As far as Sister Feng is concerned, in terms of status, she is already a first-class marquise, ranking among the first-class ladies in the world.
In terms of wealth, there are more than 100,000 yuan in silver at home, antiques, treasures, brocades and other belongings piled up like mountains, and there are ten boxes of gold pressed deep under the bed.
It can be said that she has almost achieved both fame and fortune, and has even exceeded her own expectations. These were all brought to her by Jia Lian, so even putting aside her feelings, she was very grateful and admired Jia Lian.
Up to now, what she cares about most are two points. One is that Jia Lian's official career is prosperous and he is invincible, and the other is that he will give birth to an heir for Jia Lian as soon as possible and inherit the family business.
In comparison, Jia Lian was more carefree and found a few beauties outside to enjoy himself. These trivial matters were insignificant.
The reason why I care more about Daiyu is that Daiyu's identity and Jia Lian's love for her may threaten her status.
Now Jia Lian said that she must give birth to a son within two years. Although the words did not sound good, the meaning was very important to her.
In two years, Daiyu has not yet reached the period of filial piety, so she must have not started. If she can give birth to a son during this time, he will be the eldest son, so her status will be stable.
Although she knew that with Daiyu's body, it would be difficult for her to give birth to a son in the future. Even if she gave birth to a son, one would have to be given to the Lin family.
But Jia Lian can say this, which shows that in his heart, he really has no intention of letting anyone replace her. This is more important than anything else. So I put aside all the unpleasantness caused by hearing Jia Lian put Daiyu next to her today.
"Second Grandma, the old lady is hosting a banquet over there. Madam, please come over as soon as possible."
Hearing the announcement from outside, Sister Feng responded, pushed away Jia Lian's hands, stood up, and called Ping'er into the inner room to change clothes with her.
Xiangling and Qingwen came in to serve. Xiangling, as always, took away Jia Lian's tea cups and trays obediently. Qingwen, on the other hand, leaned over the kang and asked Jia Lian with a smile: "Is the second master still going out? Do you need to change clothes? Change clothes." If you want to wear any outfit, I will go get it for you."
Jia Lian had too many noble, official and ordinary clothes. Sister Feng had already cleared out a large section of the east inner room and placed more than ten hangers specifically to display Jia Lian's clothes.
Jia Lian was thinking about something, but was interrupted by Qingwen.
Looking down at this maid, she has a nimble figure, thin shoulders and waist, rosy and delicate complexion, extremely beautiful facial features, and her eyebrows are similar to those of Daiyu. She is a very lovable girl.
At this time, her peach-shaped face was full of expressions of gratitude. How could Jia Lian not know that she was showing off intentionally, hoping to be punished lightly or not be punished?
So he chuckled lightly, held her shoulder with his left hand, and laid her down on his legs.
"There is no one else now, Xiaonizi, do you accept the punishment?"
Seeing Jia Lian suddenly attack Qingwen, Xiangling was a little confused about what happened, but of course Qingwen knew.
On the way just now, Jia Lian had said that he would deal with her when he got back, but she knew that Jia Lian was not really angry with her, so she was not afraid.
She also roughly guessed how Jia Lian would deal with her.
Anyway, there are only a few ways that the second master can punish them. In the current posture, she is probably going to spank her. Compared with other embarrassing methods, this one is relatively light.
Therefore, she was definitely not afraid. She even felt that even Sister Feng had always been spanked by Jia Lian when she did something wrong in the past, but now she was treated "equally" and she felt inexplicably honored.
But she thought so in her heart, and she definitely couldn't behave like this. She still groaned and screamed as soon as she was restrained by Jia Lian, and explained to herself that it was just the reasons mentioned before.
"How dare you quibble!"
Jia Lian seemed to be angry. He was leaning on the kang and sat up straight. He continued to suppress Qingwen with his right hand to prevent her from moving. He lifted up her skirt twice with his left and right hands. Then he said to Xiangling: "Take off her pants. Today I have to give her some color to show her, so that she can no longer be arrogant and arrogant."
