Let's say that the mandarin duck went out of the courtyard, his face was still red, and his heart was sudden, as if he had been bumped into by someone. just thought that Si Qi was his friend, and he must not say it, so he hid it in his heart and didn't say it to anyone. returned to the room and restored Jia's mother's life, and everyone rested in peace. Leave it at ease.

It turned out that Na Siqi had lived with his aunt and cousin as a child, and when he was a child, he joked that he would marry each other when he grew up. Now that they've grown up, they're in each other's good looks. So when Si Qi went home, the two of them frowned, and they never forgot the old love, and they didn't have a chance. I was afraid that each other's parents would not agree to this marriage, so the two tried to buy off the old woman who was watching the garden and kept the door for him. I didn't enjoy it too much, but I was shocked by the sudden arrival of the mandarin duck. The little guy was also listening to the call outside Jiafu, and he was busy wearing flowers and willows, and went out through the side door. Si Qi couldn't sleep well all night, and he couldn't help it if he regretted it. When I saw the mandarin duck the next day, my face was red and white, and I couldn't get over it in every way. With a ghost fetus in his heart, he had no intention of tea and rice, and he was in a trance. It wasn't until a few days later, when I saw that there was no movement, that I calmed down a little.

That night, the mother-in-law who stayed at the door came to her and whispered, "Your cousin has escaped and hasn't been to work for three or four days." Now send people around looking for him. When Si Qi heard this, he was angry, so he thought: "Even if it is a trouble, it should die together." He was a man, so he left first, which shows that he is a ruthless person. Therefore, another layer of qi was added, and gradually the anger became a serious illness.

We said that at that time, it was not okay to fall in love, even if you reached the age of love, without the approval of your parents, you would get along with anyone, and it was not okay, it was also cheating, it was adultery, and it was a scandal to get together with Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying. It's disrespectful to your parents, and it's like a beast that only knows how to listen to your own desires, not a human being. If the affair is over, the two of them report to their parents, and quickly get married in Haiti without letting outsiders know, it is barely possible, but it is also regarded as an ugly thing by their parents, and they will die of anger. If you cheat, and there is no good, you divide it, and then you get along with others, but it doesn't work out, then this spreads, and she is said to be a **, such a girl, if she wants to marry a good person in the future, I'm afraid no one will want it. Because it was dishonest when she was a daughter. Therefore, daughters must avoid men before marriage and cannot have sexual relations. Marriage also has to wait for the words of the parents. It is said that in the Republic of China, if a man and a woman walked alone on the road and were seen by the clansmen, it was a crime to be buried alive. If you're alone at night, it's okay. It is a capital offense for a man and a woman to have a private affair without their parents. That is, what Si Qi said, "should also die together".

Based on the same legal principle, Daiyu is currently avoiding Baoyu, or although she can't talk about hiding, she also keeps a distance of one foot when they meet, and can't touch each other. also asked the maid to avoid Baoyu a little. This is the way to listen to your parents and know the etiquette. Baoyu said, "It's indispensable for the two of us", don't listen to this.

Otherwise, he will go all the way with Second Sister You's pre-marital behavior, and he will be pointed at when he marries in the future. Second Sister You had an inappropriate sexual relationship before marriage. In short, if you want to be emotional, you should stop at the four basic principles, and it is not okay to fall in love with someone unmarried or pull and pull or even happen. This is called adultery, and like a thief, you must be killed if you catch it. No wonder that little guy ran away. There was a pedantic father who found out that her daughter had an affair, so he forced her to commit suicide, and happily said that he had finally maintained the face of the family. Therefore, in the past, Lin Daiyu was ignorant and read a book like Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying in "The Legend of the West Chamber" who cheated before marriage and became pregnant, can Baochai not persuade her?

Let's not talk about this first, but in the past two days, Sister Feng's voice has been a little lazy, not like in the past, so the mandarin duck came to ask Hou. When I entered the hall, I saw Ping'er coming out, so I said, "I'll come and see the second grandmother." Ping'er smiled and said, "She just took a bite of food and took a nap, so come and sit in this house." ”

So he led the mandarin duck to the east house. The little girl poured tea, and the mandarin duck quietly asked, "What's wrong with your grandmother in the past two days?" I see her lazy. Ping'er paused for a moment and sighed: "She's not just lazy today, she was like this a month ago." After catching up with the past few days and being busy for a few days, and suffering from some idleness, I hooked up the illness again. In the past two days, I have become more sick than the day before, so I can't support it, so I show my feet. The mandarin duck hurriedly said: "In this case, why don't you ask a doctor to treat it earlier." Ping'er sighed and said, "My sister, you don't know her temper yet. Don't talk about asking the doctor to take medicine, I just casually asked her what she felt, and she got angry and said that I cursed her sick. Rao is like this, he still inspects the umbrella every day, and he always refuses to see through it, and only goes to cultivate his body. ”

