Chapter 7: The Wind Rises in the West
Mrs. Xing was bloated, and the large cloak on her body dragged straight to the ground.
As soon as she came in, Wang Xifeng's attitude and momentum softened, first her legs were slightly bent, her knees leaned forward, her hands holding the silk handkerchief were crossed in front of her, she made a blessing ceremony, painted a layer of dancome on her slender nails, and said with a smile: "This little thing, how can you bother the eldest lady......"
Wang Xifeng meant that she could handle it, and pointed out that Jia Cong made a big fuss, but Mrs. Xing said: "If something happens here in Yingchun, if I don't care, in front of the old lady, what face do I have." ”
Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and Mother Jia and Mrs. Xing are not mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Jia Yingchun handed over the tea and saluted, Jia Tanchun, Jia Xichun, and the maids, after saluting, they retired with interest, and Mrs. Xing looked at Jia Cong with wide eyes: "Cong'er, did you ask someone to beat Mama Wang?" ”
Jia Cong came up and whispered, "Madam, let's talk to the child." ”
Mrs. Xing remembered that Jia Yu's opinion of Jia Cong had obviously changed, so she hesitated a little, whispered to him on the side, and scolded him without coming.
Wang Xifeng saw the fire in her heart, and Mama Wang and her daughter-in-law also had an ominous premonition.
Over there, Jia Cong analyzed in an orderly manner: "Big lady, Mama Wang wants to take something, it's indispensable, but it's getting more and more unscrupulous, she is still reasonable, there are no rules, this is one of them." ”
"Second, Mama Wang stole something, whether she used it for gambling or subsidized the family, Mrs. will know if she checks it? I don't know how many people have heard and witnessed this incident, and it is not difficult to send someone to search, and it is not difficult to have human and material evidence. ”
"Third, there is no need to go back to the old lady solemnly in this matter, Mama Wang openly sat in the village, gathered people to gamble, and the wife kicked her out, with reasons, human and material evidence, the old lady hates this kind of thing the most, and she must praise the wife for her insight and timely. When the child did this, he thought in advance not only to protect the second sister, but also to consider the eldest wife. ”
After Jia Cong finished speaking in one breath, he stood aside unhurriedly, before doing this, he did think about all aspects, not recklessly, showing the courage of a horseman, he was determined to drive Mama Wang away.
Now Mama Wang's arrogance is the beginning, in a few years, stealing things to welcome the Spring Festival, more and more unscrupulous, it will evolve into "Miss Cowardly doesn't ask about the tired Jinfeng", driving away Mama Wang is still secondary, Jia Cong wants to affect the Spring Festival more, I don't want her to be so weak in the future, she is good at being bullied, and Ma is good at being ridden.
Not to mention the contradictions between Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, their companions have a heart of contention. Mrs. Wang's companion Zhou Rui's family, there are still girls at home, and the slaves raise their own slaves, which is very similar to the Western saying "My vassal's vassal, not my vassal". Zhou Rui's family is very decent, but Mrs. Xing can't watch it when she accompanies Wang Shanbao's family. What is the role of this companionship? They are the first-class henchmen and cronies of the housemother, and a small report will affect the thoughts and decisions of Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang.
Qingwen's death, the raid of the Grand View Garden, and the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not have the effect of these ear reports.
And the deep-seated relationship is more complicated, Wang Shanbao's family is still Siqi's grandmother...... It's not hard to imagine how Si Qi got in......
All kinds of parents are short, all kinds of interests are conflicting, and all kinds of tearing up.
Jia Cong has long been familiar with these things, and now that he has raised the ideological level of the struggle from his mother-in-law's discipline of his daughter-in-law to his mother-in-law's change of opinion of his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xing naturally has to think about it.
……
After thinking for a while, Mrs. Xing nodded slowly, although the status of the nurse is more noble, but people like Mama Wang really shouldn't stay, even if they are thrown out, take the human and physical evidence, and go back to the old lady, at the same time, Mrs. Xing looked at Jia Cong deeply, and thought: "This child's mind is really much more transparent, not to mention Baoyu, Jia Lian will not think so much about doing things...... It seems ......"
"Okay, whether there are any things or not, whether there are public villages, I will tell Wang Shanbao's family to find out, Sun Fu, first take Mama Wang to the lower room." Mrs. Xing spoke, and the final word was made, Mama Wang and her daughter-in-law knelt down to plead, but Mrs. Xing didn't look at it.
"Yingchun, you can't be silent!" Mrs. Xing reprimanded Jia Yingchun, Jia Yingchun lowered her eyebrows and replied "yes", Mrs. Xing couldn't get used to her, so she snorted coldly and left, and Jia Yingchun sent it out.
