Chapter 30 Chapter 28 Bringing Prostitutes to Dispel Woes

Seeing everyone's astonishment, Dr. Liang guessed that he didn't understand.Yin smiled and said, "The young lady has a happy pulse, it doesn't matter. Don't you think it's not happy?" It turned out that Jin Quan had four sons, but he didn't have a grandson yet. Mrs. Jin was looking forward to this day and night.During these times, seeing the Second Young Mistress often felt a little uncomfortable, and all my energy was focused on her, thinking that she was happy.Now the doctor said that the eldest and young mistress was happy, and this happiness was beyond her expectations.Then he said: "Doctor, is this true? Don't you feel uncomfortable?" Doctor Liang said with a smile: "Madam, as a doctor, I can't even tell whether someone is happy or not. What kind of doctor is this?" Mrs. Jin smiled and said: "Mr. Liang, don't be suspicious. I heard this because our youngest mistress didn't reveal any news. It's very strange to hear this. Then we have to prepare a midwife. Mr. Liang, you see Western midwives are better? Or Japanese midwives?" Dr. Liang said with a smile: "That's not too busy, it's only two or three months now." Mrs. Jin said: "That's all, our second young mistress is also often uncomfortable, I Please also ask Dr. Liang to take a look." After hearing Mrs. Jin's accent, Dr. Liang guessed half of it.He smiled and said, "It's good to have a look, and pay attention to things." After Mrs. Jin heard this, she assigned the old lady to invite the second young lady.The old lady went away for a while, came over and said with a smile: "The second young lady said that she is not sick, so she doesn't want to look at it." Mrs. Jin said: "Why didn't she come to look at it? It's you guys talking too much to let her know." That's why she didn't come." The old lady said: "We don't know if Second Young Mistress is sick, what are you talking about?" Dr. Liang said: "Don't look, it doesn't matter. I have a booklet with baby care instructions printed there. , there are all kinds of pregnancy protection methods in it. I can take a few copies and give it to some young ladies to have a look. If you follow the book, it will be better than asking a doctor to stay at home." Dr. Liang saw that there was nothing wrong , Carrying the purse and walking away.Here Mrs. Jin heard the news of having a grandson, and immediately took it as a problem, and discussed a few words with this one, and a few words with that one.But just as he was about to tell Feng Ju about it, Feng Ju preferred not to see him for a few days.

Feng Ju was at home, Pei Fang just quarreled with him, Feng Ju avoided it in a fit of anger.Peifang first said, if you don't come back, I hope you will never see me for the rest of your life.The first day passed, and the next day I didn't see Feng Ju coming back, so I was a little panicked.On the third day, he still didn't come back, so he called the ministry to inquire, and it happened to be Sunday again.On the fourth day, Peifang fell ill. After two days of illness, she still did not come back.At this time, Peifang was very anxious.But things have been like this, and he refuses to say that he will come back.If you want to say it, it is clear that she has softened and Feng Ju has become more and more successful, so she is still calm and expressionless.Later, Dr. Liang's pulse diagnosis came out, which was a joy.Because it has been more than a month, and I have always doubted whether there is happiness. Although I believe it half to eighty percent, I dare not tell Fengju.I'm afraid that once he said it, if it wasn't true, it would be so embarrassing.Now that Dr. Liang has confirmed this, the first thing is that my mother-in-law wants to let me be a little bit, and she will never make me angry.If Fengju is going to make trouble, she will definitely suppress her son and not her daughter-in-law.Even Feng Ju himself, after hearing the news, must be overjoyed, he must not dare to make people angry again, if he said, I'm sick because of this, won't he come back to see me?Thinking this way, Feng Juzhi didn't care if he came back or not.