The mandarin duck said, "Then why is she bad?" Ping'er leaned forward and whispered in her ear: "Even since last month's menstruation, this month has not stopped. It's a serious illness, isn't it? When the mandarin duck heard this, he hurriedly replied, "Oh! According to you, this is not a bloody landslide. Ping'er hurriedly took a sip, and then smiled quietly and said: "Your girl's family, you know what kind of disease you have, but you can curse people." When the mandarin duck saw this, he couldn't help blushing, and said with a quiet smile: "I don't know much either, but I heard my mother say that my sister died of this disease first." I don't know much about what it is. Ping'er smiled and said, "Yes, you should have heard someone say it, but I forgot about it." ”

While the two were talking, Jia Lian came in, and when he saw that the mandarin duck was also here, he smiled and said, "Sister mandarin duck, you are stepping on the ground today." The mandarin duck only sat and said with a smile: "I came to ask grandparents to be safe, just in time for her to sleep." Jia Lian smiled and said: "My sister has worked hard to serve the old lady all year round, I haven't gone to see you yet, where do you dare to work to come and see us." It just so happened that I was about to go to my sister and asked for something. As he spoke, he sat down in his chair.

The mandarin duck then asked, "What can the master ask me for?" Jia Lian said: "That's the case, because of the old lady's birthday in the past two days, the existing thousands of taels of silver have been used. The rent and land tax on several houses will not be paid until September, and this time it will not be available. Ming'er has to give gifts to Nan'an Mansion again, and she has to prepare the Double Ninth Festival Ceremony for Niangniang, as well as a few red and white gifts, at least three or two thousand taels of silver, and it is difficult to borrow it for a while. As the saying goes, it is better to ask for others than for yourself. I can't say, my sister is not responsible, and for the time being, she smuggled out a box of gold and silver guys that the old lady couldn't find, and temporarily stook thousands of taels of silver to support it. In the first half of the year, when the money came, I redeemed it and returned it, and I couldn't let my sister fall wrong. ”

When the mandarin duck heard this, he smiled and said, "You will change the law, how can you come up with it." Jia Lian smiled and said: "It's not that I'm lying, if I want to say that in addition to my sister, there are other people who have thousands of taels of silver in their hands, but they are not as clear and courageous as you." If I talk to them, they are frightened. So I'd rather hit the Admiralty than break the drum 3,000. Before she could say a word, suddenly a little girl from Jia's mother came to look for the mandarin duck, and the mandarin duck heard that she was busy and went to see Jia's mother.

Jia Lian saw him go, so he had to come back to see Sister Feng. Who knew that Sister Feng had woken up, and Jia Lian came in and told her about borrowing from Mandarin Ducks. Sister Feng lay on the couch and said, "Did she agree?" Jia Lian smiled and said: "Although I didn't agree with it, I was a little willing." I need you to talk to her again in the evening, and it's done. Sister Feng smiled and said, "I don't care about this." But if it is right, and what you say now is good, when you have money, you will throw it at the back of your neck, and who will pay the famine for you. If the old lady finds out, she will lose all my face in the past few years. ”

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Good man, if you help make up your mind, how about I thank you?" Sister Feng smiled and said, "You say, how can you thank me?" Jia Lian smiled and said, "I'll give you whatever you want?" Ping'er smiled and said, "Grandma doesn't need to thank you." Yesterday, I was saying that if I want to do one thing, it happens to be less than one or two hundred taels of silver, so it is better to wait for the money to come, and grandma will take one or two hundred taels and use it, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds. Sister Feng smiled and said, "Fortunately, you reminded me, that's it." Jia Lian smiled and said, "You guys are too ruthless." Now you will not say one hundred and two hundred, but three or five thousand pieces of silver, and you will be able to take it out immediately. I won't borrow it from you. It's really amazing to bother you to say something, and you want a profit. ”

