Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 247 Mandarin Ducks Are Difficult [Part [-]]

"When you settle down, let's get together again."

The Xue family moved today, obviously there is still work to do.

The Feng residence is well prepared, and no help is needed.

Jia Lian smiled and declined Feng Yibo's invitation.

"Then go to my house in a few days, let us brothers have a good drink!"

Feng Yibo didn't force it either, he only got together after an appointment.

Afterwards, the three of them left and walked along the narrow road to Lixiangyuan.

As soon as he left Jia Lian's courtyard, Xue Pan winked at Xue Biao beside him and said:
"Brother Tad, why didn't you let me tell you?"

Feng Yibo was a little puzzled, not knowing what Xue Pan was talking about.

But Xue Biao obviously understood.

He frowned, but his face was slightly red, and said:
"Brother, don't spread the word about things that haven't been written yet, so as not to affect people's reputation."

Feng Yibo naturally heard that there was something to be said between these two.

But before he could ask anything, a figure flashed around the corner ahead.

There were outsiders present, and the three of them tacitly chose to shut up.

Did not continue the topic just now.

But they soon discovered that the person in front was a little weird.

From a distance, she was dressed as a maid, but she was standing in the middle of the road.

He remained motionless and seemed to be waiting for someone.

It can be seen that the three of them are coming, and they don't say to avoid it.

Feng Yibo was also a little puzzled, looking familiar from a distance.

When I got closer, I found that it was the parrot in Jiamu's house.

She was looking at Feng Yibo right now, her face full of confusion.

At this time, seeing the three of them approaching, he took the initiative to come forward to salute:
"I've seen a few uncles!"

The three of them nodded slightly and didn't care.

But Parrot didn't give way after seeing the salute.

Such an unruly behavior made the three of them frown slightly.

But after all, this is Jia Mansion.

They didn't say much, they just prepared to pass from the side.

Just as the two sides passed each other, Parrot seemed to have made up his mind suddenly, and said suddenly:
"and many more!"

She took a deep breath, and saluted Feng Yibo again:
"Uncle Feng, I don't know if I can take a step to speak. I have something to say to you."

Feng Yibo was even more puzzled, but he still nodded towards Xue Pan and Xue Biao.

The Xue family brothers looked at each other, then walked away knowingly.

Go to the other end of the lane and wait for him.

Now at the corner of the road, there are only two people left.

Feng Yibo kept a certain distance from Parrot, and then said:

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

Brother Parrot was no longer as entangled as before, and said directly:

"Uncle Feng, it's not that I have something to do, but that Sister Yuanyang has something to do."

"mandarin duck?"

Feng Yibo was taken aback.

Brother Parrot nodded, and then said with a sad face:
"She has a strong temper. If the uncle refuses to help, I'm afraid she will be upset."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Feng Yibo frowned slightly.

Wen Yan didn't follow her words to ask, but said dissatisfiedly:
"Miss Parrot, please tell me what's the matter directly, don't talk to me in this way."

He really hates this kind of flirting without talking about the matter, and first beating around the bush.

If you guessed right, the next sentence is likely to continue to sensationalize.

Then let him agree first and then go on.

Such cleverness made Feng Yibo a little disgusted.

He doesn't want to waste any more time.

If he didn't want to know about Yuanyang, he would probably turn around and leave after hearing such words.

Unfortunately, Parrot obviously didn't understand what he meant.

She was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and then said to herself:

"I know my uncle has a bad impression of me because of Miss Lin, but Yuanyang and you... aren't friends?"

Just talk about things, what kind of moral kidnapping?
"If you don't say anything else, I'll leave first."

Feng Yibo said something impatiently, and turned around to leave.

"and many more!"

Only then did Brother Ying understand Feng Yibo's meaning, and he didn't care about playing tricks at the moment, and hurriedly said:
"It's the elder who fell in love with Yuanyang and wanted to take her as a concubine, but Yuanyang refused to do so!"

"Now the eldest wife has asked her, but if she didn't respond, she went to her sister-in-law to persuade her. I think I will go to her mother-in-law soon!"

Seeing Feng Yibo stop, he turned around.

The parrot breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said:
"At that time, Yuanyang will have no room to refuse. With her temperament, I'm afraid she can only die!"

"Yuanyang and I grew up together, and I couldn't bear her fate, so I came here to ask Uncle Feng for help!"

Although Parrot is always cautious, but this time he really wants to help Yuanyang.

On the side of the Rong Mansion, they sent a dozen or so maidservants.

It started when we were in Jia Mu's house, and it was regarded as the acquaintance of the general manager.

These ten people have been together since childhood.

Say everything together and do everything together.

Now that they are all grown up, they each do their own thing.

But each other is different from others after all.

Among these people, only mandarin ducks and amber never changed.

Always in Jia Mu's house.

The others went to other master's houses one after another.

Cui Ling followed Shi Xiangyun.

Cui Mo followed Tan Chun.

Suyun followed Li Wan.

Caixia first stayed in Mrs. Wang's room, and then followed Aunt Zhao.

Sisters Jin Chuan and Yu Chuan followed Mrs. Wang.

