Scroll of One's Own Words: The Tiger Lying on the Barren Hill, Chapter 6, The Beauty Sleeps in Sprin
"Wan Jun, Sister Bao is a person who understands etiquette and values righteousness. Although it seems that her family is an imperial businessman, which does not seem to be so nice, her ancestors are Ziweishe people, and they can be considered to be from an official family, but they did not fall behind in the previous generation. In this generation, his brother is not very effective, so he relies on her and her mother to support the situation..."
Shen Yixiu naturally also inquired about this woman who would become his sister-in-law in the future. She was only three years younger than him, and she was already over seventeen. Logically speaking, this age was indeed the age to get married, but this woman had a calm and generous personality. He is highly praised by the people around him. Even a girl like Qingwen, whose temperament is obviously not the same as Xue Baochai's, would say that Xue Baochai is quite elegant and elegant.
"My husband said this, I naturally know my identity, so talking to the Xue family sister is quite congenial." Shen Yixiu nodded slightly.
"What about Wan Jun's opinion of Sister Lin?" Feng Ziying tilted her head slightly, then helped Shen Yixiu up with her hands, placed the cushion beside her behind Shen Yixiu, and tucked the brocade quilt up, He really wanted to know what Shen Yixiu thought of Lin Daiyu.
"I know that my husband will definitely compare the Lin family sister with the Xue family sister. Well, to be honest, the Lin family sister may be more impatient and sensitive. In other words, if you put it in other words that are not so pleasant, it may be harsh. I'm a bit mean, but I think Sister Lin is a sweetheart. Well, not to mention my husband, Sister Lin and Qingwen are really similar in every aspect. They are both outspoken and can't rub the dirt in their eyes. Their temperament is a bit unreasonable but also sharp-tongued..."
Shen Yixiu had a sweet smile on his face and was also teasing her husband.
I have to say that Shen Yixiu's analysis and judgment are quite accurate.
Lin Daiyu lost her mother when she was young and lived with others, so she has a delicate and sensitive personality. She cannot tolerate any slighting. Similarly, Qingwen was bought into the house. She has no heels, and her background is not as good as that of Yuanyang. She is not like Jin Chuaner, who has children from such families. Xiren sold his body and came in? But he still had family members outside the house? But he was extremely handsome, so being placed in the Baoyu House was a bit ostracized, and he was also mixed with inferiority and pride.
The similar situations of these two women give them similar personality traits, but the kindness in their hearts and the arrogance in their appearance form a great contrast, which is the so-called cold-faced and warm-hearted.
Who would have thought that Shen Yixiu would be able to sense this after just a few contacts with Daiyu? This woman's intuition is really attentive to every detail.
"Is what Wan Jun said true? I admire you." Feng Ziying nodded in agreement, "Although Sister Lin and Sister Bao have very different personalities, their human natures are the same. They are both pure and kind-hearted. Maybe Sister Lin is more sensitive? Sister Bao More tolerant? But if Wan Jun can get along well with them and be a good sister, my husband will feel more at ease."
"Could it be that my husband is not at ease with me and is worried that I will bully Sister Xue and Sister Lin?" Shen Yixiu's smile became more and more obvious, "Is my husband so unbearable in his mind?"
"No? No, Wan Jun misunderstood. What my husband means is that since Wan Jun is the elder sister, not only should you deal with the relationship between you and the two sisters, but also let Sister Lin, Sister Xue, and several other sisters also handle the relationship well. We can get along harmoniously." Feng Ziying considered her words, "In the future, my husband may have to work outside for a long time. My mother and aunt are getting older and their energy will become less and less. Wan Jun will need to shoulder more important responsibilities."
Shen Yixiu was slightly surprised, "My husband, you mean that sister Lin and sister Xue are not on good terms? But I think they have a good relationship. It's just that although sister Xue doesn't speak much, she always makes sense and can always talk about the key points. Sister Lin didn't have any objections."
Feng Ziying was suffocated. To be honest, even he himself was unsure about this topic.
The relationship between Daiyu and Baochai in "A Dream of Red Mansions" has also gone through several stages, sometimes good and sometimes bad, but that is because there is some complicated relationship between the good relationship between gold and jade and the romance between wood and stone, which is constantly being cut and confused, but Now that this problem no longer exists, it is hard to say in which direction the relationship between the two women will develop.
But it is obvious that Daiyu, Tanchun and Xiangyun have a closer relationship, while Baochai seems to be showing signs of being isolated. This can be seen from the two times he saw several people playing cards. Daiyu, Tanchun and Xiangyun were talking and talking, but Baochai basically couldn't get a word in, or maybe Baochai deliberately didn't interrupt.
But based on Feng Ziying's understanding of Baochai, if she wanted to avoid this situation, she would have taken some measures. However, she calmly maintained restraint, which shows that she also intended to withhold concessions.
Feng Ziying didn't think this was Daiyu's initiative. It seemed more like Xiangyun and Tanchun were cheering for Daiyu, or Xiangyun and Tanchun had sensed the signs, so they struck preemptively. Started to put pressure on Baochai?
But does this make sense?
Or are you doing it for yourself?
"Wan Jun, my husband cannot answer this question." Feng Ziying smiled bitterly and shook her head, "The relationship between Sister Lin and Sister Bao still needs to be observed by you. As a husband, it is often difficult to observe this relationship. The one who came up with the correct answer is very sure about this, so I am the only one who has worked hard, Wan Jun."