When Sister Feng heard this, she turned over and said, "I have 350,000 yuan, and I didn't earn you." Now inside and out, up and down behind my back, chewing on my back, saying that I have a lot, just to tell you, you can know that 'no family can't lead ghosts outside'. Where our Wang family has money, it is all earned by your Jia family. Don't call me disgusting. What are you doing when your family is Shi Chong Deng Tong. Sweep the cracks in the ground of my king's house, and it will be enough for you to live a lifetime. Don't be afraid to say it! Now there is a testimony, and take a closer look at the dowry of my wife and mine, and compare it with yours, which one is not worthy of you. Jia Lian smiled and said: "It's a joke to be in a hurry." What is this, what is it worth to make one or two hundred taels of silver, and if there is no more, there is more, how about it for you to use it first when it comes out? Sister Feng said: "I don't wait for the back of the mouth (the dead man wants to put money in the mouth), I am busy with that." Jia Lian said: "Why bother to come like this, don't be guilty of such a liver fire." When Sister Feng heard this, she laughed to herself again and said, "It's not that I'm in a hurry, what you said pierces people's hearts." Because I thought that the day after tomorrow was the anniversary of Second Sister You, we got better, although we couldn't do anything else, in the end it was also a sister to burn a piece of paper on her grave. Therefore, it is still one or two hundred taels of silver. ”

In one sentence, Jia Lian was speechless, and he lowered his head and thought for a long time before he said: "It's hard to think about everything, I actually forgot." Since it will only be used the day after tomorrow, if you get the money for this bet tomorrow, you can use as much as you want. ”

Just as he was talking about this, I saw Wang'er's daughter-in-law walk in. Sister Feng asked, "How is it, but has it been." Wang's daughter-in-law said, "No." I have to call the shots with my grandmother. Jia Lian asked, "What's the matter?" When Sister Feng asked, she said, "It's not a big deal." Wang'er has a son who is seventeen years old this year and doesn't have a daughter-in-law, so he wants Caiyun in his wife's room. The day before yesterday, my wife saw that Caiyun was big, and the second was sick and calamitous (Caiyun had contracted an incurable disease since she broke up with Jia Huan), so Kaien sent her out and gave her Lao Ziniang to find a son-in-law by herself. (Jiafu regularly allotted some older maids to the school-age maids in the garden to marry, or returned them to their parents without charging a price, so that they could choose their own sons-in-law.) It's a good government, if you change to another family, you have to pay for redemption when you come out). Therefore Wang's daughter-in-law came to me. I think his two families are also a good match, and it will come naturally, but who knows that she will come here and say no. ”

Jia Lian smiled and said: "What kind of big deal is this, it's much better than Caiyun." ”

Wang's daughter-in-law laughed and said: "Although my lord said so, even her family still looks down on us, and others look down on us more and more." It's easy to see a daughter-in-law, I just said to ask for the grace of my grandparents, and I said it instead. Grandma said that she would be willing, so I asked a matchmaker to try it, but it was not interesting to ask for nothing. If the child is still willing, it's just that her two old things are too high-minded and unwilling. "I still beg Sister Jia Lianfeng to come forward and say this, so that she will have a good face. Sister Feng saw that Jia Lian was here, so she didn't make a sound, just looked at Jia Lian's meaning. Jia Lian has something in his heart, where to take this idea to heart. Regardless of it, he saw that she was Sister Feng's companion, and she usually made a contribution, and her face was really unbearable, so she said: "What's a big deal, just coo." I acted as a matchmaker tomorrow, sent two decent people, and brought Dingli to her mother to say, just say my idea. Her mother still didn't follow and asked her to come to me. Wang's daughter-in-law looked at Sister Feng, and Sister Feng was pouting.

Wang's daughter-in-law understood, and hurriedly climbed down and kowtowed to Jia Lian to thank her. Jia Lian hurriedly said, "You only kowtow to your second grandmother." Although I said so, in the end, your second grandmother had to call Caiyun's mother to come up and talk to her better. Though they will obey, let it not be overbearing. Sister Feng hurriedly said: "Even you are worried about it like this, I can't stand by and watch?" Wang'er's family, you heard about this, and you hurriedly finished it for me. Speaking to you man, all the accounts outside will be collected at the end of this year, and I will not rely on one less money. I have a bad reputation, and if I leave it for another year, I'll be eaten raw. Wang's daughter-in-law smiled and said, "Grandma is too timid, who dares to talk about grandma!" Of course, if we accept it, we will save trouble and not offend people much. "It means that Sister Feng wants to take back the total amount of monthly money that was released, even the principal and interest, and will not release it anymore.