Xiangling's face turned red when she heard Jia Lian's explanation. Qingwen, who was lying on her stomach, was stunned for a moment, then started struggling violently and yelled no.
Even Sister Feng, who was changing clothes inside, heard this commotion. She turned around and glanced through the gauze cabinet, her mouth twitching.
She was not surprised by this situation. With Qingwen's restless little hooves, she would always make some mistakes every now and then and be punished by Jia Lian.
But that kind of lesson, haha, it’s okay not to mention it.
Don't think about it today, but it seems like you want to see something real.
Sensing Sister Feng's doubts, Ping'er, who tied the ribbon for her, whispered what happened in the afternoon.
"So that's it. I said, why is your second master so willing to deal with her? It turns out that he offended another of his treasures. This little hoof deserves it. From now on, she should also know that there are people in this world that she can't afford to offend. ”
A look of ridicule naturally appeared on Sister Feng's face. She looked in the mirror and walked out after realizing there was nothing wrong.
Seeing Jia Lian's hands rise and fall, she wanted to make fun of him, but when she looked closely, she blushed, and then glared at Jia Lian in a very unhappy way.
No wonder Sheng'er sounded different from when she was beaten. It turned out that she had taken off her pants.
Seeing Qingwen's hoarse but completely ineffective resistance, Sister Feng felt a little happy in her heart, but at the same time she couldn't help but be on high alert.
There are more and more ways to humiliate people without conscience! If one day she fell into his hands and was treated like this...if no one saw her, but if there was someone, even Ping'er and a few maids, would she still be alive? !
If she wanted to be cruel, she wouldn't let him treat her like this even if she died, but deep down she knew that with Jia Lian's strength, she really had no choice but to do this to her.
It seems that the best way is not to commit any crime and fall into his hands, never!
Sister Feng still believes that Jia Lian is a reasonable person. As long as she doesn't make mistakes, Jia Lian will not punish her for no reason.
Who would have thought that a small impromptu move by Jia Lian would inadvertently form a huge deterrent to Sister Feng, so that she would act very cautiously for a long time in the future, not daring to put any blame on Jia Lian. in hand.
Although there was fear in her heart, as the head of the house, if her man "flirted" with the little girl in front of her, she would not be able to live with it if she pretended not to see it.
Therefore, he sneered at Jia Lian and said: "I advise you, Mr. Hou, not to go too far. There are many gentlemen outside. You'd better go out and help me see and see off the guests. Don't look at others." , and have a reputation of being rude."
After saying that, he glanced at Qingwen's white ass again, lowered his head in shame, and quietly waved to Ping'er and left.
As soon as Sister Feng left, Qingwen couldn't bear it anymore. She struggled desperately, lifted her pants, and then stood three steps away, staring at Jia Lian and her accomplice Xiang Ling.
Xiangling shrugged and smiled apologetically at Qingwen, her eyes seeming to say: Sister Qingwen, don't blame me, it's all what the second master calls her...
Jia Lian also became calm after having enough hand addiction. When he saw that she still dared to blow her beard and glared, he immediately frowned and said: "Why, are you still not convinced? It seems that you still haven't realized your mistake. , you still need me to remind you."
Jia Lian frowned, but Qingwen still felt embarrassed.
As for the mistake, although I don't think she made a big mistake, after all, she was not targeting Daiyu, she just didn't want "second masters" like Xue Yan to bother her and cling to Jia Lian.
But she was still glad that Ping'er came back in time today.
It was only later that she found out that there was such a big commotion in Daiyu's house. She thought that if it weren't for Ping'er, it would be because of her that the second master couldn't know the news in time, and something happened to Daiyu again. Whatever happened, she would be miserable.
This is why, after learning that Daiyu was actually engaged to Jia Lian, she couldn't help but run over to see what was going on.
But the second master just punished him. He also took off his pants and spanked his butt...
Forget about spanking her buttocks, it's not impossible in private. Why should she make a fool of herself like this in front of Xiangling, Sister Feng and others? How can she still hang out in this courtyard in the future?
