[Red Mansions] The good life of the wife of the official family

Zhao Zhihan didn't want to answer her words about the butler not caring about the house, so she changed the subject and said, "Is there a big sister again?"

In terms of seniority, Mrs. Wang is her sister-in-law, so she should be called sister.However, in terms of actual age, Mrs. Wang is about the same age as Mrs. Shi Shi of the Wang family.She is much older than her, Zhao Zhihan, so calling her younger sister is more offensive.

Mrs. Wang, however, had a smile on her lips, reached out her hand to touch her belly, and said, "Isn't it? It's been more than three months, and I can give birth this year. I'm twelve or three years younger than his brothers and sisters." When she was born, she would definitely be treated like a precious treasure."

Jia Baoyu can also be regarded as Mrs. Wang who has a son when she is old. It is not easy in ancient times for someone like Mrs. Wang to be able to give birth to a child in her late thirties.Of course, it is needless to say that Jia Baoyu was favored.Not only because he is younger than Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun, but also because he was born with a piece of precious jade in his mouth.Zhao Zhihan didn't know if this was fabricated by Cao Dada or if it was true in the world of the Red Chamber, but this is all for later.

"Big sister is so lucky." Zhao Zhihan said, looking at Mrs. Wang's stomach with a smile on her face.With her behavior like this, Mrs. Wang naturally envied her.So Mrs. Wang looked at Zhao Zhihan with a face full of I understand your thoughts, and said: "Since the second sister-in-law knows that this is a blessing, she should work harder."

Zhao Zhihan smiled and took a breath, "Eldest sister also knows that this is not a matter of one person."

"The matter of the housekeeper, is it a matter of one person?" The topic went around, and Mrs. Wang still got involved in this matter. She looked at Zhao Zhihan and continued: "There is a good opportunity right now, and it will be next month." It's the old lady's fiftieth birthday, and the second sister-in-law must seize this opportunity."

Zhao Zhihan was indeed thinking about this matter, but she didn't want this opportunity to fight for family property.She just wants to use what she can to get more money in a short time so that she can implement her plan.Now that Mrs. Wang mentioned this matter, it would not be a bad thing to have a chat, so Zhao Zhihan said: "This matter is easy to talk about, but how can we grasp it?"

Mrs. Wang smiled, "It's not easy. The second sister-in-law just needs to do a little bit of tricks at the beginning of the preparations for the birthday banquet, so that the elder sister-in-law can't get out of bed to prepare. The second sister-in-law has shown her skills this time. Next Are you afraid that there will be no chance? But there is also one thing, if the second sister-in-law messes up this matter, there will be no chance. Therefore, if the second sister-in-law really wins the management right this time, she must come to me, and I will I will teach you everything you don’t understand.”

"Then I really have to thank my eldest sister." Zhao Zhihan thanked her with an earnest face.

Mrs. Wang just smiled, "Second sister-in-law, you are being polite. You are still young and haven't done anything. You have experienced these things a few times, and you don't understand anything. I will help second sister-in-law. It's for our Wang family. If the family is turned upside down because of the family property, it's not a good thing. I'm on the side of the second sister-in-law, so I will help you."

Zhao Zhihan still thanked her with a smile, and knew in her heart that Madam Wang said she was on her side, but she was actually just doing it for Wang Ziteng.Among the four major families now, the Xue family, which is an official businessman, is not mentioned, although the other two still have titles.But the title is just a good name. When it comes to real power, only Wang Ziteng is the most powerful official in the court.With such an elder brother in her natal family, she naturally had to try her best to stay by her side.In the book, Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng are so stubborn in Jia's house, and Sister Feng has done a lot of shady things behind the scenes, isn't it all because of Wang Ziteng?

Zhao Zhihan chatted patiently with Mrs. Wang until it was getting late. For Zhao Zhihan, chatting with someone who was full of calculations was a rather painful thing.But fortunately, she has gained a lot, seeing the deep thoughts of these women in the deep house and compound.

When Mrs. Wang left, she left Yuan Chun with Mrs. Wu, saying that she would pick her up in a few days.Zhao Zhihan sent her to the second gate, watched her get into the carriage before going back.As soon as she entered her room, she saw Mrs. Chen outside the door, holding Yucca, muttering and cowering.

"Come in if you have anything to say." Only after Zhao Zhihan said this, Mrs. Chen forcefully pulled Yucca into the room.

Zhao Zhihan sat on the chair, looked up at Yucca, and said, "You are going to the eldest wife's room, can you make an agreement with the eldest wife?"

"It's done." Yucca nodded slightly in response. After being beaten this time, her arrogance was not the same as before.

"Where is Mother Chen, have you agreed?"

"Yes, ma'am, it's agreed, the eldest lady will let you move in." Nanny Chen said with a slight bow.

Zhao Zhihan sat still, called Hongyi, and asked Hongyi to call in the maids and maids in her room.Those who did odd jobs in the yard were also called to the door.Then Zhao Zhihan shrugged her shoulders, looked at Nanny Chen and Yu Lan, and said, "It's fate to spend time with everyone. I called everyone here to bid farewell to you. There is one more thing I want to say in front of everyone." Tell Nanny Chen and Yulan, if you are leaving today, I will not keep you, thinking that you are leaving because you feel that you have no face in my yard. There is only one sentence, you are leaving my yard today, If you want to come back in the future, you can't even kneel down and beg me."

