Chapter 8: The Phoenix
But it was said that Jia Lian moved to Shi's side, and all the treatment should be the same as Jia Zhu, Shi's Wang also sent people to ask for warmth every time, compared to the life at home after his mother went to heaven and earth, since he was a child, because Jia He didn't care about him, and Zhang's couldn't care about the outside, he followed the next little guy outside for a while, but Zhang's died, and Jia He only pretended to be in the first two days, and he still spent time drinking behind his back, and sent people to buy two new girls outside. Jia Lian has not seen Jia He since he moved over, and he secretly hated it, and he must get rid of those bad problems in the past and make a career. Therefore, although he doesn't like to read the Four Books and Five Classics, he has forced himself to sit at the desk for a while longer, and if he doesn't understand, there is a Jia Zhu to ask, and Jia Zhu is also very patient.
On this day, Jia Lian went with Jia Zhu to ask for peace to the Wang family, because the Wang family treated him very well, and he was not as sad as the Zhang family every day, and he was also quite close to the Wang family in his heart.
Walking to the bottom of the corridor, I saw a little boy standing there, about six or seven years old, with a snow-white face, raw pink makeup, wrapped in a red cloak, round and lovely like a hairball. Seeing Jia Zhu coming, he pulled out his hand from his cloak and saluted, "Hello big brother!" Jia Lian was wondering when there would be such a brother in the family, so he heard Jia Zhu laugh and said: "You monkey is naughty again, why did you go out in boy's clothes?" Aunt doesn't care about you. He said to Jia Lian again: "You haven't seen her, this is my uncle's cousin, she has loved to wear boys' clothes since she was a child, and her nickname is Brother Feng." Jia Lian knew that this was a girl, and also saluted: "Sister Feng is good." ”
Brother Feng tilted his head and looked at Jia Lian for a long time, and said, "Where are you from?" How come I never saw you at my aunt's house? ”
Jia Lian looked at the bright face, and somehow couldn't say which family his family was, or Jia Zhu looked at him embarrassed, and said: "This is my uncle's brother, who is studying with me now, you just call him Lian's second brother." ”
Brother Feng smiled: "I'll just say, it must not be a child of my aunt's family, but you are really good-looking, better than Brother Zhu." ”
Jia Lian had never heard anyone say that he was good-looking. It turned out that because of Jia He's problem, when he chose a wife, Shi also took a lot of thought to think about marrying a high-ranking daughter-in-law, in case he didn't like it if he didn't like it, he would inevitably offend the Yue family, and although Zhang's background was not high, he was better than his beauty, and maybe he could be caged at home, so he decided to set Zhang's family. And Jia Lian's appearance is eight points with his mother, and he can't help but be a little delicate compared to the boys, and no one has always talked about this. Now when I heard someone praise him like this, it was still from the mouth of a little girl, and I was immediately blushing with shame.
Jia Zhu smiled: "Even if this brother is good-looking, you will only recognize him as a brother in the future, and don't talk to me again." ”
Brother Feng didn't speak, glanced at Jia Lian twice, turned around and ran away.
Even if there were foreign guests, Jia Lian couldn't go with him anymore, so he found an excuse to leave first, and came back another day to say goodbye.
Jia Zhu went to Wang's room by himself, and it turned out that Liu Shi, the wife and uncle of Wang Ziteng, had arrived.
This Liu is the stepwife of Wang Ziteng, who died of illness two years ago, leaving only a son and a daughter. Last year, Liu Ziteng remarried this Liu, and he has no children so far, and the children left by the former wife are regarded as his own.
Because the Wang family did not return to her parents' house this year, the Liu family brought her daughter Feng Ge'er to visit today. After saying a few words, Feng Ge'er felt that the house was depressed and wanted to run out to play by herself, and she was impatient with the maid and mother-in-law to serve, so she just walked around by herself, because she had an idea since she was a child, and Liu didn't dare to talk about her, so she had to follow her from a distance to prevent her from wrestling. didn't want to make more than a cup of tea, she ran back by herself, and after a while, Jia Zhu also came in after her.
Wang said: "Why did I go back to the house so quickly, it turned out that I saw you coming, this girl is too old to know that she is shy, and she has become honest when she sees her brother." ”
Jia Zhu said: "No, Lian'er also came just now, and she got Feng Yatou's long looks, and she was so ashamed that her face turned red, and she hid back, saying that she would come back another day to say goodbye to her mother." ”
Liu said: "I don't know which one my nephew is talking about?" ”
Wang sighed: "Which one else! It was the son of my uncle's family, and his mother went a few years ago, and his wife thought that he was young and had no one to accompany him, so she let him live here and study with Zhu'er. ”
Although Liu was wondering, he thought of the rare things he had heard about Uncle Jiafu before, and he didn't want to ask too much, so he smiled and said: "It was Brother Feng'er's abrupt family, and now I am about to tell my sister, this girl has loved to dress up as a man since she was a child, and she doesn't like the flowers that girls love, she just likes to follow her brother crazy and play crazy, your brother doesn't care about her, now that she is getting older, I am anxious, but I can't do it, she has been close to her sister since she was a child, and now you persuade her, if it goes on like this, how can you say it in the future!" ”
Brother Feng'er, who listened, said loudly: "I'll go to Sister Yuanchun to play." And he ran out.
The Wang family was busy with the good life to take her over, and ordered the girl to go to Shi's side to ask if the wife was free, so that she could go with her sister-in-law and niece to ask for peace.
He said to Liu's again: "You see that when you mention others, isn't she also shy?" The child is still young, take your time, our girls, in the future, will only pick other people's shares, where to let them pick and choose, and our family has always paid attention to women's lack of talent is virtue, girls don't need to read and write, I think Brother Feng doesn't like to dance and ink, it's better for you to coax her to do this in the future, you have to send her to study with her brother, see what she says. ”
Liu smiled: "This is a good idea, every time she sees her brother studying, she hides far away, as if she is afraid of something, just like this, she looks like a girl again." ”
After talking for a while, the Wang family sent the people from Shi's side back, and said: "Mrs. is thinking about people talking, please grandma accompany her grandmother to sit together, and said that she wants grandma to dress warmly and walk slowly, so that the girl can hold her alive." ”
Liu said: "I only heard that your wife is a well-known benevolent person, and now I can be regarded as knowledgeable, so considerate and thoughtful, sister, you are blessed!" ”
Wang said: "Exactly, although I am a daughter-in-law, my wife has no difference between me and my daughter, and I often say that I don't know how many generations of good fortune I have cultivated." ”
So while walking to Shi's place, before entering the courtyard gate, I heard a burst of laughter inside, and when the curtain was lifted to enter, I saw Shi sitting on the collapse, holding a phoenix brother in his arms with his right hand, leaning forward and closing his back while laughing, Jia Yuanchun was sitting on the left hand, covering his mouth with a handkerchief, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and the maids in the room were also bowing their heads and bending down, laughing non-stop.