Xiren, Sheyue, Qianxue and Keren followed Baoyu successively.

It's a pity that Keren died first, and Qianxue was kicked out again.

By the way, there is another Ping'er, although he is a dowry, but he is also on good terms with them.

Now she also goes with Lian's second grandmother.

The time Parrot was sent back from Daiyu, if it wasn't for the fact that these people had encouraged many people to intercede for her.

She might have been kicked out long ago.

Especially the mandarin ducks are very respectable to Jia Mu.

Now that mandarin ducks are in trouble, Parrot wants to reciprocate.

But what Yuanyang was facing was the elder of the Rong Mansion, the pure and honest master.

These servant girls are nothing but slaves.

Therefore, there is no way to call it a mandarin duck, but to bear it passively.

Parrot knows the nature of mandarin ducks.

If this continues, I'm afraid something will happen sooner or later.

Today she saw Baochai and Mother Xue go to the backyard to bid farewell, and heard that Feng Yibo had also come.

Immediately, he thought of the matter between him and Yuanyang.

Brother Ying immediately found someone to replace her, and walked around here waiting to ask Feng Yibo for help.

Feng Yibo was a little puzzled at this moment, and asked first:
"Don't you need to go through the old lady if you want a mandarin duck to be a concubine?"

Parrot sighed and said:

"Families like the Rong Mansion have always paid attention to making statements, and they are very good to the people below. As long as the old lady of the mandarin duck agrees, the old lady will not be able to stop her."

At that moment, Parrot gave a rough account of the whole story.

The reason for this is still because of silver.

Jia Shen eats, drinks and plays all day long, and is sensual and sensual.

I don't have a lot of money on hand.

Coupled with the fact that the income in the mansion is getting less and less, even the public school is almost bottoming out.

If it weren't for Jia Lian's income from the Four Seas Trading Company, he would still be able to give him some tribute from time to time.

Jia Amnesty had cut off the envoy long ago.

But recently, the sales of wood have decreased, and Jia Lian's filial piety has also decreased.

After much deliberation, Jia Amnesty came up with Jia Mu's idea.

There is no way, if there is any money in the Rong Mansion, then there must be.

Not to mention the dowry of each house, but the private property in the hands of Jia Mu is extremely prosperous!
Just some gold and silver utensils are enough for ordinary people to use for a lifetime.

What's more, there are antique ornaments, various treasures, farm shops and so on.

Just take out a little, enough for him to squander for a few months.

And it is Yuanyang, the eldest girl in her room, who is in charge of these things for Jia Mu.

Yuanyang is usually very careful, and only recognizes Jia Mu in her eyes.

No one can take it from her.

But as the saying goes: Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, but be afraid of thieves thinking about it.

Jia She thought for a long time, but an idea came to him.

That is to reach a consensus with Yuanyang in private, and let her help write something for use.

Give her a title in the future, so that she can gain both personal and financial benefits.

Jia Amnesty didn't have a city, and he didn't think about it in detail.

Immediately found Mrs. Xing.

He only said that he fell in love with a mandarin duck, and let her talk about it first.

In fact, what Jia Amnesty meant was to let Mrs. Xing stand up.

When Yuanyang agrees, he further proposes to get some money to spend.

At that time, everyone is his.

Isn't it just what you want?
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xing was stupid by nature, and Jia She didn't say it clearly.

And on weekdays, he often took concubines into his room.

Therefore, Mrs. Xing only thought that he had fallen in love with a mandarin duck.

Now that the eldest family has no daughter-in-law Xifeng, she doesn't even have a discussion.

At the moment, I can only come forward in person and talk directly to Yuanyang.

Mrs. Xing went to Jiamu's place first, and chatted with Jiamu for a while.

Then he came out and pretended to go to Mrs. Wang's room.

She went out through the back door and was passing by Yuanyang's bedroom.

It was warm and the windows were open.

Yuanyang sat there doing needlework, and raised her head when she heard the movement.

Seeing that it was Mrs. Xing, she hurriedly stood up to greet her.

Mrs. Xing took the opportunity to enter the room and said with a smile:
"What are you doing? Let me see."

While speaking, he took over the needle and thread in his hand.

"This needlework is also good."

After a glance, he put down the needle and thread.

Then he looked at the mandarin ducks all over his body.

Yuanyang was inexplicably sized up by her, so she asked with a smile:

"Ma'am, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Xing winked when she heard this.

The servants who followed all retreated.

Then, she stepped forward and took Yuanyang's hand, and said with a smile:
"I'm here to congratulate you."

After Yuanyang heard this, she had some vague guesses in her heart.

But I just thought it was to help Jia Lian make a deal.

Immediately blushing, bowed his head without saying a word.

When she is old, if she is assigned to Jia Lian, she will not be buried.

Unexpectedly, only Mrs. Xing said:

"You know that there is no reliable person in front of your master, and you want to buy another one in your heart, but you are afraid that those people's teeth are not clean, and you don't know what's wrong, so you buy it for three days or two days, and you have to fuck again. Ghost hanging monkey."

