The next day, Jia Lian comforted Sister Feng, who was still unable to get up." I'll go. You can rest in the room."”
Sister Phoenix's face was flushed red. She covered her face with a handkerchief and spat,"You've caused my death. I still have to serve tea to my in-laws. What should I do now?”
Jia Lian laughed,"What's the big deal? I'll just go and tell them."”
He instructed Ping 'er and the others to serve him well, and then he left his small courtyard with his hands behind his back. He walked along the wide path from east to west, past the hall, and arrived at the old lady's backyard. Then he turned to the front and looked around. There were five rooms in front of him, all of which were carved beams and painted pillars. On both sides of the room were verandas with various parrots, thrushes, and other birds hanging on them. On Taiji, there were a few girls dressed in red and green. When they saw him, they teased him,""The groom is here!"
Another little girl in her teens opened the curtain cage and knew it was Jia Lian. She hurried over and whispered,"Second Master, Old Lady is not relaxed at this moment. You can't anger her."
This girl was wearing a half-new lotus-colored silk jacket, a green satin vest, and a water-green skirt. He had a slim waist and a thin back, an oval face, black hair, a tall nose, and a few small scars on his cheeks.
She was recently assigned to serve the old lady. Her name was Yuanyang. She was outstanding in appearance, cautious in her actions, gentle and reliable, and everything was to the old lady's liking. Therefore, she became a big servant girl at a young age, and the others fell behind.
This was a good girl! Jia Lian couldn't help but take a few more glances.
She led Jia Lian in. The old lady was wearing a sheepskin gown made of green creased silk and a bucket of pearls. She was sitting on the couch in front of her. On both sides of the old lady were four headless maidservants holding fly brooms, gargling bowls, and other items. There were also five or six old nannies with wild goose wings on both sides. The faint sound of conversation could be heard from behind the green gauze cupboard.
Jia Lian smiled and went forward." Grandson pays his respects to the old lady!”He bowed deeply.
Seeing that he was alone, the old lady said unhappily,"Why isn't your wife here? Did you hit him?"
Jia Lian was stunned for a long time before he quickly complained,"Who did Old Madam hear this nonsense from? How could I hit her? It's true that Feng 'er caught a cold last night and was not feeling well this morning. She asked me to tell the old lady.”
The old lady's cheeks relaxed just now. How could she not understand what had happened? "You monkey, you're so impolite!" he scolded with a smile. Later, I'll ask Yuanyang to send a few pills over so that Little Feng can take good care of her body.”
Then, he instructed,"Now that you're married, you have to have rules for everything. You can't mess around like you always do." I watched Little Feng grow up. She's eloquent and quick-witted. I'm worried that I'll humiliate her if she matches you. If you treat me badly, I won't let you off.”
He rambled on for a long time.
Jia Lian also listened obediently. Regardless of whether he listened or not, he just nodded.
"Old Madam, I'm late!" As she was speaking, Sister Feng's voice sounded from outside the curtain. When she came in, she had already changed into yesterday's attire. Her hair was tied up with a golden silk bun with eight treasures and a pearl hairpin with five phoenixes hanging from the sun. She had a golden bead on her forehead. She wore a cloud pattern carved with red gold on her neck. She wore an orange gold-embroidered phoenix shirt and a light pink shawl in her hand. She wore a banana yellow horse-faced skirt with orange-red embroidery covering her knees. She looked very beautiful and energetic.
She went up to the old lady and said her blessings.
"No need, no need," the old lady said with a smile. Come over quickly!"
Sister Phoenix sat beside the old lady as instructed.
Old Mrs. Han tugged at her." It's good that you're here. You're still chatting with me to relieve my boredom as usual." They are all useless."
"Old Lady, so you asked me to be your granddaughter-in-law just to relieve your boredom!" Sister Feng pretended to be surprised.”
Just this sentence alone made the old lady laugh out loud." Who asked you to be so sly? How can you make me happy? I've planned for a long time before choosing you!”
Sister Feng held the old lady's hand." Your plan is still good. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have known that I was tricked!”
"You're right!" The old lady nodded and smiled. I like lively places, but at home, your mother-in-law is always afraid of the old master. Your Second Mistress is extremely filial and manages all the matters in the family. She's pitiful and sick. She's becoming more and more reticent. She doesn't look good in front of her in-laws. Zhu 'er's daughter-in-law was an honest person from a small family. She only watched over Brother Lan for the rest of her life. Don't learn from them. They're as boring as wood! From now on, you'll be here with me, and we'll talk and laugh!”
"The old lady loves me dearly," said Sister Feng coquettishly. When I came, I was worried that I would get used to joking and making trouble. I was afraid that I would make you angry, so I decided to change and become a good wife who was careful with her words and actions. With your words, I can be considered to have a golden token. You can't say that I don't have rules and take the time to beat me up!”
The old lady was not annoyed at all. She smiled again."If you change it, I'll beat you up!”
Jia Lian sat on the chair beside her, quietly watching Sister Feng coax the old lady with just a few words. What a clever mouth.
Sister Phoenix raised her eyebrows and gave him a proud look.
Jia Lian nodded slightly, silently praising him for being so capable!
Sister Feng became even more pleased." Old Madam, you don't know, but Second Master Lian was going to teach his granddaughter-in-law a lesson last night!”
The veins on Jia Lian's forehead suddenly popped out. There were even sparks in his eyes. This woman wanted to go to heaven! However, he could not flare up at this time, so he could only stare at her seriously.
Sister Feng pretended to be very afraid and fell into the old lady's arms.
The old lady hugged her with heartache and glared at Jia Lian coldly." I just told you that I gave you a beauty like Little Feng. If you continue to steal, be careful that your father will skin you alive!"”
Jia Lian gritted his teeth and glanced at Sister Feng. He stood up and carefully replied,"Don't worry, Old Lady. I will definitely repent. From now on, as long as she obeys the three commandments and four virtues, strictly abide by the female precepts, internal training, the Analects of Confucius, and the record of female Fan Jie…"
Before Jia Lian could finish, the old lady spat on his face." I'll slap your mouth! You should memorize the Four Books and Five Classics first, then talk about the Four Books for Women in front of me! So what if your mother is obedient? If we let her be the housekeeper, I'm afraid that our entire family will only be able to drink soup and watch your father marry concubines one after another, drinking and having fun!”
Jia Lian was shocked by the old lady's resentment. How much did she dislike Jia She and Madam Xing! No wonder she had sent them to the East Road Courtyard early on and left the main hall to Madam Jia Zhengwang.
"Old Madam, how dare I go against your wishes? I'm afraid this will only make her more indulgent."
"Nonsense!" "Little Feng definitely won't," Old Lady said angrily. If she really did something wrong and bullied you, I will back you up!”