Unexpectedly, Feng Ju was so determined that he would not go home, and even if he did, he would not enter his room.However, the yamen still went as usual. After leaving the yamen, it was unknown where the people went.The Jin family's house is very large, and it is common for Jin Quan and his wife not to see their son for a day or two, so they just don't ask.The old couple just asked, how did others know? Peifang slept for three days, thinking that waiting was not an option, so she straightened her hair, changed into a long coat, and went to her mother-in-law's room.Mrs. Jin put on big-rimmed glasses, took a copy of the "Diamond Sutra" annotated in large characters, and was reciting on the soft couch.Seeing Peifang coming in, she put down her book, took off her glasses, and said with a smile: "Peifang, are you okay? Just lie down in the room for a while. Don't walk around happily like usual." Peifang said: " Sitting in the house all the time makes you feel bored, so you have to come out and walk around." Mrs. Jin said, "Of course you have to exercise. But you just woke up after sleeping, so you should take a rest so that you don't get tired." Peifang laughed and said: "Sitting alone in the room for three or four days is boring enough. I want to find some people to play small cards." Mrs. Jin said: "Playing cards is even more inappropriate. Feng Ju Are you not at home?" Peifang said: "I haven't seen him for almost a week." Mrs. Jin said: "Really? He was still sitting in this room for a while yesterday afternoon." Peifang Said: "He came back home, but he didn't meet me." Mrs. Jin was silent for a while when she heard about it, and said, "This kid's temper is still the same. I will call his department later and ask him Look." Peifang said: "Let him go, if you ask him, you will make him even more angry." Mrs. Jin knew that Peifang was angry, but she didn't know how to answer, and said flatly: "I didn't see you young people Husband and wife, always enjoy fighting for some time." After saying this, another matter was involved.Mrs. Jin thought of Fengju coming back in the afternoon and asking him what happened behind Peifang's back.Unexpectedly, Feng Ju still didn't come back that afternoon, and when Mrs. Jin asked the footman, she said she didn't know.I went to ask the driver, and he said: "I take the uncle to the Ministry every day, and take the car when I come back. If I don't come back, I won't take the car, and I don't know where it is?" Mrs. Jin couldn't figure it out, so she kept asking more and more questions.This day passed, and the next day, Feng Ju came back.As soon as Mrs. Jin heard the news, she immediately sent for questioning.Mrs. Jin asked at the beginning: "Aren't you embarrassing me by doing this? Peifang was not feeling well just now, and you were angry with her at this moment. You have been arguing for a long time. I don't know at all. It seems that I am indulgent." How about you." Fengju smiled and said, "I'm not angry with her?" Mrs. Jin said, "Aren't you talking about making trouble? I haven't seen her for a whole week." Fengju said, "She When you see me, talk to me, I don't want to be bored, so I avoid her." Mrs. Jin said: "Where are you hiding?" Feng Ju said: "Where am I hiding? It's just the front room That's all." Mrs. Jin said: "Are you at home every day? Why don't I see you?" Fengju said: "I don't come back, how can you see me?" Mrs. Jin said: "I don't Talk to you a lot. From today, you have to go back to sleep in your own room. Running around like a child, it’s not going to be a big deal.” Feng Ju agreed in a daze, and walked away.

It turned out that during these times, Fengju, Liu Weiran, and Zhu Yishi formed a party and went to the brothel every night.Feng Ju was still very satisfied with Wan Xiang, whom she met in the North team that day, and she must go there every day, for three days in a row.It was also Wan Xiang who said something casually, asking when the uncle will praise us?Feng Ju smiled and said, "Any day is fine." Wan Xiang held Feng Ju's hand, seeing his face all the time, and said with a smile, "Any day is fine? How about tomorrow?" Feng Ju said: " Okay, tomorrow is tomorrow. You can prepare a little food, and I will invite some friends to have dinner here tomorrow." Wan Xiang said: "Really? You can't blame me." Feng Ju smiled and said: "We also know this It's been a long time, have I wronged you?" After hearing this, Aunt Li, the leader of Wanxiang's house, smiled happily.Said: "This is true, my lord is a very good man, he doesn't tell lies." On the next day, Feng Ju set up two tables of seventy-two taels of banquets in Wanxiang's room.After drinking, they played cards again and drew more than 300 yuan for the leader.Ever since they took part in this scene, the relationship between the two parties has become particularly strong.In the evening, Fengju went to sit at Wanxiang's place. Aunt Li also asked Fengju for a check for five hundred yuan, and asked Wanxiang to accompany Fengju to the Chinese and Foreign Hotel to watch the dance every night, so she didn't have to come back. .Feng Ju has such a happy place, it doesn't matter if he doesn't go home, so he has spent this past week like this.Although Mrs. Jin called him to say a few words that day, he was noncommittal in person.In the evening, he took Wanxiang to the Chinese and foreign restaurants together.