After all, Mrs. Xing is also from a serious background, so what she said is appropriate.

But Yuanyang was shocked when he heard this!
Originally, she thought it was for Jia Lian.

After all, Wang Xifeng and Heping'er were gone, and his room was always empty.

If you want to help your son choose a reliable roommate, it is also a kind mother and a filial son.

But listen now, why isn't that the case?

The dignified wife of the main house, came to pick a wife for this old Jia She?

"Because the mansion has to pick a daughter who was born in the family, and there is no one who is good. Either she looks bad, or she has a bad temper. If you have this advantage, you will lose that advantage."

Seeing that Yuanyang bowed her head and said nothing, Mrs. Xing kept saying flattering words.

"So I chose coldly for half a year. Among these girls, you are the only one who is sharp, looks, behaves, is gentle and reliable, and everything is complete! The master wants to ask the old lady to ask you to go and keep you in the house. .”

Mrs. Xing finally spoke clearly, and the mandarin ducks were like falling into an ice cave.

Jia Amnesty's reputation is only slightly stronger than Ning's, and he is not young.

How can she obey?
But after all, I am just a maid, what else can I do?
"You can't compare to a new one bought outside. As soon as you enter, you will open the door and seal your aunt. You are decent and noble. You are a strong person. As the saying goes, 'Gold is eventually exchanged for gold' , who would have thought that the master valued you."

Seeing that the mandarin ducks did not look up, Mrs. Xing started painting cakes again.

"Now that you've done this, you've fulfilled Su Ji's great wish, and you've also blocked the mouths of those who hate you."

Speaking of competition, Mrs. Xing felt that the heat was about the same, she immediately took Yuanyang's hand and said:

"Come on, follow me back to the old lady!"

Yuanyang was already blushing at this time, but she was not shy.

But angry!

She pursed her lips, trying to pull her hand back.

Mrs. Xing thought she was ashamed, and said:

"Oh, what's there to be ashamed of? You don't need to talk, just follow me."

The mandarin ducks lowered their heads and did not move.

Mrs. Xing felt strange when she saw her like this, and frowned again:

"Don't you want to?"

After thinking about it, he patiently persuaded:

"If you really don't want to, you are really a silly girl. Let the master and grandma not do it, but you are willing to be a girl! Three years and two years, but with a boy, you are still a slave."

Mrs. Xing first understands it with reason, and then moves it with emotion, saying:

"You followed us. You know that I have a good temper, and I am not the one who tolerates others. The master treats you well. After a year or so, give birth to a boy and a half girl, and you will be side by side with me."

"At that time, who do you want to order in the family, and who will not move? If you don't do it now, if you miss this opportunity, it will be too late to regret it."

Yuanyang was still speechless.

Even though he lowered his head, he remained silent.

Mrs. Xing felt that she had said all she had to say, and she became a little impatient, saying:

"You are such a loud person, why are you so clingy? If there is anything you don't like, just tell me, and I will let you do what you want."

Yuanyang was angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to vent at all.

As Mrs. Xing said, she is just a slave.

It's useless to say anything at this time.

It's better to stand up first and think about how to deal with it later.

Madam Xing saw that the lure was unsuccessful, so she threatened:
"You must have an old lady. You don't want to talk, you are ashamed. You wait for them to ask you, which is also reasonable. Wait for me to ask them, ask them to ask you, just tell them if you have something to say."

After speaking, Mrs. Xing left with a sneer.

When Yuanyang heard about her old lady, she knew that this matter might be a big trouble.

If her parents have fate, she will eventually follow.

But she just doesn't want to!

After all, Yuanyang is a little girl after all.

I ran out of ideas for a while.

She was also afraid that Mrs. Xing would go find reinforcements, so she could only hide first.

When I went out, I found Amber first, and said:

"The old lady wanted to ask me, but she just said that I was sick, and I didn't have breakfast, so I just came for a stroll in the garden."

Amber had no doubt about him, so she nodded and agreed.

After Yuanyang finished speaking, she wandered aimlessly into the garden.

I don't want the parrot to listen to what she and Amber said just now.

Parrot felt something was wrong, so he followed.

Seeing her distraught appearance, Brother Parrot chased after her.

Yuanyang soon saw her and didn't speak.

The two sat under the tree in silence for a while.

In the end, Brother Parrot spoke a few words of concern, and Yuanyang told the whole story.

When it came to the end, it seemed that he had finally firmed up his mind, and said bitterly:

"Don't say that the Elder Master wants me to be his concubine, even if the Elder Wife is dead right now, and he will marry me to be the Elder Wife with three matchmakers, I can't go either."

Parrot wanted to explain a few words, but recalled the previous situation, so he smiled and said:

"Could it be that you want to marry Miss Xue as a dowry? It's a pity that it's too late, but Miss Lin is still there."

Just at this moment, someone behind the rocks laughed and said:

"What a shameless girl, you still have Miss Lin's idea?"

The two couldn't help being surprised when they heard this, and hurriedly got up to search behind the rocks.

It was none other than Xiren who came out with a smile and said:

"What's the matter? Why don't you ask me to talk about it together."
