The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Fate is determined by God, and it cannot be redeemed by human power.

In the end, Lin Ruhai didn't wait until he was sick and old to return home, and died in the capital first.

Lin Ruhai's ancestral home was in Suzhou, he himself had been an official in Beijing not long ago, and he didn't have many relatives and friends in Beijing, so his death did not cause much disturbance in the capital.Apart from the Rongguo Mansion, only a few close friends of Lin Ruhai who received the obituary came to offer their condolences.

Jia Lian naturally put aside everything and stayed in Lin's mansion every day, asking for his obituary, almost doing everything by himself.

Jia's mother, Jia Zheng and his wife, Mrs. Xing, and other people from all over the Rongguo Mansion came to express their condolences.

Among them, Jia's mother was the most sad, crying a lot in the mourning hall, saying that she had expected that Jia Min and Lin Ruhai's two children would not live long, and now Daiyu was left alone, leaving her alone , not a competent parent...

Jia Baoyu also came.However, Mrs. Jia Muwang and others had discussed with Jia Lian long ago, and kept the matter between him and Daiyu from Jia Baoyu for the time being. All the people in the Lin family who knew the matter deliberately did not discuss this matter in front of him.

It's also because the Lin family is thin, and very few of the Jia family knew about this matter, so Jia Baoyu stayed in the Lin family for a long time, but he didn't hear any rumors.

On this day, Wang Xifeng also packed up the Lin family to express condolences.

She is a person who can't stay idle and likes to meddle in other people's affairs. Seeing that the Lin family is short of people and handling things is too simple, she helps her to make arrangements.

Seeing that Daiyu was graceful and graceful, weak and unpretentious, she couldn't bear to let her cry for a long time in front of her soul, so she found a reason and asked Daiyu to rest in a quiet room, while asking for her health and caring.

Since Daiyu knew that Wang Xifeng was coming, she felt a little nervous, and whenever she saw Wang Xifeng, she couldn't help feeling anxious.

Just seeing Wang Xifeng treat her with a happy face as always, she felt relieved.While shallowly responding to Wang Xifeng's concern, at the same time, she kept cheering herself up in her heart: since she behaves like this, she should not be too petty, making her look down upon her.

And the others, whether it was Ping'er and the others beside Wang Xifeng, or Zijuan and the others beside Daiyu, when they saw the two meeting, they all chose to leave by coincidence, leaving a private communication space for the two masters.

So, in the quiet room, soon there were only Wang Xifeng and Daiyu left.Sitting on the kang, the two of them gradually stopped talking.

Daiyu had never experienced such a thing before, when she looked up and saw Wang Xifeng looking at her with her red phoenix eyes, she was both shy and nervous.Taking a deep breath, he was about to stand up.

"Second sister-in-law Lian, why don't you drink tea..."

Daiyu wants to get up and serve tea to Wang Xifeng to ease the embarrassment.

Wang Xifeng didn't know what to do, grabbed her hand, let her continue to sit, and smiled at the same time: "You still call me sister-in-law?"

Daiyu's face turned red with embarrassment, her stubborn personality made her unwilling to cooperate with Wang Xifeng to change her words, but she just turned her head away and did not speak.

Such a shy and silent appearance, let alone a man, even Wang Xifeng felt envious when he saw it, so he couldn't help laughing again: "Look at this appearance, it can be seen that when you entered the mansion, what I said was true, really You are like a fairy in the sky, so it is no wonder that your second elder brother Lian has taken a fancy to you since he was a child, and is determined to marry you."

Daiyu was ashamed when she heard this, and then she couldn't help but wonder if Wang Xifeng meant to mock her.

But Wang Xifeng immediately said: "You don't need to be nervous about me, you have known me for so many years, although the servants in the mansion used to say how powerful I am, but you can be fair, in those years, I treated you and the sisters at home how?"

When Daiyu heard this, she hurriedly said: "Sister Feng has always treated us very well. At home, besides the old lady, Sister Feng treated me the best. I always remember her kindness."

Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up, "Good sister, if you can call me sister, I will be satisfied.

