Because Yongning relieved Aunt Ming's siege, Aunt Ming would go to Xunfang Pavilion to find Yongning every once in a while. The subordinates of the Feng Mansion are accustomed to seeing the wind and the rudder, and whatever good things come to Yongning, they are the first ones.

Feng Yongying and the two sisters happened to be in the courtyard that day, and several maids held a bucket color twig lid jar in their hands, walked over from afar, and passed by and saluted the two.

Feng Yongjia smelled a strong fragrance coming out of the jar, and stepped forward to ask the maids, "What is this, so fragrant?" ”

"Back to Miss, this is a yellow finch bream, Aunt Ming ordered to send it to the eldest lady."

"What yellow freckle?" As soon as Feng Yongjia heard that it was for Feng Yongning, his tone choked, and he reached out to lift the lid, "Let me see?" ”

When the maid saw Feng Yongjia leaning over with a gloomy face, she was so frightened that she took a few steps back.

Feng Yongjia held a fan and made a gesture to hit her: "What are you hiding?" Could it be that I will snatch it again? Isn't it something great? ”

The maid knelt on the ground with the lid jar in her hand and said, "Third Miss, this is for the eldest Miss, are you?" ”

Feng Yongjia hated: "The eldest lady is my sister-in-law, she didn't say anything, what are you talking about here?" Could it be that my sister will blame me for eating a little? ”

The maid was so blocked that she couldn't speak, and watched Feng Yongjia lift the lid of the jar with a big hand. The smell of the jar gushes out of the soul, and the smell makes you appetizing.

As the name suggests, this yellow finch bream is made from the finest yellow finch meat. According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", "the old and spotted ones are sparrows, and the small and yellow ones are yellow finchs." ”。 Think about the best yellow finch to catch the yellow finch from the old forest far away from the people, and choose the most tender and delicious meat to make, you know that it is not easy to obtain, and it is strange to smell fresh.

Feng Yongjia was full of relish, and when he was about to reach into the jar, he was stopped by Feng Yongying on the side.

"Second sister, what are you doing here? I'm just taking a bite. ”

"This is given to the eldest sister by Aunt Ming, how can you eat it if you want?" Feng Yongying accentuated the words "Aunt Ming".

Feng Yongjia really stopped and thought for a while, "hummed", and stretched out his hand back.

Several maids glanced at Feng Yongying gratefully, and hurriedly walked towards Xunfang Pavilion.

Feng Yongjia looked at his sister coldly, and said in an unkind tone: "Sister, you won't still remember what I said before." ”

Feng Yongying actually has a lot of advantages, but what Feng Yongjia likes the most is her tepid temperament. No matter how she verbally bullied and suppressed on weekdays, Feng Yongying mostly laughed when she heard it, no matter how bad it was, she secretly shed a few tears, and she would never have a trace of resentment towards her, the sister of a fellow mother. She has a stupid mouth, so she doesn't worry that she will turn her head and tell Aunt Zhu or Feng Zhengze to go.

Sure enough, her good sister just smiled and said, "How come, I just don't want you to offend Aunt Ming." If you rob someone else of something she gave on the way, and the maid turns her head and tells Aunt Ming, will she have a good impression of you? Don't forget, the people in the house just because Aunt Ming often went to find Fang Pavilion, so they crowded to the eldest sister's place to offer courtesy. If she sees that you are not pleasing to the eye and asks people to know, do you still have a good life? ”

Feng Yongjia slammed the fan on the stone table and said angrily: "I'm not stupid, how could I not know what you said." I just can't see everyone looking at Feng Yongning, sending any good things to her first, and holding her like something. If this is in Hangzhou, my father thinks of us first in everything! ”

Feng Yongying said: "So, when you get to the ancestral house, not to mention that you are as blessed as in Hangzhou, our identity is not so easy to ask for an equal treatment, and you have to clamp your tail and be a man?" ”

Although Feng Yongjia was angry when he heard it, he had to admit that Feng Yongying was right, so he had to swallow it with a grumble.

The next day, Aunt Ming happened to meet Feng Yongjia on the way to Xunfang Pavilion.

Feng Yongjia saw that Aunt Ming was refreshed, and stepped forward to ask her, "Auntie, are you going to the eldest sister?" ”

Aunt Ming said: "Exactly, the third lady is here to enjoy the scenery?" Summer flowers are in full bloom, and it's a good time of year to visit the garden. ”

Feng Yongjia smiled and said: "Yes, it's boring for me to visit the garden alone, so it's better to go to Xunfang Pavilion with my aunt to find the eldest sister." ”

The two had not walked a few steps when they suddenly heard a human voice from behind the rockery in the garden.

