Winning every step of the Red Mansion

173

Mrs. Wang took the invitation card from the Li family to inquire about Jia Mu's intentions, but she did not expect that Jia Mu readily agreed and agreed, and even asked herself to prepare the birthday gift, and especially told her not to neglect her family because her family affairs were not as prominent as those in the house.

Mrs. Wang was secretly angry, why would she get an unsatisfactory result every time she went to Jia Mu's place?It’s the same for changing houses, waiting for elections in Yuanchun, and now even a small birthday party that wants to evade an unknown official’s family, but it can’t go as planned. What went wrong?

After blaming Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang complained about Jia Zheng again.I don't know if this Jia Zheng is really stupid or fake, his own Pearl is outstanding, so why worry about not being able to marry a good woman!The Li family is very clingy, and it's fine to hold a birthday banquet in a decent manner, why bother to send someone to invite them.When I don't know, the patriarch and daughter are at Cardamom, so if I invite myself to go this time, I just want the two parties to have a meeting first.

Mrs. Wang was filled with resentment, so Shi Feier pretended not to see it.Anyway, I have a good or bad impression of Li Wan, so there is no need to stop this matter.I also don't believe that Li Wan will be a widow after marriage, after all, it is very different from before, and I don't believe that Jia Zhu will die young.What's more, this is just a first meeting, and I don't know what will happen in the future.

The two had their own thoughts, and Mrs. Wang returned to the courtyard with anger.Another servant girl came to report that Yuanchun had sent someone to fetch some things for expenses, and she would go to the palace with Princess Fangxian in a few days.After hearing this, Mrs. Wang was a little overjoyed, and hurriedly made preparations.

Shi Fei'er also got the letter, and sighed secretly for a while, this person is not as good as God, after a toss around, he entered the palace again, although it was different from before, it still made him feel a little frustrated, but remembering that Yuanchun had changed The verdict made me feel a little more at ease.He also ordered people to clean it up, and prepared gold and silver zizi to be sent to Yuanchun for use.Now, for Shi Feier, he doesn't lack money for anything, and he can spend the money however he wants.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day to congratulate the old lady of the Li family on her birthday.Compared with Mrs. Wang's reluctance, Shi Fei'er was in high spirits. When the party of carriages and horses arrived at Li's residence, the old lady of the Li family actually greeted her personally.

Compared with Jia's family, Li's family is inferior in everything, and Mrs. Wang naturally looks down on her.Shi Fei'er felt a little strange looking at it, after all, he had visited the palace of the prince and the marquis a lot, and it was rare for him to see such a family.The decoration inside the house is delicate and elegant. From the master to the servants, there are less rules, but they are quite polite.Because all the mothers of Jia came here, the Li's mansion treated the guests even more attentively.

It was still early in the banquet, so the old lady of the Li family invited everyone to go to her garden first.Naturally, Shi Fei'er went happily, and Mrs. Wang was obliged to accompany Jia's mother when she agreed.A group of people went to the garden, but saw that there were already people in the garden.Seeing the old lady bringing all the distinguished guests to enjoy the flowers, a young girl immediately stood up and saluted everyone.

The old lady of the Li family beckoned, and the girl ran over with a smile and took the old lady's arm.The old lady of the Li family loved her very much, and said to everyone with a smile: "My granddaughter is the most sensible and dexterous among the grandchildren. Call me Li Wan, Wan'er, come and meet all the distinguished guests." The girl hurriedly approached Salute one by one.

When Shi Feier heard that this was Li Wan, he naturally looked him up and down.Naturally, she is a beauty, with bright eyes and rosy cheeks, which is very pleasing.Shi Fei'er looked at and thought of the description of the widowed Li Wan, who looked like a haggard tree, guarding Jia Zhu every day without rouge, lifeless description, and his heart shuddered.It's really pitiful for such a lively person to lose all the vitality of life because of the loss of a husband. I think of Shi Nai's widow, and she has only one daughter. I'm afraid life will be more difficult.

Shi Fei'er asked someone to present a meeting gift, and asked a few more casual questions. Li Wan's answers were top notch, and she praised her again.Mrs. Wang watched and praised a few words, which made Mrs. Li even happier.

Needless to say about the congratulations on the birthday banquet, after the birthday banquet, we arranged to listen to the opera.The old lady of the Li family asked Jia's mother to order first, but Jia's mother declined, and after the birthday star ordered it, she casually pointed out something wrong.Shi Fei'er didn't like to go to theaters, but she didn't want to show it in other people's homes, so she sat patiently for a while, and then got up and walked around with the excuse of cleaning her hands.Naturally, the Li family would not be negligent, and arranged for a servant girl to follow and serve her.

On the way home, Shi Fei'er didn't want to go back early, so naturally she walked more slowly.Passing by the garden, I saw that the chrysanthemums were beautiful, so I said I would go to look at them for a while.Where did the servant girl dare to say no, she naturally went with Xiaoxin.

The garden here is quite deserted, and most of the people went to listen to the opera.Shi Feier saw a lady and a little girl not far away admiring the flowers.I can't blame Shi Fei'er for paying attention, that little girl was born beautiful, although she hasn't opened her eyes because of her young age, she will definitely be a beauty when she grows up.Not only is it beautiful and picturesque, but it also makes people happy when they raise their hands and smile.

