Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

More than a year after her rebirth, Wang Xifeng has visited the Rong and Ning mansions several times.

New Year's banquet, several birthdays, and Jia Zhu's wedding.

At first, she was overwhelmed and couldn't control herself, and even cried once, but later, she gradually got used to it.

Now, she can sit upright and remain unmoved when looking at those ugly-looking acquaintances, friends, and enemies from her previous life.

When they arrived at the place and got off the car, Yu still held Wang Jialuan's hand tightly and walked in front.

Wang Xifeng was calm and composed, with a smile on her face, holding Ping'er's hand, and following three or four steps behind.

Finally, she no longer had to worry about anyone hearing her little talk. Ping'er was so anxious that her face turned red. She whispered, "Miss, I always feel that the Second Madam has bad intentions...

"Now even the second girl won't let go and stay with you...

"They must be plotting against you!

"Girl, what should we do?

"How about I find an opportunity to push that Second Master into the pond?"

Wang Xifeng was so amused by her that she almost laughed out loud. She covered her mouth with her fan, glared at her, and whispered:

"And then they ask you to pay with your life? You still have to pay with your daughter, right?

"What a bad idea! Just be patient, your daughter has her own ideas!"

Ping'er gave up in disappointment.

Wang Xifeng smiled again and squeezed her hand affectionately: "However, I will remember your loyalty. I will reward you when I get home!"

Ping Er pouted: "As long as the young lady is safe and happy, it doesn't matter whether there is a reward or not~"

The master and servant chatted casually and entered the inner courtyard of the Jia Mansion.

There are four kings and eight dukes who made great contributions to the founding of the country. The four kings are Dongping, Xining, Nangan and Beijing. Among the eight dukes, only Duke Ning and Duke Rong are brothers.

The Jinling Jia family had two masters, who were the most prominent in the past hundred years.

However, none of his descendants are capable of anything. Jia Jing, the only person who inherited the title of Ningguo Mansion and was a successful imperial scholar, resigned from his official position and title and went to a Taoist temple outside the city because of his "passion" for practicing Taoism.

The title was given to his son Jia Zhen, who is now only a third-rank general.

As for the Rongguo Mansion, although the title of first-class general is still in the hands of the eldest son, Jia She, this man is now greedy for wine and lustful, and his reputation in the capital has long been ruined.

The lady dowager of Rongguo Mansion, Shi, commonly known as Grandmother Jia, lived in the middle road of the Duke's Mansion with her second son Jia Zheng, and all the household affairs of the mansion were controlled by the second wife, Jia Wangshi.

Since Jia Zheng was also a Yuanwailang, Jia Wangshi was simply called Mrs. Wang.

This time, Wang Xifeng followed Yu and went directly to the main house to visit Lady Jia. Mrs. Wang arrived at the second gate early to welcome the three of them into the house.

When they arrived at Jia's house, Mrs. Wang immediately became friendly and humble. Not only did she personally take Yu's hand, she also praised Wang Xifeng and Wang Jialuan:

"Sister Feng is really a grown-up girl. She was favored by the emperor in the selection the other day, which shows that she is outstanding.

"Sister Luan has become more quiet and sensible than before. I see that she looks exactly like your mother, who was dignified and elegant when she was young."

The two sisters held hands and lowered their heads, pretending to be shy.

After carrying two adults, the two girls looked at each other and rolled their eyes: Everyone knows how arrogant this aunt is at her mother's house? How can she pretend to be virtuous now? !

These days, the weather was hot, and the nanny who taught Yuanchun also came into the house. Grandmother Jia became nervous and excited, and she got irritated, and then she wanted to stay cool, so she caught a cold.

"I have already taken the medicine. Thank you for your concern, Auntie." Grandmother Jia leaned on the couch, smiling politely, and her eyes involuntarily fell on Wang Xifeng.

Yu Shi understood the situation and waved to Wang Xifeng with a smile, "What are you standing there for? Come and kowtow to the old ancestor."

Ancestor? !

Whose ancestor is this?

Why should I kowtow to her? !

Wang Xifeng was unhappy, so her smile grew wider. She took two steps forward, knelt gracefully, and bowed: "Greetings to the old lady."

Without waiting for Lady Jia to call her, she stood up again and asked with an innocent smile, "Old lady, am I doing this etiquette correctly? My aunt just taught me that!"

Not the ancestor, but the old lady.

Only Lady Wang, Mrs. Yu and Lady Jia noticed this subtle difference.

Mrs. Wang's face darkened slightly, and she glanced at Yu indifferently.

Yu's smile also faded slightly.

Only Jia's mother calmly patted her side and smiled: "If you are not afraid that I will pass my illness to you, why don't you come and sit next to me?"

Then he explained to Yu with a smile, "I am old, and I just love these young and cheerful girls! Aunt, please don't blame me for taking advantage of my age!"

