Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 211 Invite Your Wife to Enjoy Meals
"I don't know about that, let's send it away."

When I came to Rongguo Mansion, it was really lunch time. The eldest wife Zhang Lingxuan was not in her yard, but was serving lunch at the old lady's place.The servants reported that Aunt Xue's wife had come, Zhang Lingxuan asked Wu Linzhu and Li Wan to wait on her, and she and Mrs. Wang came out from inside.

As soon as Madam Wang saw that her younger sister came with Baochai, and there were a few women behind her, who seemed to have sent something, she said, "Why is my younger sister here so sooner or later? But what's the matter?"

Zhang Lingxuan only asked her: "Have you eaten, my aunt? Why are you so busy, you are not hungry, so you are not afraid of starving Baochai?"

Xue Wang's face was bitter: "Well, what time is this, who wants to eat! I know it's a bit unseemly for me to barge in like a headless chicken today, but if I turn this matter back When I come home again, I feel even more guilty."

Zhang Lingxuan and Mrs. Wang looked at each other. When they came out, they knew that Mrs. Wang Xue had something to do. Now hearing her tone, it seems that the matter is not small.

Zhang Lingxuan hurriedly said: "Don't stand here, just sit in the flower hall and talk."

Xue Wang's party led Baochai, and ordered the mother-in-law who came together to put the things in the main hall of the flower hall before waving them away.There were no outsiders here, Xue Wang went to the burden, lifted the cloth covering the burden, took out the contents and put them on the table for Zhang Lingxuan and Mrs. Wang to see.

The two couldn't help being surprised when they saw what Mrs. Xue brought.

Mrs. Wang said: "Sister-in-law, isn't this bottle originally from your yard? There is also an inkstone, which was used by Lian'er when he was a child. His uncle finally got a piece of money after spending a lot of money. Now he can't buy it even if he has money." It's so good, this...how is this in the hands of my sister?"

"Yes, of course I recognize these two things. But they were all reported as damaged back then, especially this inkstone, even the broken material was stored in the warehouse, how did it go to the concubine's hand again? Auntie, where did you get this thing?"

The old lady of the anti-rich family has been obsessed with the evaluation of antiques since she was a child. In modern times, more than a dozen treasure appraisal experts may not be as good as the head mother of the family who has been in charge of the family for 20 years.That's why Zhang Lingxuan could tell at a glance that this thing came from her own home.

Xue Wang said with a sneer: "Speaking of which, I also saw these two things with my own eyes a few years ago. If it weren't for their excellent appearance, maybe I don't remember where I saw them. However, these two things Wherever you put it, it is a priceless treasure, so I still remember that it is a treasure of your mansion. The eldest lady asked me how I got it? This is a coincidence, but I saw it when I was packing up our shop. You said , can I send it to you as soon as possible?"

"what?!"

Zhang Lingxuan was really angry this time. A person with fair skin like her would blush when she gets excited. Not only did she blush this time, but her neck and ears were also red.

The value of these things is at least tens of thousands of taels. It would be fine if they were really damaged, but they were pawned by the people below using extremely clever methods.This happened to be sent to the Xue family's pawn shop for pawn, and Wang Xue happened to know him, so he gave it back out of love as a relative. So what about the other valuable items in the house?

"Auntie... this... I'm really sorry that I want you to send it back specially. How much are these things paid for? I'll give you the money, and I can't ask your family to spend money in it for nothing."

Mrs. Wang also said: "Yes, although we are relatives, but one yard is worth one yard, and it is better to settle the account clearly."

Mrs. Xue waved her hands again and again: "Don't say such a thing. This is something I secretly took back from the pawn shop without telling our master. Because Pan'er is not at home during this period, the master will send me to many important things. Do it, it's the turn of the pawnshop business, the first time I saw this thing, I asked someone to keep it carefully, and only said that I took it back for my own enjoyment, and even the master has never seen it, what kind of money do you want?
It turns out that...it turns out that I feel that such a good thing cannot be pawned by the masters of your house. Even if you want to pawn it, you will not get it from a pawn shop opened by a relative. It must be a blind slave. The eldest wife and sister may not know what they are doing.We are both in charge of the same family, and we have a relationship like sisters. That's why I sent it like this. If I want to give money, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse?

It's just that if the eldest wife and sister blame me for being nosy and nosy, then it's hard for me to say it, just pretend that I haven't been here today. "

Zhang Lingxuan grabbed her hand and said: "My good sister, you are covering up for us. If you think about our Rongguo Mansion so much, I don't appreciate it, and you still have to blame you, then what kind of person am I?" I know what you mean. I accept this thing, and I have to discuss a countermeasure carefully. It is necessary to investigate and investigate. Usually, the whole family said that I was too lenient, and the subordinates became more and more tolerant. It doesn't look like it. Now I feel that generosity is really superfluous for that servant whose screwdriver is not flattering. If I don't do a few vicious things, I'm afraid my whole family won't know me, Zhang Lingxuan!"

Xue Wang said with a smile: "That's what I meant. It's good that the eldest wife doesn't blame me. Now, let's give some food to our mother and daughter. I haven't eaten until now, but I'm so hungry."

Zhang Lingxuan smiled and called for dinner, then turned around and went to Jiamu's yard. Mrs. Wang stayed to eat with Xue Wangshi and Baochai.

Mrs. Wang said: "Thank you sister. Today's incident really slapped her in the face. In the past, she always said that the slaves in the big house obeyed the rules, and that the slaves in other places were not good here. It's all right now, the warden stole out at the door of her house, and even stole two such valuable things, see if she's ashamed or not."

Xue Wang also laughed and said: "That's the case. But I shouldn't have said that. There are too many slaves in this house. The family is big and the business is big, so it's really hard to manage. Last time after the eldest wife recovered from illness, Didn’t it have been rectified? It was quiet for a while, but recently I saw that it was messed up again, why?”

Mrs. Wang sighed: "It's hard to say when the two things you brought were stolen. Let's just talk about what you just mentioned. The eldest lady indeed punished the servants severely. At that time, Those who were sold were sold out, and those who were kicked out were kicked out. They didn’t even give face to the family’s children, and the old lady’s face didn’t look good. She was so reasonable and well-founded, and even used the title of advocating frugality in the court. The old lady didn't say a word, so it was even harder for others to say anything. Especially her yard, the inner and outer floors have been renovated. But what's the use?"