How did Qingwen know that Jia Lian did this on purpose? Fighting in private, what's the difference between that and flirting? Naturally, it's hard to stop next time.
Qingwen was really angry, but she really didn't dare to go up to Jia Lian at this time, so she spat on the ground, flicked her skirt and went out, not remembering her responsibilities.
Such a coquettish and arrogant behavior made Jia Lian narrow his eyes and felt that the punishment was not enough.
"Second Master, don't be angry. Let me change your clothes."
Xiangling's face was still a little red, but her voice was soft and her expression was well-behaved. Compared with Qingwen, she is as different as clouds and mud.
He also recalled some of the new tricks he tried under the coercion of Beauty Qin, and his heart was filled with ripples. He said that if time did not allow, he would definitely have a good kiss with this sweet girl again.
…
Jia Mu's birthday banquet is over and all the guests have dispersed.
Youshi and Qin Keqing also took the car back to their home after helping Sister Feng and others to make arrangements.
Because the wheels of You's carriage were temporarily broken, she rode with Qin Keqing.
In the carriage filled with the fragrance of women, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't help but talk about Daiyu's affairs and exchange the news they had gathered today.
"You have always been good friends with Feng Yatou. Did she really know about such a big thing and tolerate it?"
Based on Youshi's understanding of Sister Feng, she felt that this was too contrary to common sense. After all, it is understood that the Lin family of Jia Lian not only required Jia Lian to give Daiyu the title of concubine, but also required him to marry her with the three letters and six rites and the rites of a married couple.
How can she hold back someone who wants to be strong like Sister Feng?
Qin Keqing looked at her mother-in-law and suddenly asked, "My mother-in-law thinks that if you were the second aunt, you would be as capable as the second uncle. You would be caring, handsome, and in the face of power, you would still firmly defend yourself, and you would never leave your husband." , will my mother-in-law make trouble with my second uncle?"
Youshi was stunned and suddenly realized that she still looked at Jia Lian and Sister Feng with the same eyes as before.
Think about last year, for Sister Feng, Jia Lian not only rejected the eldest princess, disobeyed the Queen Mother, but was even dismissed by the emperor...
】
Under such circumstances, Jia Lian withstood the pressure and kept caring for Sister Feng. With such a comparison, it is not surprising that Sister Feng could tolerate a sick Daiyu.
As for replacing her with Sister Feng? Not to mention changing, as it is now, she is willing to do anything for him if she can get some favors from Jia Lian occasionally. How can she have such luck and qualifications to be Jia Lian's wife.
It wasn't enough for Qin Keqing to wake up Youshi with just one sentence, so he continued: "Besides, my mother-in-law doesn't know that my second uncle is the best at coaxing people.
Although I don’t know what method he used to coax the second aunt into good health, I do know that the second aunt not only did not get into trouble with the second uncle because of this incident, but the relationship between the two of them was very good, better than anything before. All times are good.
The second uncle loves the second aunt, and the second aunt admires the second uncle. They play the piano and play in harmony, which is enviable. "
Qin Keqing said, with a very envious look in her eyes. This was not a disguise, she was really envious.
Then she felt a little proud in her heart. She felt that she was almost integrating into that family...
Youshi looked at Qin Keqing's longing face and suddenly asked: "By the way, what did you do after you left the table for so long this afternoon?"
Qin Keqing came back to her senses and glanced at Youshi, "The osmanthus flowers in the newly built garden of my second aunt were blooming just right. She asked me to come over and have a look, so I stayed a little longer."
"Is it."
Youshi responded noncommittally, becoming even more suspicious.
It is true that Qin Keqing and Sister Feng are very close, and it is true that Sister Feng invites Qin Keqing to come and enjoy the flowers.
However, she saw Sister Feng in the back kitchen on the way, and when Jia Baoyu made trouble in Daiyu's house, Sister Feng also appeared very quickly.
At that time, there was no trace of Qin Keqing.
Therefore, Qin Keqing must be hiding some secret from her.
She had some guesses, but she thought it was unlikely. After all, Qin Keqing was indeed asked to leave by Sister Feng.