"How many days have you been out?"

"yes."

"Did you hear that? When Aunt Ming went out to worship Bixia Yuanjun a few days ago, she was teased by a splasher, but it was thrilling! You've got to be careful."

"Oh, be quiet! This is not a glorious thing, after all, a woman's family, it is a shame to say it! ”

"It's not because Aunt Ming is beautiful. But thanks to the eldest lady's cleverness, I don't know how to do it. “

Xiaohuan looked at Aunt Ming's face red and white for a while, and was afraid that the more she talked about it, the more she would lose her bounds, so she hurriedly walked over and reprimanded: "Where did the little cheap hoof come from?" Talking about things that don't have rules, you can say that too? ”

When the two maids saw Aunt Ming coming, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.

Aunt Ming looked at one of them who was listening to the rain from Xunfang Pavilion, and asked coldly, "Who are you listening to when you say this?" ”

The two of them trembled and chattered for a long time without saying a reason. Aunt Ming was angry, not so patient, and only ordered Xiaohuan: "Slap your mouth, beat them until they are willing to speak!" ”

A girl of this age loves beauty the most, how can she stand a little wound on her face, and she listened to the rain and explained: "Aunt Hui's words, it was the eldest lady who told us." ”

Aunt Ming still didn't believe it, so she asked, "Really?" The eldest lady has nothing to do, tell you about this, what are you doing? ”

Listening to the rain and said: "The slave doesn't dare to lie, that day when the eldest lady returned to find Fang Pavilion and told Aunt Luo, there were many people waiting in the house at that time, and the mouth was mixed, and it didn't take long for everyone to know." ”

"It's really her......" Aunt Ming was annoyed and depressed, she thought that the eldest lady was a smart and well-behaved person, but she didn't expect a mouth to be so open, she didn't know what to do, how could she still be in the mood to go to Fang Pavilion now, turn around and go back the same way.

Feng Yongjia watched this, yesterday's gloom was swept away, and when she saw that Aunt Ming and her party had walked away, she said to the two maids with satisfaction: "You have done a good job, this is what I said before that I would reward you." And he took out of his sleeve a generation of silver and gave it to them.

The two maids got the advantage and laughed and retreated.

*

The east is rich and the west is rich, and the poor are noble. This sentence vividly interprets the geographical division of the three religions and nine streams in the capital.

This cypress alley gathered many prostitutes from the lower nine streams.

In the innermost and most inconspicuous room in the alley, a broken wooden table rested a deformed downlight stand, and the flame of a candle in it was as weak as an old age, weighed down by the heavy darkness of the room.

The woman sitting on the broken wooden bed called Pingniang, who was doing needlework by the candlelight in exchange for some money for herself and her ten-year-old daughter.

The room was quiet, and you could hear the sound of embroidery needles piercing the fabric. Her daughter, Sister Ru, was sleeping on her side in the bed without making a sound.

At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door, Pingniang was startled, since she lived here, except for the one who asked for rent, that is, the single man who coveted her at the door, and no one else had visited. Anyway, no matter who it was, she didn't want to see it. But the knock was so persistent that she stood up vigilantly, hesitated for a moment, and walked over to open the door a crack.

Outside the door stood a man, brightly dressed, out of place in the filthy and obscene surroundings of the place.

Xun ...... Xun Lang? Pingniang simply didn't believe in her eyes, for ten years, she had been looking for someone for ten years, and she was standing in front of her like this. She is no longer young, and she has been wrinkled by life, but the man's face is still the same as when she first saw her, and the years are so unfair!

The man felt that his throat was inexplicably a little astringent, and it seemed that it took a lot of strength to spit out the words: "You...... You okay? ”

Pingniang didn't answer him, only threw herself into his arms and cried. Her tears speak louder than all words, and every drop tells the man how hard she has been in the past few years.

The man thought he had completely let go, but before he could enter the door, he collapsed. He ruthlessly broke Pingniang's hand, and said in a low voice: "Let's talk about it when we go in." ”

He glanced at this small room, and he didn't even need to roll his eyes to get a panoramic view, he never thought that in addition to prisons, there would be such a dark and gray place in the magnificent capital.

The air was filled with the smell of decay and decay, and he couldn't help but sneeze.

The man suddenly remembered the first time he had seen this woman, she was richly dressed, her hair was full of pearls, and her lips were shy, she was the best age, sitting in a room full of flowers, and she glanced at her, so that he could not take his eyes off.

Ha! The man laughed at himself, it turned out that he still remembered.