Seeing her mother-in-law's order, Peifang couldn't change her husband's attitude, so she had to let him go.In the evening, I took a book and read it while lying on the soft sofa. There was no one in the yard, and I read the book without forgetting it.Suddenly, through the window, Huichang called "Sister-in-law".Peifang said: "Please come in." Huichang smiled and said: "Why are you so polite? Do you still need to use the word please?" Then he walked in.Peifang said: "No, it's impolite to come and not to go. Since you are very polite, you called out first to test, can you come in? Then, I should make a request first." Huichang said: "It's not that I'm polite, I'm afraid that elder brother is in the room, so it's more convenient to call first." When he said that, he sat down next to Pei Fang, picked up the book Pei Fang was reading, and took a look.I saw the words Kuhai Cihang marked on the bookmark.He said with a smile: "The new novels are always full of words like the sea of ​​love and the sea of ​​desire. This book is probably about a man and a woman who fall in love, and finally, after going through various tortures, they suddenly come to their senses, right? "Peifang laughed and said: "You guessed that's not the case." Huichang said: "Why is it not? Doesn't it match the name of this novel?" Peifang said: "It's not a novel in the first place. Just take a look and you'll understand." Huichang heard that when he opened one page, he saw a full-body portrait of Avalokitesvara painted on the second page.Turning back, it is the "Taishang Induction Chapter" printed in large characters.Huichang smiled and said, "Cough! You are so boring, why do you read this kind of book?" Peifang said, "Don't say it's a boring book. If you read it carefully, you will definitely feel that it is such a good book. There are also a lot of famous sayings in it. After reading it, you will surely realize something and relieve a lot of troubles. Behind this is the "Surangama Sutra". The Tathagata and Venerable Ananda repeatedly debated and argued, saying that everything in the world is empty It's very interesting. I think it's really boring to compete with others." Huichang smiled and said: "People are like this. When they are angry, they have negative ideas, and when they are angry, they don't want to be negative." Peifang said: "You Otherwise, my mother is not angry, why has she read the "Diamond Sutra" thoroughly?" Huichang said: "Old people, rich and prosperous, have to be afraid of accidents. Secondly, I also hope Longevity. Neither of these two things can be done by humans, so we just need to recite the Buddha’s name and do the work of cultivation.” Peifang pointed at Huichang and smiled: “Stop saying this, and let people listen carefully. Tell mother, if you want to say that you criticize the old man who is a sycophant." Hui Chang said: "I won't talk nonsense with you, I'm here to discuss something with you, the day after tomorrow is Lao Qi's birthday, they will give gifts, you plan to give What is it?" Peifang said: "Yes, last year there was going to be trouble, but it didn't work out, it's time to have fun this year. He's going to go abroad next year, maybe when he'll come back, he won't be able to do it when he's twenty." Hui Chang said: "Everyone said the same thing. My father can't do it. He said that a person always has a birthday every year. What's there to celebrate? He hated people's birthdays all his life. A young person is even more unworthy of birthdays. How can he celebrate?" Peifang said: "Should we give Lao Qi a gift without telling my father? I have something that Lao Qi can use, and it won't shock people." Hui Chang said: "What is it? He needs it There are too many things." Peifang said: "Why, there is no such thing that he likes, I plan to give him a life money." Huichang smiled and said: "That can't be done. If he can forgive us, he can If you say that we are not generous and don’t understand us, you have to say that we laughed at him. Why don’t you give him something.” Peifang said: “In this case, I will give him a big dress for him to wear when he gets married. What about you? Huichang said: "No, you have to pick interesting ones, he is an interesting person." Peifang said: "Isn't the wedding dress interesting?" Huichang said: "He You don't have to be married, so you only wear a formal dress, so what's the fun? I have a way, rent a roll of movies, and show them at home." Peifang said: "No, no. Movies are shown in cinemas, and they have It looks good on the screen. The last time we screened a few times, we hung a piece of white cloth and reflected it on the white cloth, which reduced the excitement a lot. Why don't you ask Xiao Keban to perform a few plays." Hui Chang said: "No , as soon as the gongs and drums sound in the play, my father will know." Peifang smiled and said: "It doesn't work like this, and it doesn't work like that, then there is no fun, isn't it a vegetarian birthday?" Huichang said: "Why don't you ask him Let's go. Even if he himself wants us to give something, I will ask him, this is the best way. He is at home these days, so you can ask someone to ask him." Pei Fang laughed: "Privately ask He can do it." Then he paid Mama Jiang and called Yanxi over.