Is Qin Keqing so brave that he dares to steal Sister Feng's man right under her nose?
…
Late at night, Li Wan dragged his tired figure back home.
The first person in charge of Jia Mu's birthday banquet must be her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang.
As Mrs. Wang's daughter-in-law, Li Wan must do everything possible to be considerate.
After finally finishing what she was doing, she immediately rushed home after counting the time.
But it was still too late. As soon as he approached Sister Feng's nursery, he saw a slender and strong figure stepping in.
She paused for a moment.
Suyun next to her was as sharp-eyed as her, and she immediately asked: "Second Grandma, was that Second Master Lian just now? Second Master Lian is really too diligent. On a day like this, he is still practicing martial arts in the outer courtyard!"
As a maid in Li Wan's courtyard, Suyun was very familiar with Jia Lian's attire when practicing martial arts.
After all, Li Wan's Courtyard is located between Sister Feng's Children's Courtyard and Dongkua Courtyard, and they can often see Jia Lian returning home after practicing martial arts late at night.
Li Wan nodded without saying a word. He changed his eager pace and walked slowly home.
Suyun opened the topic and said with a smile: "Grandma, do you think Miss Lin will really marry Mr. Lian? In the past, we all thought that the old lady wanted to marry Miss Lin to Mr. Bao. After all, the old lady loves them both so much..."
After hearing this, Li Wan slowed down even more and asked, "What happened in Miss Lin's house today?"
When Jia Baoyu made trouble, she was taking care of the wives of various families on behalf of Mrs. Wang and others. She had no way to get away, so she was not allowed to see it with her own eyes.
But afterwards, I heard a lot about it.
As soon as Suyun heard that Li Wan was interested, she immediately started narrating endlessly, but she didn't expect that she herself was not present at the time, so she only listened to what the little sisters told her.
"I heard that Mr. Lian was so angry at that time that he almost beat Mr. Bao, which frightened both his wife and the old lady.
Later, the old man came in and Second Master Lian gave up. Then the old lady gave an order that Second Master Bao was not allowed to enter Miss Lin's yard again, so Second Master Lian stopped pursuing Second Master Bao.
Everyone said that this was the first time in the Jia family’s history in a hundred years that two brothers were fighting to marry a woman!
But yes, Miss Lin is so beautiful and fairy-like, no wonder she loves someone like Mr. Lian so much that even the old lady and his wife can't persuade her, and they won't give in to Mr. Bao. "
Suyun said with a very envious tone, as if she felt that it would be great if she were Daiyu.
When Li Wan heard this, he couldn't help but touch his face, but he quickly put it down for fear of being suspected by the maid.
When he returned home, he learned that Jia Lan had done his homework and fell asleep. Li Wan was relieved and went back to the house to let the maids fetch water to wash up.
Sitting on the couch to rest, she suddenly saw the dressing table in the room and couldn't help but sit on it.
Then I was shocked to realize that I hadn't sat here seriously for a long time. It's easy, just take a look in front of the dressing glass mirror after the maids wash up. Even if there is something wrong, she only needs to take a quick look and draw. She has almost forgotten the time she spent half the morning sitting in front of the makeup mirror when she was a girl.
Yes, what's the use of her makeup?
Not only was it useless, but in the eyes of my wife and others, it seemed frivolous and restless.
Therefore, she gradually refused to be with the makeup mirror.
Wiping the mirror with her sleeve, she looked down and saw that she was still familiar inside, but with a desolate expression and a tired face. The sudden sight made her heart tremble.
Once upon a time, the person in the mirror was also a pretty girl who loved to laugh and had lively eyes, just like Miss Lin.
I touched my face in the mirror. Sure enough, it was not as smooth as when I first touched it, and my skin tone was also worse...
Li Wan, who was panicking, suddenly felt that the person in the mirror looked terrible. A surge of anger surged from the bottom of her heart, and she almost couldn't help but sweep the mirror and the objects on the table to the ground.
After a long while, my mind calmed down, I opened my makeup bag, picked up my brush, and started to draw my eyebrows seriously according to my past memories.