Shen Yixiu laughed, feeling very amused by her husband's naive answer. Or was this a disguised form of begging for mercy from her husband?
*******
The half-truth and half-false exchange with Shen Yixiu finally made Feng Ziying breathe a sigh of relief. News also came from King Zhongshun. He believed that Emperor Yonglong would give a result soon. But before that, Feng Ziying knew that there was another hurdle. To cross.
How to make Lin Daiyu accept that Xue Baochai will become her sister-in-law, this problem cannot be avoided.
It is a good thing from all aspects for the second wife to be restored to the title of the second wife. Daiyu will naturally not have any objections. Even if she is a little sour in her heart, she must show enough joy and grandeur on the surface. But who should be chosen as the second wife? As his legitimate wife, this is something worth considering.
Even though Shen Yixiu and Lin Daiyu can't comment, they must at least give them an explanation. This is a kind of respect. Shen Yixiu is better here. After all, she doesn't know who she chooses, so it doesn't make sense. But This is very important for Daiyu, especially Baochai.
So on the way to Jia's house, Feng Ziying had been thinking about how to make Daiyu accept the result calmly and even with satisfaction.
I really can't afford to delay it. The official document from the Ministry of Civil Affairs regarding the formal appointment of the official after the end of the Jinshi period in Yonglong's fifth year will be released soon. It is appropriate to release myself from the capital and get some compensatory restoration. By the way, He was neither soft nor hard and castrated some of the thoughts of the Supreme Emperor.
Feng Ziying's understanding is castration. It is not stated directly, but it reflects the attitude of Emperor Yonglong and the court. However, in order to avoid being too rigid, it seems to have given the Supreme Emperor some respect and left a little tail. Well, so, The meaning behind this can only be understood slowly and carefully by the parties concerned.
Entering the Jia Mansion was already a familiar process for Feng Ziying, and she no longer even needed to pass the news. She could just say hello to the concierge and then enter the Mansion directly, almost like a Jia Mansion resident.
However, as soon as she entered the door, she met this girl Siqi. She was overjoyed when she saw Feng Ziying come in, and she came over to talk without thinking.
Feng Ziying couldn't avoid it, so she could only greet him aside and said a few words. She didn't dare to give a clear answer to Si Qi's question about whether he wanted to go to Zhujin Tower. The matter today was of great importance and he had to make a decision. Once it's taken care of, it'll be fine.
Siqi left reluctantly, and Feng Ziying took Baoxiang all the way around the alley and to the gate of the Grand View Garden behind.
This is almost the backyard. Except for Baoyu, the rest are girls. Even Jia Zheng is thinking about letting Baoyu move out. After all, the girls are older. Fortunately, there is a corner of Yihong Courtyard, and Baoyu is now there. I gradually understand the rules and don't often go to the sisters in the courtyard.
The gatekeeper of the Grand View Garden is also very familiar with Feng Ziying, so there is no problem in entering and exiting. However, Baoxiang can only play at the door. Now, except for Baoyu and Feng Ziying, even Baoyu's servants are not allowed to enter the garden. You can only stay in the outer courtyard.
The Xiaoxiang Pavilion in March still presents a beautiful scene of swaying and whirling waves. Even from afar, Feng Ziying can feel the freshness coming from the Qinfang River, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
In fact, the rockery can be opened from the winding path leading to the secluded place, and it can lead directly to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. However, the designer obviously understands the principle of twists and turns. The Taihu stone in this rockery is winding and winding, and then seals the path. It spirals out from the other end and leads to Qinfang Pavilion. From Qinfang Pavilion, you cross the stream, then walk ten feet across the Cuiyan Bridge and return, then you arrive at Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
When I walked to the door, I didn't see Zicuckoo, but I saw another little maid, Xue Yan, kicking the shuttlecock at the door. When I saw Feng Ziying coming, I hurriedly wanted to go in and report, but Feng Ziying called me to stop her.
"Is Sister Lin here?"
"The girl is here, but sister Zijuan is not here." Xue Yan is a little girl under thirteen years old. When she followed Daiyu, she was only six or seven years old. She was innocent and innocent. She didn't know many things before, but as she got older, naturally, That’s it.
"Oh, where did Zicuckoo go?" Feng Ziying asked curiously.
"Sister Zijuan went to Luxueguang and said that Miss Xing made a rosette for the girl, specially used to hold the withered petals. The girl has been looking forward to it for a long time, and Miss Xing also spent a lot of effort to make it." Xue said.
Yan pursed his lips and smiled.
"Well, then I'll go in and see Sister Lin." Feng Ziying waved her hand and went straight in.
Xue Yan was stunned and didn't know if she should follow him in. She was getting older and naturally understood some rules. Uncle Feng was going to marry a girl, so when entering the house at this time, maybe the girl should avoid it?
Feng Ziying didn't think too much. At this time, the sun was shining outside, making her feel warm, but Daiyu was hiding in the house. It was a pity.
Lifting her feet to enter the door and opening the silk curtain, Feng Ziying saw a beautiful woman's fist held in the hand of the beauty, but it was tilted on a rattan leisure chair. The sunlight transmitted through the window pane fell on the gauze covering Daiyu.
On the quilt, the halo of yellow light contrasted with the pink quilt surface, but compared with the jade that looked like a beautiful flower shining in the water, it immediately lost its luster.