"How could that be!" Yu hurriedly said, "The old lady is a centenarian. If Feng can borrow one ten-thousandth of your good fortune, it will be enough for her to enjoy for the rest of her life!"

Everyone in the room laughed and said that Yu was good at talking.

Only Jia She's wife, Madam Xing, could not get a word in, so she just watched with a silly smile on her face.

Wang Xifeng sat down beside Lady Jia openly and happily, and even took the old lady's hand:

"Does the old lady have anything to tell me?"

"Yes, yes, it is indeed there." Grandmother Jia was very satisfied, looked around, and said, "Daughter-in-law Zhu'er is here, go and call your elder sister Yuanchun over.

"There are distinguished guests at home, and she is the one who should greet them. Let her aunt give her an hour's leave."

Jia Zhu's wife Li Wan was already pregnant. She stood up, holding her slightly protruding belly, and agreed respectfully, "Yes.

"Can my grandson's wife bring my second sister along as well?"

Grandmother Jia shook her head and said, "The two girls are too young. If they come, they will just make trouble. There is no need to call them.

"You are in a bad condition. Tell your elder sister and go back to rest. Come back for dinner."

It seems that Sanchun has been ordered not to wander around.

Now Li Wan was also driven back to her own residence and was not allowed to appear outside.

At that moment Yuanchun came, took me out and hid me again. In this huge house, except for a group of servants, I was helpless!

Wang Xifeng sneered in her heart, but she was confident.

"Although our Yuanchun is your elder sister, she is not as clever as you. Now that you have been chosen, you should have a good time with her and talk about the rules taught by your respective aunts.

"What do you think?" Mother Jia was kind and polite.

Wang Xifeng agreed immediately and said with a smile, "My second aunt said the same thing when she came here.

"I have never been to school, I am illiterate, and I am a vulgar person. Our Aunt Meng gets a headache when she sees me.

"I was just asking my eldest cousin to teach me a few tricks on how to coax these aunts to stop punishing me all the time!"

The elders all breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled.

But no one commented.

Because the niece "had never been to school and was illiterate" was the fault of Wang Ziteng and Yu Shi;

If the four words "vulgar and vulgar" were acknowledged, it would become a label for the girl from the Wang family, and would also affect Yuanchun's reputation, which was something that neither Yu nor Mrs. Wang could afford.

So no one dared to answer.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xing finally found a way to talk, and she smiled happily and rushed to speak: "Look at this Fengjie, she is so pretty and smart.

“He doesn’t say much, but he makes people happy and cheerful just by listening to him!

"I'm so in love with her! If I had a daughter like this, I would wake up laughing in my dreams!"

Yu's face suddenly froze!

What a word! ?

Aren't you here today to arrange a marriage for this woman's son, that is, to appoint a daughter-in-law for her?

Why did she suddenly come out and say she wanted to acknowledge her daughter? Isn't this just ruining the show? !

Yu looked at Mrs. Wang fiercely with a gaze as sharp as a knife!

How do you do things?!

Isn't this just trampling on the face of our Wang family?

If the Jia family was not wholeheartedly willing to marry her, would it be our Wang family who was the one rushing to pay for her? ?

Mrs. Wang could no longer hold back. She was extremely embarrassed and annoyed. She looked at Mrs. Xing with a gloomy face and said rudely, "Sister-in-law, you are talking nonsense again!

"Sister-in-law has her own daughter, and our little girl Feng has her own parents. If they don't agree, sister-in-law should not mention it!"

Being silenced by her brother-in-law in front of Lady Jia and the Wang family’s guests, Mrs. Xing was immediately annoyed: “I praised your niece, but you thought I was talking too much.

"In that case, you good relatives can just reunite on your own. Why do you have to come to my Jia's house?"

She immediately stood up, bowed to Lady Jia, and said with a sob, "Mother, please take care of me. I am not good at talking, so I won't embarrass you in front of the distinguished guests.

"My daughter-in-law is resigning."

After saying that, he wiped his tears and walked away.

Grandmother Jia was extremely embarrassed. She closed her eyes and sighed. When she opened her eyes again, she had a different expression: "Aunt, please don't laugh at me.

"The second wife of our eldest son is not worthy of being on the stage.

"Otherwise, why should I just eat and sleep well? Why should I worry about my grandchildren?

"Although your sister-in-law is very nice, how can she take care of such a big family?

"Oh..." As he said this, he actually pulled Wang Xifeng's hand and patted it.

Wang Xifeng looked confused, blinked her eyes and closed her mouth.

An attitude of "I don't understand what's going on, I won't say anything and I'll just behave myself."

Fortunately, Jia Yuanchun's gentle and steady voice was heard outside: "Grandma, mother, aunt, I'm coming in."

Everyone quickly put on a happy expression and gently put the previous scene behind them.