Across the room, Yanxi first said: "I'm at home, you have added another helper. Whenever there is a role, call me, and I can fill the vacancy at any time." When she walked in, she saw Peifang, Huichang leaned on the sofa chair to talk, only turned on the green-shaded electric light inserted obliquely on the wall, the room was quiet, and there seemed to be no movement.He smiled and said: "I thought the two sisters-in-law ordered me to play cards, but it's not true." Huichang said: "Sit down, let me ask you, honestly, what is it that you lack now? "Yanxi laughed and said: "Are you going to make fun of me again? Let me tell you the truth, I have lost a young lady." Peifang said: "I won't joke with you, but ask what applications you really lack Stuff?" Yanxi laughed and said, "Then there is a lot of lack. In a word, it is a lack of money. With money, everything will be easy to handle." After hearing this, Peifang looked at Huichang They closed their eyes and smiled at each other.Yanxi said: "How is it? Is what I said too indecent?" Huichang said: "It's not indecent. Let's take a guess first, and you will say that. Let me ask you, last time you Didn't the third sister-in-law lend you 300 yuan? What did you use it for? It's less than half a month away." Yanxi said: "My hole is too big, it can't be filled with 300 yuan Yes." Peifang said: "I didn't want to check your account, don't get me wrong. The reason we ask is because your birthday is coming, and we want to give you a birthday gift. I don't know which one is the most suitable for you? Please tell me yourself. Say. We decided to give gifts, so you don't have to be polite." Yanxi said: "The two sisters-in-law have already guessed, what else can I say?" Let others measure it. Why do you really want money when we guess you want money?" Yanxi laughed and said, "Who taught me to spend too much? Besides, the eldest sister-in-law is a mother, so it doesn't matter if you tell the truth in front of her sister-in-law. Lying doesn't seem like a good boy." Peifang laughed and said: "Look, when I said I would give money, even the eldest sister-in-law told me that she was a good boy, and she also said that she was a good boy. Second sister, I will give him a share. Let’s see. How much should we give him?” Huichang said with a smile, “A few cents is not good enough. Let’s give him one yuan each.” Yanxi smiled and said, “The elders give it to the younger ones, but the younger ones dare not. Resignation. No matter one yuan or ten cents, it is good, of course I will accept it." Huichang said: "This is a crowning statement, but don't you think too little in your heart?" Yanxi said: "I can't think too little. "Peifang said: "If you don't like too little, you don't think too little, if you don't think too little, you don't think too little, why add the word Neng?" Yanxi said: "I know, the two sisters-in-law are very generous, maybe take this opportunity, Give me three hundred and five hundred. Now it’s a joke to give that one dollar away. If I say it’s too little, you’ll be angry, and you won’t give me the whole batch. But one dollar can’t be considered too much. If you want me to say That heart-wrenching speech is not uncommon, and I feel sorry for the two sister-in-laws." Huichang said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, this child is really good at talking now, who did he learn from?" Peifang said: " Of course I learned it from sister Xiuzhu, she is a person who can talk." Yanxi said: "I asked what this means, and if you talk about me, you will implicate her?" Peifang laughed: "Because it is yours. She will implicate her. Second sister, what do you think? I think Lao Qi will listen to sister Xiuzhu very well in the future." Yanxi plugged her ears and eyes with two fingers, stood up and was about to leave.Peifang said: "Why are you running? You haven't finished talking yet." Yanxi said: "How can people bear what you said?" Peifang said: "If you don't say these words, you will be fine. If you want money, we will really give you money. How do you treat your guests?" Yanxi said: "Just treat everyone to a meal, how do you eat it? I can't say." Peifang said: "Don't bring any Is it something?" Yanxi said: "Yes, there is a way to play. Now there is a Nanyang Magic Troupe, there are a few female magicians who are pretty good-looking." Huichang said: "You still want to watch her magic tricks Or do you want to watch the magician?" Yanxi said: "I also watch magic, and so do the female magicians. On that day, I invite her to do a few tricks and have fun quietly for a while, making sure no one knows. "Peifang said: "I don't care if I don't like it, but this kind of woman is always a bit evil. You brothers, seeing a woman is like a fly seeing blood. Don't make trouble out of it." Yanxi laughed and said: " In this way, are our brothers still adults?" Huichang said: "If you want to find a magic troupe, go to the magic troupe. But I don't know what kind of guests you are inviting?" Yanxi said: "I don't think it is a treat, it is at home Everyone can eat and drink. If you invite guests, your parents will find out. I would rather have less fun than suffer a few more scoldings." Peifang said: "There is no stranger outside the family. Is it?" Yanxi said: "Maybe we have to invite some outsiders, so let them make a fuss in the living room outside." Huichang said: "Didn't anyone join our circle?" Yanxi said: "It's just a few classmates, and a few friends who often see each other, of course we can't invite them in." Because Huichang said this, he smiled with Peifang and stopped mentioning it.