Sister Feng sneered when she heard this and said, "I'm also an infatuated vain." I'm still waiting for the money to do something, but it's because I have more to pay for it and less to get in. In this house, the monthly money of me and your second master for a month, and then the monthly money of the four girls, a total of one or twenty taels of silver, is not enough for three or five days. If I hadn't gotten a lot of money, I wouldn't have known what kind of broken kiln I would have gotten into. Now there is a name for a broken account. In that case, I took it all back. I don't know how to spend money than anyone, so we'll sit and spend it in the future, when it will be. No, this time on the old lady's birthday, the wife was anxious for two months, and she couldn't think of a way, so I mentioned it, and there were four or five boxes of big copper and tin guys upstairs that didn't matter, and they were sold for three hundred taels of silver, and then the wife's shame ceremony was passed. (It means that Mrs. Wang wants to give the old lady a birthday gift, but she has no money, and she has to use it as something in the Wang family's house to change money into a gift, so Sister Feng lends money for 'public' use.) Mrs. Wang has some places where she needs to spend money, and Sister Feng and Jia Lian also have places like spending money on the old lady's birthday, and relying on twenty taels of money alone is not enough to support it). I haven't lived outside today (there is not enough place to spend money on diplomacy), I don't know whose idea it was to search for the old lady (referring to what Jia Lian just did). In another year, everyone will find the first clothes, and it will be fine! ”

Wang's daughter-in-law smiled and said: "Which wife's grandmother's head and face clothes are not enough to live a lifetime, but she just refuses." ”

Before he could say a word, someone came from "outside", and someone replied: "Xia Taifu sent a little eunuch to speak." When Jia Lian heard this, he frowned and said, "What's the matter, they want enough for a year." Sister Feng said: "You hide, wait for me to see him, if it is a small matter, I will agree, and if it is a big thing, I will refuse him." Jia Lian hid in the inner suite, because it was not good for him to refuse, a man could not have a face, and a woman could have no face.

Here Sister Feng ordered someone to bring the little eunuch in, let him sit on a chair and eat tea, and asked him what was the matter. The little eunuch said, "Grandpa Xia (the former eunuch Xia) recently happened to see a house, and now there is a shortage of two hundred taels of silver, so he sent me to ask my uncle and grandmother that I have one or two hundred silver for the time being, and I will send it over in two days." Sister Feng heard this, smiled and said, "What was sent over, some of it was silver, just take it first." Another day, when we are missing, it will be the same to borrow it from your house. ”

The little eunuch said: "Grandpa Xia also said that there are still 1,200 taels of silver that have not been sent to you last two times, and when the end of this year is over, they will naturally be sent together." "—This is a debt that has not been paid before.

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Your Grandpa Xia is so stingy, this is also worth remembering." If I say a word, I'm not afraid that he will be too careful, if we all remember it like this, we don't know how much. So he called Wang's daughter-in-law and said, "Go out and pay two hundred taels first." ”

Wang's daughter-in-law understood, so she smiled and said, "I just didn't move anywhere else, so I came to ask grandma for everything." ”

Sister Feng said: "You will only come inside to ask for money, so you and the outside (on the public account) will not be able to." Then he called Ping'er and said, "Take out my two gold collars, and make them four hundred taels of silver for the time being." ”

Ping'er agreed, went for a long time, and sure enough, she took a brocade box, one of the two bracelets in it was gold and silk beads, the pearls were the size of lotus seeds, and the other was a point of emerald inlaid gems. And then he took it out again, and sure enough, he brought four hundred taels of silver.

Sister Feng ordered to give 200 taels to the little eunuch, and the remaining 200 taels to Wang's daughter-in-law, asking her to take them to the Mid-Autumn Festival. The little eunuch took his leave. Sister Feng expressed two meanings here, one is that it is not good for us to ask for money in the public account, so we have to give it to my sister Feng and Jia Lian, and the other is that we have no money, so we can only be used as jewelry for you, you know this, I am already poor here, don't come to us if you are embarrassed.

Seeing that the eunuch was gone, Jia Lian came out and said with a smile: "When will such a stranger be!" Yesterday, Eunuch Zhou came, and he asked for a thousand taels when he opened his mouth. I said yes a little slower, and he didn't feel comfortable. There will be many things that will offend people in the future. It would be nice to make another three or two million fortunes. ”

It's also strange here, people from outside came to ask for money, why didn't Jia Lian go to Jia Yu or Jia Zheng? About these two elders don't have any private money, or have private money, they don't want to give it to him. And on the public account, I'm afraid that there is no money, so just now Jia Lian had to steal Jia's mother's things to sell, so that he could do things outside. It turned out that he was poor like this.

It's really less in, but the festival is big and the flowers are more. It's not easy to be a rich man.