Zhao Zhihan's tone was not harsh, but Chen Nanny's heart was still half cold when she heard it.As an old man who has served the Wang family for so many years, she is still able to understand the situation of the Wang family.Although it is the eldest wife Shi Shi who overshadows the sky with one hand in the inner courtyard now, it is just that the old lady Wu Shi has pity for her orphans and widows and does not want to wrong her.The most important thing is that the second wife has nothing to show for it.But now, the second wife is obviously not the second wife who couldn't show her hands before.

The old lady likes the second wife, and the owner is Wang Ziteng.If the second wife's temperament changes, it can be seen who will be the master of this yard in the future.If it wasn't for Zhao Zhihan's last harsh words, she would have left without thinking about it, but now she is thinking about it seriously.Whether to stay and gamble on the second wife's good future, or to join the eldest wife now is a question that is not easy to make up her mind.

If she goes to the First Wife's Shi's Courtyard, Yucca will be able to do something, and she can use Yulan to win some face in front of the First Wife, but she will definitely offend the Second Wife in front of her.If she stays, it will be the eldest wife and Yucca who will offend.Then, she can only be loyal to Zhao Zhihan and help her take care of the yard. It would be best for Zhao Zhihan to be in charge of the house.

"If you have nothing else to say, go." After Zhao Zhihan said this, she raised her hand and asked Hongyi to dismiss the maids and women.The maids and women were just about to leave the house, and Yu Lan had just turned around, but Nanny Chen fell to her knees on the ground with a plop.This move shocked everyone, and everyone stopped moving.Yu Lan also turned around, frowned and looked at Nanny Chen who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Mother, what are you doing?"

Zhao Zhihan also suddenly felt that this matter was interesting, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she looked at Mrs. Chen and said, "Yucca is right, what are you doing?"

From the moment Mrs. Chen made up her mind to kneel down, she didn't plan to care about her old face anymore.She buried her head very low, and said in a steady voice: "The old slave was confused for a moment, and only thought of abandoning the master who has served for several years to climb high branches. It turns out that I have no children in this courtyard, only Yucca A goddaughter, I just want to go there. But now that my wife is like this, I definitely can't do such a wolf-hearted thing. Please forgive me this time, I am willing to stay in the yard and work for my wife."

Although Zhao Zhihan was not quite sure of Mrs. Chen's true thoughts, she was [-]% sure that the high-sounding words were for her.Since it is for her to listen to, then she will naturally listen to it very usefully.Zhao Zhihan looked at her, and simply asked again: "Aren't you going? Have you decided?"

"I'm not going." Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth and said these three words.

Zhao Zhihan smiled, "The rarest thing is that there are loyal servants in front of Li Yi, and Mammy must not be a bully if she stays. I just need Mammy to help me take care of the yard and take care of those ignorant little maids. Ladies and gentlemen, it will save me some trouble. Hongyi, reward Chen Mama with two taels of silver and send Yucca out."

"Hey." Hong Yi agreed, and Mrs. Chen knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and suddenly felt that she had made the right choice.

But Yulan was about to explode in anger, how could she have thought that her godmother would betray her at this juncture.She was only full of anger, enduring the residual pain in her buttocks, went back by herself, took the salute and was about to leave.

Hongyi followed and brought two little girls to help her and help her get the package.Yu Lan shook off the little girl's hand, and said with a sneer, "What are you doing hypocritically? Seeing me reduced to this point alone, I don't know how happy I am. Come and see the joke?"

Hongyi pursed her lips, and said: "Sister, you are serious. We all know that you begged the eldest wife to go to the eldest wife's courtyard. Why do you say that you are reduced? Chen Nanny is just loyal, so don't worry too much about it." Blame her."

Yulan glared at Hongyi, grabbed her own package and left.The two little maids next to her didn't chase after her either, Hongyi ordered, and one of them said: "I won't go, I'll send my sister, we've been annoyed enough by her, we still have to take some heat when everyone is gone. Is it okay to put your face on her cold ass? She is the lowest rank in our yard, and the eldest wife and Nanny Chen are the most arrogant. See if she is still arrogant when she returns to the eldest wife's yard."

Hongyi didn't speak any more, seeing that Yucca had left the yard, it was not difficult for the two little girls to go back by herself.

And Zhao Zhihan felt a little tired mentally after meeting Mrs. Wang and settling the Yucca matter.After dinner, he took the book he brought back from the study in the morning and leaned against the bedside to read it carefully.After reading a few pages, someone suddenly came to her and took the book from her hand, which shocked her.

Zhao Zhihan raised her head slightly startled, seeing that it was Wang Ziteng, suppressed the slight startle again, and said, "Why are you here? Don't ask the servant girl to report."

"Why am I here?" Wang Ziteng raised his eyebrows slightly, his wife is really going against her.