On the next day, Huichang and Yufen also discussed.The three of them each wrote a check for 100 yuan, sealed it with a piece of coral paper and red paper, and put the check on it. Each of them personally wrote the word "Shou Jing" on it.Yufen's check was sent by Qiuxiang.Qiuxiang took it, thinking that Master Qi had treated us well, so we should give him some gifts.So instead of sending it off, he came to Minzhi, called A'nan to the corridor, and told her the story.A Nan laughed and said, "Don't make a fool of yourself, what can we afford to give away? If we take it away, Master Qi will laugh at us." Qiuxiang said, "It's not like that. Sending goose feathers from thousands of miles is more important than things." Reading in the room, seeing the two of them talking furtively, I became suspicious.Suddenly listening to the words that things are more important than people.I thought to myself, I don't know what these two little devils are doing?Then he lifted a corner of the screen window and looked out.I saw Qiuxiang holding a red paper sleeve in her hand, and said: "Our young lady asked me to give it to Qi Ye. I want to send it all the way after our gift is finished." Ah Nan said: "You Let's send it first. How can we make a complete gift in a short time?" Only then did Min Zhi realize that they were going to give Yanxi a birthday gift.He said: "Qiuxiang, bring it in and let me see. What kind of gift are they giving?" After hearing this, Qiuxiang brought it in.Min Zhi smiled and said: "Your young mistress, now you are just showing off that she is rich, borrowing is not counted, gifts are also cash." Qiu Xiang said: "It's not our young mistress who gave money, the eldest mistress and the second mistress also gave money." Min Zhi turned to Sha He shouted to the room inside: "Runzhi, did you hear? They all give money." Runzhi asked, "How much?" Min Zhi said, "The third sister-in-law is one hundred yuan, probably they are all It’s the same.” Run Zhi said: “They are all extremely delicate people, and they would not do this without Lao Qi’s consent. If they can send it, we can.” Min Zhi said: “It’s not necessary The question is whether you want to or not. I don’t want to raise a lot of money for him and let him waste it.” Runzhi said: “Didn’t he say he was in debt? Let’s raise some money and let him pay off the debt.” Min Zhidao: "So, we are one hundred yuan each?" Run Zhi said: "Of course it is the same as the three sisters-in-law." Min Zhi said with a smile: "This is really cheap for him. Did you hear that? Qiuxiang and Ah Nan also want it I thought about giving him a gift for a while, but I didn't come up with anything to give. I think they should just give money. Anyway, in their eyes, Qi Ye is equally equal. Lao Qi wants money like this, so it's okay to send it. I won't refuse." Qiuxiang laughed and said, "How dare we have that courage? Aren't we just looking for scolding?" Then Runzhi came out, lifted the veil with one hand, brushed his temple hair with the other and said with a smile: "Today we What time is it?" Qiuxiang said: "Tomorrow is one day, the day after tomorrow is Qiye's birthday." Runzhi said: "I went to bed early and forgot, so I didn't go to the front to check the telegram, saying that my fourth sister will be here today and tomorrow. Arriving in Beijing. If we arrive, Lao Qi will have an extra income." Minzhi said: "Probably there is no telegram. If there is a telegram, my mother will definitely ask us to tell it." Runzhi said: "Qiuxiang, you were just now Did you come from the front? Did you hear that there was a telegram?" Min Zhi said: "You are asking in vain, if she came from the front, as long as we mentioned it like this, she would have already said it, so why do you need to ask?" Run Zhidao: "What's the point?" Qiu Xiang pouted and said, "Why don't you understand? Fifth Miss called me a quick-talking girl." As soon as she said it, everyone laughed.Qiuxiang was embarrassed, but