Wang Xifeng also sent it out, and before going out, Danfeng looked directly at Jia Cong, wandered up and down, and smiled with care: "Brother Cong's illness is cured?" But be careful, otherwise you won't be able to pull the bow when you go to Brother Zhen. ”
The speed of changing his face is faster than turning a book, Jia Cong said secretly, the two sides and three swords are spicy, and it really deserves its reputation.
"Thank you sister-in-law for your trouble, the ginseng sent by my sister-in-law is the best." Jia Cong smiled quietly, others couldn't hear it, only Wang Xifeng understood that this was a mockery of her, she was not angry, but smiled with phoenix eyes and walked away.
When Mama Wang left, she was terrified, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law knelt down and cried, and Mama Wang couldn't cry silently: "Second girl, the old woman fed the girl one bite at a time, there is no merit, there is hard work...... When I was a girl, she lay on top of me and babbled, and it hurt me...... I also ask the girl to ask for a favor......"
Jia Yingchun's heart softened, turned his head, picked up a handkerchief and wiped his tears: "How can I plead, I have tolerated you in the past few years, and it is expected that it is enough...... If they do not offend you, I will not say what you do, and if they do against you, I will not say anything...... It's just one piece, when I go home, Mama takes care of it by herself. ”
Sun Fu dragged her out without saying a word, and her daughter-in-law lost face and ran to find Wang Xifeng in disgrace.
"Happy! Brother Cong is doing a great job! Jia Tanchun and several people opened the curtain and came in, and they were all very happy.
"Third sister, fourth sister, brother Huan......" Jia Cong saw everyone again, and persuaded Jia Yingchun: "Second sister, don't blame Brother Cong for his tough attitude, you should also look at the current situation, the second sister is weak in the house, it's not a big deal, but what about in the future?" Each of us has a path, and this path belongs only to us, and only to walk by ourselves. Don't look at our brothers and sisters gathered together at this time, but we don't know that no matter how close the people are, they are like rootless duckweed, there are times when they meet, and there are times when they leave, at that time, who can take care of whom? ”
As soon as the words fell, the eyes of all the women lit up, this Jia Cong is really not the original Jia Cong.
"Sister doesn't blame you, sister should thank you......" Jia Yingchun stopped sobbing and gently stroked his little brother's hair, we are sisters and brothers, Brother Cong will comfort me and give me a head.
Jia Tanchun showed that envy again, if Brother Huan was like him, why wouldn't he be my younger brother? Why didn't I die in my wife's womb?
……
After a few nonsense words with Jia Huan and Jia Lan, Jia Cong returned to the house and thought to himself, Mama Wang's matter could come to an end.
Speaking of which, in Jiafu, there are dirty things, and there are also places worth remembering, and even dirty is more than nostalgia, but since coming to this strange world, his first thought is not to escape from Jiafu.
This has to be linked to the reality of this feudal era, not to mention whether he can escape or not, if he escapes, he has no identity, no hukou, no relationship, how can he live? This kind of private departure is "unfilial piety" in this society, whether Rongguofu will follow the Tianfu to arrest him, whether he is worth it, not to mention, in short, the brand of Jiafu's concubine cannot be erased for the time being. It is better to use this identity, besides, he is familiar with the Red Mansion, and there is always a place like a fish in water.
He is not a terrific character who rebels at every turn in historical novels, nor is he the protagonist of fantasy novels who destroys the world at every turn, nor is he a special soldier who emerges at every turn in urban novels, what is in front of him is a living and bloody ancient reality.
As for coming out, don't you come out now, and you won't come out in the future, waiting for death? The shackles of etiquette and religion are not set up for our generation!
……
The lively events in Xifu, since it is the wind, come and go quickly, and Master Cong's resolute actions and methods have also become a topic of discussion among many people in private, but that's all.
The daughter-in-law was instructed by Sister Feng's house, and after Wang Shanbao's family found out, Mrs. Xing decisively kicked Mama Wang out, and the old lady also said that Mrs. Xing did a good job, openly sitting in the village and gambling, which was easy to cause trouble, and killed chickens and monkeys, so that people could settle down. The daughter-in-law was angry, and she didn't think they were too much.
"Grandma, my man also does things for grandma, and there is no mistake." The daughter-in-law didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Wang Xifeng, and she whispered.
"Alas...... Isn't there a mistake today? Aren't you all family? The old lady has spoken, what can I do? Your mother-in-law can't get in, to be honest, you subordinates are tricky, and you should kill chickens to show the monkeys, but ......"
Wang Xifeng's eyes flipped and chuckled: "You do things for me, and I can't let you deviate from morality...... Didn't Brother Cong want to read serious books? I went back to the old lady and asked him to move out of the old man's courtyard and live next to his three younger sisters. ”
The daughter-in-law is very happy, and she flatters Grandma Lian is smart, able to do things, and capable, and Wang Xifeng is very useful.
