Femme Beauty

After returning from Wang Ziteng's house, Wang Xifeng finally rested.But she is still preparing to visit the Ningguo Mansion, but this matter cannot be rushed.Although Jia Jing has always taken good care of Jia Lian, he even got a Jinshi to be his master.But as a female family member, Wang Xifeng saw Jia Jing's wife for the first time.It takes at least two days to prepare.But on the first day, she asked her mother-in-law to send a greeting card and made an appointment.I'm not in a hurry anymore.

As she expected, on the third day when she started to rectify the government affairs, the old lady and her aunt teamed up to send her twenty maids.The person who came was from Zhou Rui's family, and it seemed that she was very close to the first two at the moment.In the flower hall of Wang Xifeng's courtyard, she bowed to Wang Xifeng and handed the box containing the deed to Wang Xifeng:

"Our wife said that grandma might be busy when she comes back. Although the mansion seems to have few masters, the yard is big after all. Grandma might not have enough manpower for a while, so she asked me to share [-] men and women. Grandma brought it here for use. If it’s not suitable, you can sell it if you sell it.”

What she said was sweet, and Wang Xifeng smiled when she heard it: "I just said it... A few days ago, Madam Liu, who was in charge, told me that when she returned to Beijing this time, she must buy some people. Didn't the old man follow her?" The old lady left, and she asked my father-in-law to sell it. Although I am afraid that this Nuoda mansion has been the master of my father and I for many years. But it can't be done, the yard is big. Not to mention anything else, just My current manpower is enough to tidy up my small courtyard. The man will come back in a few days, and I heard that my sister-in-law will also come back. When the girl grows up, she will choose someone to marry, right? So All in all, there are not enough manpower. I told her, don’t worry about it. Look, isn’t this just the right time for someone to come! It’s my aunt who loves me!”

Zhou Rui's family didn't mention the old lady, but only Mrs. Wang.Wang Xifeng also followed her words.Anyway, it's not the fault of her being the master.It only needs to be said that the old lady is getting old, and only the young and filial ones have nothing to worry about, and it will pass.

"Our wife also said that grandma got close to her before she left the house." Zhou Rui's family smiled, and Wang Xifeng put the box aside: "I'm busy here, if mom doesn't mind, why don't you help me look at it. People are small and ignorant, so if there is a mistake, it is better to correct it early. Don't wait for our father to come back, and find my mistakes."

"Grandma is just joking, what do I know as an inferior person. I just sent someone to grandma, and the lady at the other end still uses me." Zhou Rui's family heard the words, hurriedly declined, laughed and got up to leave.From sitting down to standing up, she didn't even have a sip of tea.Watching her leave, Wang Xifeng curled his lips.

The arrangement of personnel is very simple, and there are few people in the mansion.It's just that the front yard is sorted out into a set of side yards for the master Jia Lian will bring over in the future.Fortunately, they are all men, although there are two family members.But it doesn't get in the way.There are many side rooms in the mansion, and it is enough to just give one.On weekdays, it used to be the place where Jia Zheng raised Qing Ke to live.Just a clean up is a must.It will take some time for the furniture to be fully furnished.Jia She deposited all the large and valuable things in the mansion in the bank, and she had to get Jia She's credentials to get them back.Fortunately, unless Jia Lian goes to work outside in the future, she will not leave here.

After arranging the manpower in the original mansion, Madam Liu, who was in charge of the affairs, leaned over and whispered into Wang Xifeng's ear: "Grandma, what about the twenty?"

"Isn't the big kitchen short of fire? In addition, the outer courtyard will be given to the husband of the second master in the future, let them go there first and follow the helpers. If they don't do well, just take the corresponding deed and let it go. Besides, your family If you use it, it will be fine to take two of them back." Wang Xifeng picked up the tea bowl and looked at Liu Mama with a smile, although these respectable and inferior people were here with her, they bowed their heads.But in the final analysis, when people return home, they are also served by maids and mothers-in-law.She has nothing against this point.It's like a company that allows your president to hug you. Doesn't the manager have to take care of a nanny when he goes home?

"It's not necessary. In my house, the two of us work in the mansion on weekdays. Even the boys in the family just leave a nanny and two servants to serve. Grandma also knows, I The one with my family is an ordinary job, and I still count on that kid to get a good name in the future!" Liu Mama is not very proud of the twenty or so people, as for the people in the next door, although she has been living with her grandmother all these years In the south of the Yangtze River, after all, the old and the young are all in the capital.I know, not too little.It's okay to say that this young man has entered, and in the future it will be a matter of marrying a daughter-in-law.But that girl, she dare not.

