? ”

Zhang Qing was stunned for a moment, and then was shocked: "Sister, what can I do?" Why don't we stay away from him? ”

Zhang Qian shook her head and said, "One step at a time is counted as one step at a time." As you know, in this house now, the old lady is the ancestor of the family. The juniors below have to go to the old lady to say goodbye. People who are not qualified to go. Even the minions below dared to give a look. Do you want to do it? ”

When Zhang Qing heard this, his face was like earth. I wanted to ask again, but I heard his sister say, "It's not too early, let's go see if someone has opened the door over there." It's not too early, and it's time to give ...... Uncle please. ”

There was already a little girl waiting outside the house with a lantern. Zhang Qian looked up and saw a long list of little girls standing on the bridge, each girl carrying a lantern in her hand, illuminating the verandah and the bridge clearly, even the gaps in the floor were clear.

Zhang Qian still remembers that in the Grand View Garden in her previous life. The girls and gentlemen all have Western crystal glass lamps in the house, but they are just one or two, and they are not afraid of the wind and are still bright. Now that I think about it, it's just a thing that has been used by the relatives and distributed everywhere, just like the toys given to the little girl below, some decent ones are one or two more than others, but in fact, they are just like goods.

Zhang Qian remembers very well that once, Sister Lin went back late. Zijuan, the big girl, has to carry the lantern herself. At that time, I thought that Zijuan was not at ease to hand over the Western crystal glass lamp to the little girl below. Now that I think about it, even people like Sister Lin have only two or three girls who can handle it, which shows what has become of the family. I saw such a neat series of girls today. Although the lantern in his hand is very ordinary, even if he is really helpless, he still has such treatment, which shows how big the gap is before and after.

I used to think that it was a very decent thing for my big sister to be a concubine. Not so requirement. Maybe you should keep an eye on yourself.

Zhang Qing saw that his sister was only in a daze, and couldn't help but push his sister. said: "Sister, what's wrong with you?" What's going on? Why are you standing here in a daze? ”

Zhang Qian suddenly said: "No." Just looking at this string of lights lit here, it looks good on the water. ”

Zhang Qing smiled: "No, it's a bit like the Festival of Lights." It's just that we've been delaying for too long, so let's go quickly, or it'll be too late. ”

Zhang Qing took his sister's hand and walked forward. And when he came to the door, he saw that the door was opened. The two girls came out with lanterns to salute Zhang Qian and Zhang Qing's sisters, and the one at the head said: "The maid has seen two cousins. Our girl is now in the wife's house. ”

Zhang Qian said: "This is not ours, it's late." "Let the two girls get up again. The two girls got up after thanking Zhang Qian, one cautiously turned sideways and led the Zhang sisters to the upper room, and the other waited for the Zhang sisters' girl to come in, then closed the door and followed at the end.

Mrs. Xing's house was already brightly lit, and when she heard that the Zhang sisters were coming, someone immediately welcomed the Zhang sisters in, who was not Wang Shanbao's family: "The girl said that the two cousins are polite, and they will definitely come over early to greet the wife." The old woman also said that the two girls are young and happy on the road, so they may not be able to get up today. Sure enough, the girl could see that the two cousins were also excellent. ”

Zhang Qian was stunned and said, "Let my mother worry." ”

As he spoke, he had already arrived in the back room. Zhang Qian and Zhang Qing said ten thousand blessings to Mrs. Xing, and then to Jia Jiu, and then sat down on the chair next to them. But who expected, as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Jia Jiu massaging Mrs. Xing's body.

Seeing that the two sisters were so surprised, Wang Shanbao's family gave the two sisters tea and fruit, and explained: "Although people like us don't necessarily have to ask our girls to do this, even if they raise a few slaves who massage the body of their wives." But our girl is a very filial person, an hour in the morning and evening every day, and in the past six months, the girl has never been left behind. ”

Zhang Qingdao: "This must be very hard. If you have a little bit of a hand, you won't be able to achieve the effect. ”

Wang Shanbao's family said: "Not really. Even the imperial doctor said that if it weren't for our girl rubbing her body every day, I was afraid that our wife would only lose weight day by day, where would it be like now, just asleep. In fact, the two girls don't have to get up so early every day, and it's good to lie down in the house for a while. Rest more to grow taller. ”

Zhang Qian said: "My aunt still takes care of my wife herself, we just came to ask for peace, it's too much." ”

Wang Shanbao's family said: "Now only a few people remember our wife. As he spoke, he wiped the corners of his eyes.

Zhang Qian knows that big families are most afraid of showing weakness, once you start to show weakness, some people will believe it, and then they don't take you seriously. As the saying goes, there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, if there was still hope for Mrs. Xing's sobriety at the beginning, it is almost the same now, even he himself is about to give up hope, and only Jia Jiu, the daughter, comes over every day to feed, wipe and massage Mrs. Xing's body.

Zhang Qian didn't know how to answer, even if she said such empty words as "it will be fine in the future", she couldn't say it.

After a while, I saw Jia Jiu jumping off the ground. He was already soaking wet, and his brows were full of exhaustion. After explaining a few words to Wang Shanbao's family, I saw him come over and said, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." ”

Zhang Qian immediately said, "Auntie killed us." ”

Jia Jiu nodded and said, "Cong'er is already up at this time." Let's go and say goodbye to my father, and we'll talk about it when we come back. Don't worry, my father is getting older, and I like children more and more, and my brother is young, and I have said it a few times, hoping that the family can be lively. You can rest assured. ”

Zhang Qian and Zhang Qing hurriedly responded. Zhang Qing was fine, but Zhang Qian was very nervous. At the beginning, he also complained, but now that he thinks about it, he only knows the evaluation of his father and brother outside, but he doesn't know what kind of dishes Jia Yu and Jia Lian like to eat, what color and style of clothes they wear. Tanchun even made shoes for Jia Baoyu, and he never put any thought into his parents and brother. But Rao is like this, his father still found himself a family affair and let himself marry. Speaking of which, there are so many sisters in the family, and only they go out from the front door with a dowry and a wedding dress. Compared with the cousins of the second uncle's family and the younger fourth sister, his future is also good. If it weren't for his inability, and he was really cowardly, he changed the other sisters in the family, but I'm afraid that none of them would end up like him, right? also blamed himself for being useless, but smeared his father again.

I just don't know if my father will have an impression of me? There is such a caring and filial daughter in front of me, and I am reincarnated again, but I am afraid that my father will not have any impression of him.

is that she had a lot of expectations and disappointments for Jia Yu in the past, but in her heart, Zhang Qian still regarded herself as the Jia Yingchun, hoping to be recognized by her father.