You don't know, because of the matter between you and your second brother Lian, the old lady in the family and your second brother Lian took turns to suppress and admonish me, as if they were afraid that I would bully you after you entered the door.

But they didn't even think about it, how could I be such an ignorant person?

If someone else wants to enter my door, for the sake of the quietness of the family and the reputation of your second elder brother Lian, I will take a good look at it. How can anyone just come in?

But who is the younger sister?Speaking of which, my sister is far above me in terms of family background, knowledge and appearance.

Your willingness to marry your second elder brother Lian is a blessing that I and your second elder brother Lian have cultivated over several lifetimes. Is there any reason for me to be unhappy?

The only thing I feel is that I have wronged you too much.

So, you really don't need to restrain yourself in front of me.I remember, you used to be very eloquent and unreasonable in front of me, hehehe, so, what you did in front of me before, should be the same now?

When you pass through the door in the future, you and I should be called sisters.If you respect me, then call me elder sister. If you despise my vulgarity and ignore me, I won't blame you.

In short, I must treat you as my own sister.To say something that cannot be said to others, your Lian's second elder brother is more capable of doing things outside now, his horizons are wider than before, he knows more people, and naturally he has more confidante.

They are men, they can't stand the temptation the most.If it's just an ordinary search for flowers and willows, that's fine, I'm afraid that if I make a mistake for a while, I will offend people who shouldn't be offended, and my future will be delayed at that time.

My sister is a very smart person, so she can understand me naturally.

It's a pity that I am a person who has no success, and your second elder brother Lian is not willing to listen to my advice.You are the only one who is knowledgeable and good-looking, and your Lian's second elder brother loves you so much, if you try to persuade him, he will definitely listen to your advice.

Good girl, you may understand my painstaking efforts? "

Wang Xifeng's words came from the bottom of her heart with both emotion and emotion, which even moved Daiyu a little.

Although Daiyu is young, she is very talented. Although she is not very sympathetic to some of Wang Xifeng's words, she can tell that Wang Xifeng wants to make friends with her, and she is even a little cautious in her words, and even becomes a flattery. meaning.

Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief.

What she was most worried about before was that Wang Xifeng frowned at her coldly, so she really didn't know what to do.

After all, she has also stayed in Rongguo Mansion for many years, and knows that Wang Xifeng has always been nicknamed the vinegar vat.

Now whether Wang Xifeng said so sincerely or pretended to appease her, at least the two of them would not be too awkward when they got along.

Anyway, she was willing to marry Jia Lian, all because of the personal sake of Lian's second brother, and had nothing to do with anything else.

She never thought that after marrying Jia Lian, she would go to curry favor with Wang Xifeng, let alone be equal to Wang Xifeng.

Her idea was that if Wang Xifeng treated her well after entering the door in the future, she would treat her well.If Wang Xifeng doesn't like her, then she just doesn't have any contact with her.

If Wang Xifeng wants to bully her, she is not afraid.She gave Jia Lian her heart and believed that Jia Lian would protect her.If Jia Lian couldn't protect her, or changed her mind and didn't want to protect her, she would go with her parents at worst, and let Lian's second brother regret it alone.

Of course, this was just Daiyu's worst plan, she believed in Jia Lian, otherwise, she would not have wronged herself so far.

And she also believed that Jia Lian could control Wang Xifeng. This point was proved by the fact that Wang Xifeng didn't take anything seriously now and only dared to talk to her so carefully.

Therefore, Daiyu thought about it and felt that she should not leave everything to Jia Lian alone, although she was used to being cared for by Jia Lian.If Wang Xifeng can treat her seriously, she is also happy to have a good relationship with Wang Xifeng.

In this way, the second elder brother Lian will not worry a lot...

So he took a deep breath, stood up and said to Wang Xifeng with a blushing face, "Sister Feng's words are too embarrassing, I, I am not as good as you said.

Moreover, everyone knows that the second brother Lian cares most about Sister Feng. For Sister Feng, the second brother Lian even refused the Queen Mother's offer of marriage, which shows how sincerely the second brother Lian treats Sister Feng. "

Although it was a random remark, Daiyu couldn't help but feel a little sad when she said it.

