Yucuo of the Red Chamber

Chapter 129

Sister Feng nodded and said: "My aunt is also someone who has been here. Since I said so, I listen to you. My business is over, but it is the third girl. What is the matter with her?"

How dare Aunt Zhao speak to these masters so boldly now, and she is not even afraid of Sister Feng, so she dares to interrupt like that?In fact, it is also simple, people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless?Aunt Zhao heard Jia Zheng's words that day, she looked back and thought about it, and it really made sense, but a few days ago she was filled with righteous indignation and stood up for Daiyu, although most of it was out of righteousness; Xiaoban still couldn't understand Mrs. Wang's behavior, and she was a little bit worse. But no matter what, how could Mrs. Wang let her go so easily?

She just came out from Jiamu's place, no matter if she loses her dignity, she can't care about others at the moment, so Mrs. Wang will try to avenge her words at the first thing.Besides, Aunt Zhao is a member of her house, who comes to her ten times a day to set the rules, the more she sees her, the more unpleasant she is, so she makes things difficult for her in every way, either pointing fingers at Sanghuai, or wanting to vent her anger.

In this way, Aunt Zhao did not regret it, she just felt that she had done a decent thing for the first time, although she swallowed her anger in front of Madam Wang, she refused to take it lightly.Going back to his room, he told Jia Zheng about the matter. Although Jia Zheng was angry for a while, after listening to Aunt Zhao's good words and persuasion, Baoyu was not young anymore, and it was okay to have children. His lovely wife and loving son held his heart, no matter how hard he tried to persuade him, maybe he could turn back.So I agree with it very much, and praised her a few more words. Aunt Zhao is even more complacent and full of confidence, thinking that she has done a good job.

Mrs. Wang saw that a few words were useless to make things difficult, so she called Sister Feng away, saying that the family is difficult now, and it is necessary to be frugal, so she will halve the summer clothes for Aunt Zhao, and that Jia Huan is in the study. Studying, not going out, getting rid of one of his servants, and so on, and so on.By the way, I also asked Sister Feng to help her think of a way, only saying that the house is difficult, and everything should start from her yard to set an example.By the way, Aunt Zhou's age was also reduced.

Although Sister Feng has always disliked Aunt Zhao as a person, a few days ago she made such a fuss again, and she hated it even more.But after that, for some unknown reason, she calmed down and restrained herself a bit. Seeing Shang Xia, she became more and more respectful and self-respectful; and now she was implicated because of Daiyu's appearance, how could she stand it?At the moment, he reluctantly complied with Mrs. Wang's words, and remembered it along the way after he came out.Now she regards Daiyu as a sister, since she has received Zhao's kindness, she naturally has no reason to accept it in vain, and she must repay her in her heart; otherwise, she has no reason to repay her kindness, she can't do it.

The poem goes: "Throw me a papaya, and repay it with Qiongju. A bandit repays it, and it will always be good! Throw me a peach, and repay it with Qiongyao. A bandit repays it, and it will always be good! Throw me a tree and plum, Repay it with Qiong Jiu. The bandit repays it, and it will always be good!" Sister Feng doesn't understand poetry, but the reasoning is similar.She herself can rein in herself from a precipice, repent and change, and of course Aunt Zhao can too. If she can help her again, it will be a beautiful thing for everyone to cultivate virtue and go to the Western Paradise together.

Thinking so well at the moment, he went to Aunt Zhao's room, pretending to order and reprimand, but at the same time giving her signs.After being overwhelmed by others, she was only allowed to bear it for the time being. Although on the face of it, she would suffer and suffer some grievances, but after a while, Xiaohong was asked to send her some money, etc., which was actually more than the share.Aunt Zhao was flattered at the moment, and Sister Feng also said that it was just that she was underpaid in the past, and now she will make up for it.I just want the whole family to be more harmonious, and let it go.

After Sister Feng and the girl left, the more Aunt Zhao thought about it, the more she felt uncomfortable.In the past, she was tearing her face and throwing herself into the sea, and she didn't fight for anything. Who knows that she can only say a word, but now even Sister Feng is willing to treat her well, and she is sitting on the kang and holding it in her hand as if she has received the imperial gift from the emperor. When I looked at it, I burst into tears.Although that little thing is only worth a hundred and ten taels of silver, the decency it brings is far more than that; more importantly, everyone still has her in their eyes and is willing to respect her, not her usual What I thought: Everyone looks down on aunts, and to be an aunt is to be humble.

Some things were not so, and some things happened by coincidence.In fact, my aunt is only half a master, and her status is of course inferior. Sister Feng really hated her before.But besides being related to herself, these are also Sister Feng's wholehearted efforts to reform, who knows that it falls into Aunt Zhao's eyes, or she only sees that everyone still has a respect for her.

Now she is appreciated by Sister Feng; after that, Li Wan and Yuanyang also showed affection to her, so they also changed, and they refused to be as frivolous as before. Needlework, or take a quiet walk in the garden.Aunt Zhao's needlework is even better than Qingwen's, and she is ingenious and handy. As long as she puts in a little effort, she can make things that ordinary people can't match.In addition, she has quick hands and feet, so she makes some things and gives them to everyone, not for reward or to please, but purely because she wants to "be good with everyone forever".Besides, sister Xifeng's son Daiyu didn't think too much about it, so she thanked her and accepted it.

