Chapter 1555 Xin Zijuan’s family is short-lived, but he only knows his hands.
"Don't you believe it?" Jin Chuan'er thought Feng Ziying didn't believe it, and said quickly: "Even the gardeners in the house said that their craftsmanship is no worse than that of serious craftsmen, and they work hard and don't talk too much. What's the matter? She is willing to help anyone, and she is willing to do any dirty and tiring work. Qingwen is also very thoughtful, and even the wife said that this person is very smart and intends to stay in the house to use her."
Even my mother is so optimistic about it? Feng Ziying really didn't have much to do with the affairs of the house. He was too busy with external affairs, so he didn't have the energy to ask about these things. He didn't expect to hear these stories from sisters Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er accidentally.
“Qingwen is a hard-working person. I didn’t expect her parents to be so agile, but it’s just like her parents.” Feng Ziying responded with a smile.
"Master, it's different. Sister Qingwen is hard-working but has a bad mouth. Although she talks a lot, she is very popular. She is very popular in the house. Even the wife and aunt can come and go at will. Yes, she came to my yard a few times to help my sister clean it up, but my sister remembered what I said and didn’t let her in."
Yu Chuan'er's words made Feng Ziying's heart move slightly, "Do they often go to the eldest and second bedrooms?"
"I don't go there much, mainly here. After all, they live here, and the other wives and aunts are also here. These two couples are very thoughtful. They know who is most in charge of things in our house. If they want to If you stay in the house, who should you please?" Jin Chuan'er chuckled: "She has much better eyesight than Qingwen."
Are you laughing at Qingwen's low emotional intelligence? Feng Ziying also laughed, but Qingwen's emotional intelligence was low enough, and even she knew it, but she was stubborn and refused to admit it.
Feng Ziying was a little surprised because she didn’t go to the second room of her long house very often.
The second room is fine, but the eldest room is where their daughter lives. The fate of their daughter in the future will depend on Shen Yixiu, the mistress. Although my aunt is the highest-status in the house, I and the others cannot do this for Qingwen. If a girl goes to tell her eldest daughter-in-law what to say, the person they want to please should be Shen Yixiu. Don't such a shrewd couple understand this truth?
Shaked his head, he didn't understand what the two couples were thinking for a while, but he was still very happy that Qingwen's father and mother were so sensible and adapted to the life in the house so quickly.
“What about the second sister, the third sister’s mother, and Xiangling’s mother?” Feng Ziying naturally would not favor one over the other.
"Mother You is still like that. She is in good health and loves to go out. She goes out to Ningguo Mansion every now and then for a walk or goes out on the street. However, the two aunts also control her very closely. They come back on time every day, and they also take care of her every day. The two aunts were washing close-fitting clothes, but they liked to nag, saying that the two aunts had no stomach movements, which annoyed the third aunt, and she and Mrs. You got into trouble that day."
Jinchuan'er didn't expect that Feng Ziying would like to hear about the family's filial piety so much. Seeing that he was interested, she told him in detail.
"Oh?" Feng Ziying is indeed somewhat interested. There are not many descriptions of the lives of supporting characters like these in "A Dream of Red Mansions". Most of them can only be interpreted by themselves. Now that I have such an opportunity to understand, I still find it quite interesting, " Can Third Sister still have trouble with Mrs. You?"
"Third Yiniang is straightforward, but she couldn't stand You Lao Niang nagging her every day, so she naturally got annoyed and started arguing after a few words. However, Third Yin Niang and You Lao Niang quarreled, but it didn't affect anything else." Jin Chuan Er smiled and said: "Mother You probably also knows the temperament of Third Yiniang. She is so naughty and tough, and Third Yinniang can't do anything about it."
“Well, where is Xiangling’s mother?” Feng Ziying asked again.
"Aunt Zhen has a kind and quiet temperament. She doesn't go out much. She usually stays in the mansion. When she has time, she goes to Yunchuan uncle's mansion. Xiangling also comes here often. The two of them are very close now. Maybe Aunt Zhen thinks that I owe Xiangling a little,..." Jin Chuan'er hesitated for a moment, and then said: "After Qingwen's father and mother came in, Aunt Zhen was a little sentimental. Maybe she felt that Master Zhen was missing and only knew that he had gone to become a monk, but now Xiangwen Lingdu has been found and life is going well now, so Aunt Zhen is thinking about it again, hoping to get Mr. Zhen back."
Feng Ziying couldn't help but frown.
He still has some impressions of Zhen Shiyin. The book "A Dream of Red Mansions" says that after listening to "The Good Song", he became enlightened and followed the lame Taoist who sang "The Good Song". But Feng Ziying did not believe this statement. .
Although the song "Hao Ge" has a profound meaning, how can an ordinary person achieve a complete enlightenment by listening to a little song that has the flavor of an epiphany? This world is still dominated by mortals, and there are not so many spiritual beings to fully realize.