After all, Lian's second brother and Feng's sister are the married couple...

Finally, she had thought about this issue many times in her heart, and since Daiyu didn't want to show timidity in front of Wang Xifeng, she quickly made a decision.

"Sister Feng, don't worry, let's not talk about those years, the benefit of Sister Feng's treatment of me is that in the future, when I enter the door of my sister's house, I will naturally serve my sister first. I only hope that my sister will take pity on me and treat me as she did back then, sister." Here, kowtow to my sister..."

Daiyu is a very emotional person, because of emotion, behavior will follow.

She despised the etiquette of these monarchs, ministers, wives, wives and concubines. After all, living in this world, she was somewhat affected.

Anyway, she was already ready to bow down to Wang Xifeng.Now that Wang Xifeng is able to achieve such a posture, why can't she let go of Lin Daiyu?

A stubborn voice in her heart told her that she only kneeled down today to show her posture.If Wang Xifeng accepts her, that's all. If Wang Xifeng can't accept her sincerely, and there will be conflicts in the future, it can't be considered that she disrespects the royal family and makes trouble unreasonably.

What's more, I didn't do this to please Sister Feng. Everything was just for the second elder brother Lian. He was so kind to me, and I just repayed one of them.

Although the construction in her heart was enough to support her this prostration, when her knees really bent down, her tears still flowed down her eyes like a waterfall.

Wang Xifeng was delighted when Daiyu said that Jia Lian cared about her the most, and also used last year's incident as an argument.

That incident is also something she can remember and be proud of for a lifetime.Every time she thinks of it, she can smile, let alone hear it from Daiyu.

Suddenly Daiyu changed the subject and wanted to kowtow to her.Although the concubine knelt down for the grandma in the main room, it was nothing at all, but Wang Xifeng knew how much Jia Lian, Jia Mu and others loved and cared for Daiyu.

She didn't want these two to think that Daiyu would bully her before she entered the house!

It happened that her hands had been firmly holding Daiyu's little hand, and at this moment she lifted it up, pulled Daiyu into her arms, and said with a smile: "You're well said, why are you so interested in this all of a sudden?
Didn't I say, I sincerely treat you as my younger sister, how can I make you kneel to me?

Moreover, your second elder brother Lian told me that in the future, you will not enter the door in an ordinary concubine, but follow the example of ancient times, and marry a concubine with a big gift. In terms of status, you are no worse than me, and you don't have to kneel to me .

Or, you know that the old lady and your second brother Lian love you dearly, so you do this on purpose, so that the old lady and your second brother Lian will teach me a lesson after they find out? "

As Wang Xifeng said, he deliberately stared at Daiyu in his arms with playful eyes.

Daiyu's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she quickly shook her head: "No, no, I just... Sister Feng treats me sincerely, and I treat Sister Feng sincerely, so please don't worry, Sister Feng. In the future, I will definitely treat you well." Those who serve you..."

After all, Daiyu was still too young. Although she had her own plans in her heart, her means of expressing herself were far inferior to Wang Xifeng's, and she was subdued within a few strokes.

Wang Xifeng started laughing, took out her handkerchief, wiped away Daiyu's tears, and sighed: "Don't say that, I'm so happy to have a girl like you. Look at this poor thing." Look, don’t cry, or I’ll jump into the Yellow River when your second elder brother Lian sees you, and I won’t be able to clean myself up.”

Daiyu was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do.One was because of Wang Xifeng's words, and the other was because she was held tightly in Wang Xifeng's arms.

Wang Xifeng is the same age as Jia Lian, only a month younger.Therefore, staying in Wang Xifeng's warm and mature arms, after the initial embarrassment, there was an unspeakable satisfaction and peace of mind.

She suddenly thought that when her mother was still there, she often hugged her like this.

It has been many years, and I have not felt such an embrace.

Just thinking about it, Daiyu gave up the idea of ​​breaking free, thinking, if Sister Feng could really treat her like Lian's second brother and treat her sincerely like this, it would be good...