After a few days like this, they got on better terms.Dare to speak, dare to say things.Besides, how old is she, and she serves Jia Zheng, everyone respects her, and there are a lot of things going on in the house now, and she knows a lot from watching from the sidelines, so she occasionally gives advice to everyone, one or two The answer is not bad. Now that I heard such a big deal, I couldn't help but say it.The others didn't feel that Aunt Zhao's question was sudden, and Sister Feng also felt that it made sense, so they accepted it, so that's fine.

And when Sister Feng made up her mind, she asked Aunt Zhao again.If everyone started to respect her and saw that Tanchun was still the same, they gradually sympathized with her and felt sorry for her.Except for Sister Feng, others also cared and asked.

Aunt Zhao couldn't bear to be asked by everyone, she was about to speak, her eyes turned red again, and she sighed: "I don't know what crime I did, but I gave birth to such a daughter, but it always seems like I have a grudge against me; even if I How many were wrong before? After all, she was born by me. How could I really harm her? How old is she, and how much can she know about the world, she refuses to listen to me about everything, but listens to my wife. I'm afraid I will end up eating Lost, who can control her then?"

Li Wan persuaded: "Miss San is still young and doesn't understand some truths, but she will understand when she gets older. And now she is with the wife, and the wife only treats her as a daughter, so it will be fine if you think about it."

Sister Feng said quickly: "I'm afraid that my wife may not have the intention to treat her well. She was cold for a while, who knows what kind of heart she is at this time. I'm not saying that, although my aunt is not as decent as my wife, she is the one who kissed me after all. Mother, how could it be so easy to act like an enemy. Besides, to be filial to your parents, even if your parents have done it, you should do your duty as a child. Since she has so much ability, why can't she find a way to take care of her parents? Could it be that she can change the fact by ignoring her aunt at all? I'm afraid she will end up with a reputation of being ungrateful, ungrateful and unfilial, and the gain outweighs the loss."

Li Wan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't stir the flames anymore. The third girl is smart and sensible. It's for the good of my aunt if she stays away from her. If she and Huan'er both follow her, wouldn't it seem more hostile? Even if there is no such thing The heart also has this fruit, let’s let it go if you can.”

Daiyu said: "What my sister-in-law said is that I am afraid that I will lose my nature for a while, but if I understand it in the future, it will be fine."

Aunt Zhao shook her head and said: "I thought so too, but I'm afraid she was deceived by lard, so she may not be willing to listen like this. She is smart and capable, and she is too capable. It will not be a good thing in the future. What Second Mistress said is Well, what Grandma said made sense, I didn't dare to argue with her, and I didn't dare to take it seriously. I just thought that she was my daughter, and there was such an important matter right now, so I still wanted to persuade her, for her own good. It's a pity that she is so smart, she may not listen to me."

Everyone sighed for a while, and then mentioned that there was something wrong, and they asked together again. I don't know what it is that made Mrs. Zhao so worried, and insisted on telling her even though her daughter ignored her?Where did Tanchun go?

Seeing that everyone was really worried, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly said: "Everyone knows about the draft..."

Xichun said coldly: "It's useless for my aunt to persuade you about this matter. I just wait for the third sister to become a mother in the future and come back to honor you."

Mrs. Zhao shook her head and said, "Where is it so easy in the palace? You are all young, or you came from behind, I'm afraid you may not know. I heard..." Mrs. Zhao glanced around, and quickly lowered her voice and whispered, "I heard that today's I have met the aunt and wife, and I like it very much. At the beginning, there was no crown princess... This old lady was not willing to let the aunt into the palace, but married far away in the south of the Yangtze River, so as not to cause trouble in the future. Now the empress is like this The end, and there are too many empresses in the palace who can't die well. With her temperament, she is so competitive... She is no worse than the second grandma. Relying on her own reading and writing, and our family's support, she may not be able to swallow her anger in the future If you are a servant, you will inevitably suffer losses. Besides, even if you have been a concubine for a lifetime, I have heard that our concubine cried from beginning to end when she came back, and I think you have seen it..."

Everyone was taken aback, everyone was looking forward to entering the palace to be a concubine, but they didn't want Mrs. Zhao to still have these opinions, and after telling such a secret, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to speak.Daiyu was even more surprised, she didn't expect her mother to marry far away alone, so there was such a reason, no wonder her mother has always refused to go to Beijing, and tried to be simple and low-key at home, presumably because she didn't want to be conspicuous.

After a while, Xichun suddenly remembered, and asked: "So the Empress Dowager also knew Auntie, and now Auntie died young, so she loves Sister Lin very much. Or someone mentioned it, so she called Sister Lin into the palace. Besides, the old ancestor seems to be very kind to Sister Lin recently, is it because he thinks that the emperor will see it for Sister Lin's sake?"