Sister Jia Lian Feng said, Sister Feng went to wash her face and change her clothes, and went to Jia's mother outside to serve dinner. Jia Lian also came out and went to his study. The maintenance of the main affairs of the Jia family mainly depends on the two of them. As soon as he arrived at the study, Lin Zhixiao came in, Jia Lian asked him what was the matter, Lin Zhixiao said: "I just heard that Jia Yu Village has fallen, but I don't know why." (Descended from the official rank of the Grand Sima of the Imperial Court.) Jia Lian said: "It's not surprising, his official son may not be able to keep it long." If there is something in the future, I am afraid that we may not be implicated, but it is better to alienate him a little. "——I know that Jia Yucun is not a good person, and for the sake of the fan, I will make people ruined, so I know that Jia Yucun will not be mixed up for a long time, and I am afraid that something will happen to Jia Yucun, and we will be implicated. Lin Zhixiao said: "Why not, it's just that it's difficult to distance yourself for a while." Now Uncle Dongfu (Jia Zhen) is better with him, and the master (Jia Yu) likes him again, and he often comes and goes, but I don't know. Jia Lian said: "Hengzhu doesn't work with him, but he is generally good and irrelevant." Inquire again. ”

Jia Lian said again: "By the way, I have one thing. Our Wang'er kid wants to talk about the colorful clouds in the wife's room. His daughter-in-law came to beg me, I think of something big, you can send someone, tell the Caiyun Niang to go, and say what I mean. ”

When Lin Zhixiao heard this, he had no choice but to respond, and said with a smile for a while: "According to me, the second master should leave this matter alone." Although Wang'er's youngest son is young, he drinks and gambles outside, and he does everything. Although I haven't seen Caiyun's child, I can tell that it is better to be more and more provocative, so why bother to trample on her in vain. ”

Jia Lian said: "His youngest son is so unadult? Lin Zhixiao sneered and said: "Not only drink and gamble, but do everything outside." Jia Lian said, "I don't know about it." In this case, where to return it to his wife, and give him a stick, lock it up, and ask him again. Lin Zhixiao smiled and said, "Why bother at this time. Then when he makes a mistake in the future, we will naturally go back to the master to treat him. Jia Lian was silent, and Lin Zhixiao went out for a while.

In the evening, Sister Feng had already ordered someone to call Caiyun's mother to be a matchmaker. That Caixia's mother was full of reluctance, but when she saw Sister Feng telling her in person, how decent she was, she couldn't help but go out. At this time, Sister Feng asked Jia Lian and sent someone to tell Caiyun's family if she had not, Jia Lian said: "I was going to say it, but I heard that his son is very unadult, so he hasn't said it yet." If he is really not an adult, discipline him for two days first, and then give his wife no food later. When Sister Feng heard this, she said, "However, I have already told her so far, and her mother happily agreed, did she ask her to come in and say that she didn't want it?" Jia Lian said: "Since you said it, why retreat, Ming'er told him to discipline him well." "I don't talk about it here.

Let's say that Caiyun went out the day before yesterday because he was old and sick, and came to live in his own house, waiting for his parents to choose someone. In recent days, I have seen Wang'er come to ask for marriage every time, and I have heard that Wang'er's son is drunk and gambling, and he is ugly, and he has no skills, so he has been even more annoyed in his heart. I am afraid that Wang'er will rely on Sister Feng's power to make this marriage happen for a while, and she will be unlucky for life, and she can't help but feel impatient. So at night, he quietly ordered his sister-in-law to go to Jiafu to find Aunt Zhao and ask about the situation.

Aunt Zhao is very compatible with Caiyun, and she can't wait to give her to Jia Huan, so she has an arm, but she doesn't want Mrs. Wang to let her out. So he often instigated Jia Huan to ask Mrs. Wang to be her concubine or something, but Jia Huan was embarrassed (because he had to admit that he had a sneaky affair with Caiyun), and Jia Huan didn't care much, she was just a girl, she went, and she would naturally have it in the future, so she dragged it out and didn't say it, meaning forget it. Helplessly, Aunt Zhao was reluctant, and when she saw her sister-in-law coming to ask, she was free at night and went to ask Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng said: "What are you busy with, it's not too late to wait for them to study for another year or two before giving concubines." I already have a crush on two girls, one for Baoyu and one for Huan'er. It's just that they are all young, and they are afraid that they will miss their studies (if they have concubines, they will not read books), so they will wait another year or two. Aunt Zhao said: "Baoyu has had a concubine for two years, and the master still doesn't know?" Jia Zheng listened and hurriedly asked, "Who gave it?" Aunt Zhao wanted to say that she was attacking, but she heard a noise outside the window, and she didn't know what it was, so she was startled. To know the end, and listen to the next breakdown.