Just as the elder sister and the younger sister were testing each other and confessing their hearts to each other, Jia Lian strolled in.

Seeing Daiyu, who was wearing filial piety clothes and filial belts, looked more and more petite and lovely, being comforted by Wang Xifeng's arms, Jia Lian frowned, a little surprised.

"Yes, what I told you is not bad. I have only been with you for a while, and someone came here in a hurry. They must be afraid that I will bully and offend you."

Seeing Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng smiled and hugged Daiyu tightly on purpose.She even caressed Daiyu's shoulders and small face with her hands, as if she wanted to see if Jia Lian would be jealous.

Daiyu was already very ashamed by Wang Xifeng's words, and she couldn't bear Wang Xifeng's caresses similar to Jia's mother, so she hurriedly broke away from Wang Xifeng's embrace, went to the side, and poured Jia Lian a cup of tea.

After Jia Lian sat down, he took away Wang Xifeng's teacup and poured another one over.

Jia Lian sat on the chair next to him, took a sip of Daiyu's tea, and then said with a smile, "I heard that you came here and helped me arrange and take care of the internal affairs. Thank you for your hard work."

"Hey, don't say that, I'm just making a fuss, thank God if you don't say I'm causing you trouble.

Besides, even if I have some credit, I didn't do it because of your skills, but because of sister Lin's skills, so I made the move.

Why, Sister Lin hasn't entered the house yet, you treat this place as your home, and don't be afraid to spread it. People will misunderstand you and say that you marry our Sister Lin. industry-like. "

Wang Xifeng knew Jia Lian quite well, judging by the admiration in his eyes, he also knew that it was not for her to help, but because of her closeness to Daiyu!
Feeling annoyed, he intentionally joked about this somewhat sensitive matter face to face, and at the same time looked at Daiyu's expression.

Jia Lian was a little upset.

This outspoken bitch, sometimes, just makes people want to spank her ass.

Fortunately, Daiyu is a pure person who only cares about the inner intuitive feeling, not the external things.

Otherwise, if it were any other woman, she might be suspicious when she heard Sister Feng's words.

I can't let Sister Feng stir up the relationship between him and Daiyu, so she snorted and said, "Let's not say that uncle is an elder, and he has been kind to support and take care of me for so many years. So in my heart, I have long regarded uncle as an elder. Close relatives and elders.

He has no children, and he treats me like his own son, so I should be the one to see him die.

As for the Lin family property, my uncle made a will long before his death, and divided the property of the Lin family in detail. I will naturally undertake it according to his old man's will. There is no such thing as coveting.

It's just you, a prodigal woman who has always been in the eyes of money, and you always think about others with a villain's heart. "

As Jia Lian spoke, he waved to Daiyu, as if he wanted to show concern for her.

After hearing Jia Lian's words, Wang Xifeng was very angry. Jia Lian argued as long as he argued. Why did he want to attack personally?
Seeing that Daiyu turned a blind eye to Jia Lian's waving, she was very happy, and after glancing at Jia Lian twice, she laughed "puchi".

Naturally, Daiyu was in front of Wang Xifeng, so it was inconvenient for her to get close to Jia Lian.Moreover, she still remembered that Jia Lian lied to her by giving her something and kissed her little hand.

So these days, everyone is a little defensive.

As for what Wang Xifeng said about Jia Lian coveting her Lin family's property, Daiyu didn't take it to heart at all.

Not to mention that she didn't think Jia Lian would covet her Lin family's property. After all, Jia Lian's ability to earn money made even the old lady and aunt envy them.

Besides, she doesn't care about the Lin family's business.These matters were arranged by my father. Since he entrusted Lian's second brother to take full control of it, it was naturally Lian's second brother's business and had nothing to do with her.

On the contrary, she heard that Jia Lian's teasing of Wang Xifeng was interesting, and seeing that Wang Xifeng was not only not angry, but smiled so heartily, she also smiled for no reason.

Perhaps, her choice was really right.Lian's second elder brother and Lian's second sister-in-law are very good people. It must be very interesting to live with them.