The reason why Zhen Shiyin became "fully enlightened" was because his state of mind was stimulated. His only daughter was abducted by a kidnapper, and his family home was burned to the ground. He lived in his father-in-law's house but was looked down upon. The contrast between the first half of his life and the second half was too great to accept, so he suddenly thought about it. It's just a Buddhist retreat. If you really have any hope of living a life of family reunion, how can you go to a Buddhist retreat?
If Zhen Shiyin could be found and informed of his current situation, Feng Ziying would probably be able to persuade him to come back, but where could he find him?
"What did Xiangling say?" It's just that Qingwen's parents were found by him. Now if Xiangling's father ignored him, it would be unfair. After all, Xiangling was also the first woman to be with him, and his innocence was also given to him. She and her mother have been found, and they sent Buddha to the West. Couldn't this father help find them?
"Xiang Ling didn't say much. She just said that she was afraid that it would be difficult to find her. But facing the mother's request, Xiang Ling definitely couldn't refuse. It is estimated that Xiang Ling didn't have many opportunities to be alone with me during this period, so she didn't Have you mentioned it before?" Jin Chuan'er glanced sideways at Feng Ziying.
There are many women around the uncle. Now he has two wives. He must take turns sleeping between the two rooms. The eldest room has Grandma Shen and the two aunts You. Xiangling, Jin Chuan'er was a little curious because both Qingwen and Ying'er seemed to be virgins, and they didn't seem to have been taken in yet.
This also shows that before the uncle has a male heir, several mistresses in the mansion will not give up this opportunity easily. Even girls like Yunshang and Xiangling who have been taken away from their houses rarely have a turn to sleep with them. .
“That’s it,...” Feng Ziying frowned.
When Zhen Shiyin took refuge with his father-in-law Feng Su in Huzhou, he sold off his property and gave the money to Feng Su to help him buy land and a house. Who would have thought that Feng Su would embezzle even the last property of his son-in-law, and he would pass it off and finally fall into the hands of Zhen Shiyin. With only the shabby house in Botian left, and Feng Su Chengri's glare, Zhen Shiyin finally ran away with the lame Taoist.
The last place Zhen Shiyin left was in Huzhou, but it is not known which Taoist temple the lame Taoist spent his time in.
There are so many Taoist temples in the world, and most of the famous ones are in the south of the Yangtze River, such as Longhu Mountain, Maoshan, and Gezao Mountain. But judging from Feng Ziying, a character like the lame Taoist who travels around selling chicken soup for the soul to cheat people out of food and drink. , it cannot be such a large Taoist temple, it is probably some unknown small Taoist temple, which is difficult to check.
Of course, there is a Taoist Records Department in the imperial court. All serious Taoist temples have lists, and Taoists also have ultimatums and lists in every prefecture. But this lame Taoist has no name, so where can he find it?
“Sir, it’s hard to find it?” Jin Chuan’er has a good relationship with Xiang Ling, and she still cares about Xiang Ling.
"Well, it's definitely not easy to find out. Unlike Xiangling's mother, there is always a lead and where to go. I followed the lead to find it, and finally found it. But her father left with the unknown Taoist and there was no news after that. There are so many Taoist temples in the world. , the Taoist doesn’t have a name, I guess Xiangling’s father is really going to become a monk, and he definitely won’t use a lay name, how can I find it?”
Feng Ziying told the truth.
Jin Chuan'er was a little disappointed, holding her sweat towel and lowering her head: "I'm afraid Xiang Ling and Aunt Zhen will..."
"But it's not hopeless. Firstly, that Taoist has some characteristics. Secondly, according to government laws, lay people who become monks need to register with the government and put down their lay names. It's just that the scope is too broad. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. It's best to have A rough range, so we can check it out."
Feng Ziying’s words gave Jin Chuan’er a glimmer of hope, “What are you going to do?”
"Take your time. Since you are running away from Huzhou, you can only search in Huzhou and even the prefectures surrounding Huzhou. If you can't find it, go to the surrounding areas."
Feng Ziying also sighed secretly in her heart. This is the crime of sleeping with other people's daughters. It's not like in modern society. You can basically find it by searching in the computer file system. These days, you have to rely on your power or connections to help. .
After finally cleaning and wiping, Jin Chuan'er twisted around and walked away, leaving only Yu Chuan'er, still chattering beside Feng Ziying: "Sister Qingwen's father and mother are really strong and strong. I saw that the wall fell that day." When the tile came down, it was about to fall on his head, but in the blink of an eye, it was already in his hand. When others asked him, he said that he only had familiarity with his hands..."
Only if you are familiar with it? Feng Ziying was shocked. He hadn't paid much attention to what Jin Chuan'er said about Qingwen's father and mother before, but now Yu Chuan'er's casual words suddenly made him a little wary. After working as a mason for a long time, his hands and feet are indeed very nimble. , but is this also the case when he casually catches a fallen tile on the wall?
Are there any others?
Perhaps you are too sensitive?
Feng Ziying never believed in coincidences, but Qingwen’s father and mother sent a special letter to Yizhou to help find it. It’s not like the Yizhou government still deceived her about such things, right? What's the purpose?
