Chapter 2 Rongguo Mansion
Before I had time to think about it, Qiu Ju had already taken Xing Shuang into the yard, although it was not yet dawn, the yard was already busy, the maids came and went, busy cleaning everywhere, there were bird feeders on the porch, and there were also window wipers.
Seeing Xing Shuang come in, a maid went to the door of the main house, lifted the curtain and shouted inside, "The eldest lady is here." ”
Xing Shuang took a deep breath, grabbed Qiu Ju's hand on the side, and stepped into the house.
The house was very warm, the weather was so cold, it had already burned the earth dragon, Xing Shuang sneezed as soon as she entered the house, and someone came over to give her a shawl and shook her hand.
"On such a cold day, why don't you get a stove for your wife?" The person who spoke looked to be in his early twenties, and his dress was not shabby, but he didn't look like a master, and he was probably a big girl with a face.
Xing Shuang just wanted to explain something, and a stove was already stuffed into his hand.
"Mrs. takes this first, although it can't compare to Mrs. 's, but it's better to use it first."
This girl is a resolute person, the stove was plugged into Xing Shuang, so she took Xing Shuang to the inner room and went to the room on the right, Xing Shuang found that this was the serious living room.
The entrance to the house is an eight-treasure pavilion, and it is the place where the master mother usually lives in the past, and there is a bench against the wall in the middle, with a thick cushion on it, which looks particularly comfortable. Under the chaise longue, there are two rows of eight immortal chairs, a row of four chairs, and a small number between the two.
There was already a woman sitting on the bench, Xing Shuang glanced at it, and saw that it was a solemn and luxurious woman, about forty or fifty years old, and there was a futon in front of her, which must be her mother-in-law.
In addition to this woman in the room, there was also a woman sitting on the Eight Immortal Chair next to her, younger, about her early thirties, also very wealthy, with sharp eyes, just looking at it, it made Xing Shuang shudder.
Qiu Ju helped Xing Shuang forward and knelt down on the futon, and Qiu Ju retreated. Xing Shuang recalled the scene on TV, first kowtowed to the woman in the middle, and then said, "The daughter-in-law asks for peace to the mother." ”
As soon as the words fell, before Xing Shuang could stand up straight, she heard the woman on the Eight Immortals chair next to her sneer, and a very soft voice came into her ears: "Sure enough, it's a small family, and it's still a mother." ”
Xing Shuang chuckled in her heart, did she say something wrong?
When he got up and looked up again, there was already an extra tray in front of him, with a bowl of tea on it, Xing Shuang estimated the place where he had just spoken out of order, picked up the tea, raised it above his head, and whispered: "Please have tea for mother." ”
This sentence shouldn't be wrong again, right? But Xing Shuang saw her mother-in-law frowning slightly, and she knew in her heart that she was wrong again.
It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and she just came to serve her mother-in-law, but she made mistakes again and again, and she was full of horses, how can she come back in the future?
But strangely, she did it as if the people around her were calm, as if she knew she was going to make a mistake. Xing Shuang was a little puzzled, and before she could react, Qiu Ju behind her had already come to help her up.
Xing Shuang got up silently, was helped by Qiu Ju to the side of the Eight Immortals chair, and then saw that the woman who had laughed at her just now had already stood up and squatted at her.
"Sister-in-law."
What? Sister-in-law? Xing Shuang was a little confused, but quickly reacted, and also squatted at the other party: "Brother and sister." ”
When she sat down again, the woman had already changed to the first place where she was sitting, and the place where she was sitting gave way to Xing Shuang. Xing Shuang hesitated, but still sat down.
Before I sat down, I heard my mother-in-law say: "You just came, and there are a lot of things to do in the yard, so you don't have to come for the past three days." There are many rules in our house, if you don't understand it, just ask, don't pretend to understand and make jokes. ”
Xing Shuang could only get up and squat again, and said, "Yes." ”
"Sit down, and you don't have to salute every time you say anything to me." The mother-in-law said again: "I know you are apprehensive, but this Rongguo Mansion is not a place to eat people, so you don't have to be so restrained." Although you are filling the house, you are also a serious wife, there is that shallow-eyed slave, dare to be disrespectful, you just have to say, I will be the master for you. ”
Rongguo Mansion? Xing Shuang's heart seemed to be hammered with a hammer, and with a bang, her uneasiness and inexplicable familiarity were shaken clearly.
Rongguo Mansion, Rongxi Hall, filling the house, did she wear the world of Dream of Red Mansions and become Mrs. Xing?
Xing Shuang's heart was a mess at this time, and she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
This Mrs. Xing is the most embarrassing person in the whole dream of Red Mansions, in terms of identity, she is the eldest wife of Rongguo Mansion, but she is a house-filling, and her status is not as good as that of a serious second wife. And her mother-in-law's family is a small family, and I heard that because she took all the family's property when she got married, her younger siblings had a very difficult life.
And she was greedy for money and too cowardly, she didn't dare to fight with her husband, and blindly obeyed, which led to the continuous passage of the big concubine's room, and Jia's mother was dissatisfied with her character and behavior, so she never took her seriously.
Now that she has crossed over to such a person, Xing Shuang only wants to cry, but fortunately, when she came through, it was the first day of Mrs. Xing's entry, and Mother Jia didn't know the original Mrs. Xing's character, and she didn't have such a bad impression of her.
So as long as you don't make mistakes and don't let Mother Jia hate herself, you shouldn't be too sad, right?
In this way, the woman who laughed at herself should be Mrs. Wang in the second room? Thinking of this, Xing Shuang raised her face and looked at Mrs. Wang on the side, this woman was completely different from what she was in the book and on TV. Could it really be Mrs. Wang?
In the TV in the book, although Mrs. Wang is vicious, she is amiable on the surface, and she only eats fasting and recites Buddha on weekdays, and everyone thinks she is a bodhisattva-like person.
But in fact, all the unfortunate things in the big house were caused by these two rooms. So Xing Shuang knows how terrible this woman is. Now it seems that Mrs. Wang does not have the kind of affinity that she had later, but she is very sharp, she should have not experienced the wind and waves, and she is in a moment of infinite scenery.
Thinking that Mrs. Wang would become like that in the future, firstly, after the blow of Jia Zhu's death, and secondly, after giving birth to Baoyu, Baoyu was forcibly carried to the old lady to raise, and there was no support and no sustenance around her, so naturally everything was lost.
Xing Shuang's heart was full of turmoil, and she couldn't help but worry about her and her husband's future life, and she didn't know if Jia Liang would lose her temper after knowing her identity. At this time, she was worried about her husband, and her head kept down, looking like some women from small households were at a loss.