she still took Ah Nan to the corridor to talk.A Nan asked, "What are you going to give?" Qiuxiang said, "I want you alone, and me alone, and invite Yu'er and Xiaolan. Let's pool our money and buy a few things for him to display in the house. Seventh Lord He likes people giving him these things. Don’t you see that there are gifts from others in the house?” Ah Nan said: “You used your thumb as a fan! I know that the things in his house are There are three classes. The first class is given to him by his girlfriend. The second class is given to him by male and female actors. The third class is given to him by his boyfriend. Which class do we count?" Qiuxiang said: "Anyway, people can't throw it away. It's always a favor to send it away." Just as I was talking, I saw two florists bring a pot of newly opened osmanthus and put it on the steps.Runzhi laughed in the room and said: "I thought of a way for you, Qi Ye was going to treat guests that day, you bought dozens of pots of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers for Qi Ye, and let him treat guests to enjoy the flowers, he would be very happy. Fortunately, you don’t spend a lot of money.” Qiuxiang said: “Really? What kind of gift is that?” Runzhi said: “You are ordinary people, how do you know this? You can give it as I say, there is nothing wrong with it.” Minzhi also laughed and said, "Qiuxiang gave sweet-scented osmanthus, which is interesting. With your name, he has to accept it." Qiuxiang laughed and said, "That's just for me, I won't do it." Runzhi said: " Fool, why don't you give such a cheap and beautiful gift? This is a well-behaved gift, who is kidding?" Qiu Xiang believed it after hearing Runzhi's words.When I found Yu'er and Xiaolan, I said that each of them would pay three yuan, and I put them together and gave them to the florist, and asked him to buy them.

After Qiuxiang had done this, she sent Yufen's birthday gift to Yanxi's study.Yanxi took the red paper sleeve and took out the contents to see that it was also a check for one hundred yuan.Then she laughed and said, "Why are they all giving me money? That's good, everyone is giving me money like this, I'm going to make a small fortune." Qiuxiang said with a smile: "Qiye, don't laugh at us, we and I Ah Nan and the others collected some money to buy some sweet-scented osmanthus for Seventh Lord's birthday, I don't know if Seventh Lord will give you face or not?" Yanxi couldn't help but smile when she heard Qiu Xiang say that she had also collected some money. Hong, later she said it was a gift of sweet-scented osmanthus, and then smiled and said: "It's very elegant, I will accept it all, and I will treat everyone to a drink that day, and then you can enjoy the sweet-scented osmanthus." A piece of antique cloud paper, I picked up a pen and wrote a reply note, it was surrendered to pay homage to the leader, respectful envoy Yang Siyuan, Qiu Xiang stood by the table, and when she saw it, she reached out and pressed the paper to prevent him from writing. .He laughed and said: "Qi Ye's birthday, I also feel that I can't afford to give a good gift, it doesn't look good, why does Qi Ye pay for it?" Yanxi said: "It's your favor for you to give gifts. Young Mistress gave me a gift, I respect her efforts, it is my favor, so how can I save it?" Qiuxiang said: "Qiye wrote it, and I don't want it either. I don't talk about it, so I will leave. "After finishing speaking, turn around and leave.Yanxi immediately jumped up, grabbed a lock of short hair on her head, and said with a smile, "I can't run away." Qiuxiang laughed and said, "Ah! My hair is broken." Yanxi laughed and said, "I still don't know if you can run away." Are you running?" Just as they were talking and laughing, Yu'er came running panting like a bull, holding up her hands and saying, "Are you going to make trouble? Well, there is something going on in the back, go and see." Yanxi saw this This situation frightened her.