Shi Fei'er turned her head and asked the following maid: "Whose girl is this, she was born really well! Why didn't I see you just now?"

The servant girl glanced at her and said: "As for the old lady, this little girl is Lord Qin's eldest daughter. Since our two families are close to each other, we have a very harmonious relationship. Today, she also came to celebrate her birthday with her mother."

"Master Qin? I don't know which Master Qin is so blessed to have a daughter with such a symbol? It makes people happy just by looking at it."

"It's Mr. Qin Ye, Ying Shulang." The servant girl replied.

It turned out to be him!Shi Feier was secretly taken aback.I can't blame this little girl for being so well-born, it turned out to be Qin Keqing who is good at style in the red building, has a moony appearance, is graceful and delicate, and acts gentle and peaceful!

Shi Fei'er originally thought that seeing Li Wan today would be a worthwhile trip, but who would have thought that she would meet Qin Keqing by chance today?I made it today.Just thinking that the little girl turned her head and saw Mother Jia, she pulled her mother's hand and came towards this side.Seeing Mother Jia, before the maidservant could speak, she bowed first and said, "Greetings to Mrs. Shi."

At this time, the women on the side also hurriedly saluted Jia Mu.Shi Fei'er looked at her and felt that the woman was mediocre in appearance, with a mediocre demeanor, but she was compared by this little girl.The two are not alike in appearance, nor in their demeanor.I can't complain that the book says that Qin Keqing is a child raised by the Yangshengtang.As for whether it was really adopted by the Yangsheng Tang, Shi Feier is not easy to draw a conclusion, anyway, there are many debates in later generations.But I see that if I can adopt a daughter who is so mature and upright, I am indeed blessed.

Shi Feier looked at Huanxi, and vaguely felt that she had seen this girl somewhere before, but she couldn't remember it for a while, so she asked a few more questions, and Qin Keqing answered them one by one.

Shi Fei'er thought it was a pity that such a good girl would suffer like that in the future, but Qin Keqing would marry into the Ningguo Mansion in the future, if she could keep an eye on her in the Rongguo Mansion, she would be beyond her reach there.I couldn't help feeling in my heart, hey, all these good girls were eaten by pigs!

Because Jia's mother had been away for a long time, the old lady of the Li family naturally sent someone to look for her again. Seeing people gossiping in the garden, she invited them back to listen to the opera.Shi Feier then went back.

She had no intention of listening to the show, Shi Fei'er was thinking about meeting Li Wan and Qin Keqing today.This Li Wan married Jia Zhu, if Jia Zhu hadn't died early, the two of them would have been pretty good.Although the book doesn't say how the two are, but the few words revealed feel that the relationship between the two should be good.Besides, Jia Zhu should be able to take care of it now, and she probably won't see it as it is in the book.

But Qin Keqing and Jia Rong seem to have a strange marriage.As for what happened between Qi and Jia Zhen in the book, it is even more surprising.Shi Feier was thinking wildly, but suddenly remembered something.I can't blame myself for feeling familiar when I saw him. This Qin Keqing looks so much like Qin Keren who took me to the illusionary world at that time, and even the name sounds like it!Qin Keren has helped her several times. Even for her sake this time, Shi Feier is determined not to let her fall into the vortex of Ningguo Mansion.

After much deliberation, Shi Feier came up with an idea.Smiling, he said to the old lady of the Li family: "It is worthwhile to come to the house today. The granddaughter of the old lady is well disciplined, and I am happy to see her. Even the neighbors have borrowed your blessing, and their daughter is well-groomed. It’s also a joy to watch.”

Because the Qin family's mother and daughter came back with Jia's mother, the old lady of the Li family had seen it a long time ago, and said with a smile: "The old lady is too absurd. How can I be so blessed as an old woman. But speaking of it, the Qin family The girl is indeed a good girl, with a well-behaved temperament. Although the family background is a little low, the Qin family has a good family style. Don't say that you like the old lady, and I like it too. I don't know which family will be a good fortune in the future. !"

Shi Fei'er listened and smiled: "Old lady, what you said is very true! I can't let others take the lead in such a good fortune. I will meet you today if you have a destiny. Why don't you simply recognize a god-in-law? It's not in vain. That's enough. Old lady, don't fight with me."

Hearing what Jia Mu said, the old lady of the Li family was also very happy. She really didn't expect Jia Mu to have such a temperament, but she was happy, but said: "Oh, I didn't expect it. It's a pity, it's a pity. But if It is also a blessing for that girl to be recognized as a god-in-law by the old matriarch." After saying that, she asked the maid to invite the mother and daughter of the Qin family over.The wife of the Qin family was overjoyed when she heard Jia Mu's words that she wanted to recognize her god-in-law.

Mrs. Wang watched from the sidelines and felt that Mother Jia was too casual, why did Duanduan think of a godmother after strolling around the garden?When I saw Qin Keqing, I felt that this girl was born really well, and she was very sweet-talking, but it was a pity that she was too young, so I can't blame the old lady for wanting to find a godmother.It's a pity to think about my two sons, whether they are older or younger.Mrs. Wang herself wanted to please Mother Jia, so she hurriedly said: "It would be a little inappropriate for the old lady to recognize a granddaughter directly. Today I see that this child is also a good match, why don't the old lady let me, I will recognize her Be a daughter, in this way, the old lady will have an extra granddaughter!"