She and her husband are hired workers.It's not Qizi, the prostitute.In the mansion, he has always been doing things in charge.Marrying with the young lady in the family is also what the head wife said before.

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng smiled: "Then you can do whatever you want! The second master and I can have a few needs in this room. At most, it is the sister who will come back in the second half of the year and arrange for some maids and wives. I've thought about it, if I visit the old lady of the Ningguo Mansion tomorrow, I might as well ask her to choose a chaperone for my sister, so I won't worry about it then."

"Grandma said so!" Nanny Liu smiled and left, going out to arrange affairs in the inner courtyard.Wang Xifeng didn't do everything personally like in the first life.She chose the modern enterprise management method learned in the second generation, and the responsibility is assigned to the person.Since the chief steward of the inner and outer courts is divided, there is no need to work hard by yourself.As long as the rules are established, it will be brisk in the future.

After resting for two days, Wang Xifeng changed her old red dress.Wearing a pink and green silk shirt, two simple ice-cracked porcelain hairpins knocked on the gate of Ningguo Mansion.

Yishi looked at the young girl who walked in, and his eyes were filled with surprise.It is said that Wang Ziteng's niece is a beautiful woman who is used to wearing bright red.But in front of her, she was dressed up like a fairy concubine, Mo Yebi.

"I've seen Auntie!" Wang Xifeng bowed with a smile, Yi Shi got up and pulled her to the side of the kang, smiling: "I've heard for a long time that Mrs. Wang's niece is fierce and beautiful, and she is a real person after seeing her here." I feel that the rumors are far from true. I think she will look even better than that fairy concubine."

Wang Xifeng lowered her head and pursed her lips with a smile: "My aunt's words really embarrass me." She looked at Youshi who followed in and said, "I went to the old lady on the day I came back, and the old lady said that my sister-in-law is going to be a grandmother. Well. When I came here, because I didn't get any news, I forgot to prepare the gift. Don't be angry with me, sister-in-law!"

"Why am I mad at you?" She was very happy to hear Wang Xifeng mention the pregnancy of Brother Rong's daughter-in-law.After all, there is a new generation in this family, and the master of the family is also capable.Although it may not be so beautiful in the future, after all, there is a prosperous leader.She sat on a spring stool at one side, and reached out to give the tea bowl brought by the maid to her mother-in-law and Wang Xifeng: "I wrote a letter a year ago, saying that it has been three months, and that I will bring it back after the first birthday."

"That's right." Wang Xifeng looked at Youshi: "I accompanied my aunt to have two children, and the front and back are dangerous..." She raised her hand and patted her chest: "It's not that the gate of hell is closed, it's that little girl The child has to be taken care of to be at ease."

"That's what I said too. But our father said that the old man must have his great-grandson in his arms no matter what. Where is Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, the mothers and sisters who follow are all capable people. There is no way to go from Shandong to this side!"

"I just said it's not such a troublesome thing." Yi Shi smiled and shook his head and pushed the tea bowl: "I heard from Mrs. Wang that you don't drink green tea. This is the old white that your uncle got from the emperor earlier. Taste it how!"

Hearing that it was old white tea, Wang Xifeng picked up the tea bowl with frowned eyebrows: "My aunt must have told me a lot of things. I'm a good person, but few people know."

She picked up the tea bowl, gently pushed aside the floating tea on it, and took a sip.The water temperature is always the same, I'm afraid she started rinsing and boiling it as soon as she entered the gate.When the tea fragrance is overflowing, there is also a feeling of relaxation and smoothness.When she started tasting tea when she was young, Tete liked white tea.But old white tea is scarce, and what she can eat is a little bit that Wang Ziteng got from the emperor.At most, it is two or three bowls.

"I didn't say anything wrong with you, but I just said that you got married too early." Yi Shi smiled and told the mother-in-law at the side: "Later, take a couple of taels and take them back to Lian's daughter-in-law."

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up and said softly: "Oh... Auntie is so kind, if I finish eating, I will ask Auntie for it."

"Okay!" Yishi's personality is thick and soft, and when he was young, he was even more gentle and tenacious.Seeing Wang Xifeng acting like a little girl, she also thought it was good.This girl is smart and blessed at the same time.

Yishi kept Wang Xifeng for lunch, a simple four dishes and one soup.Because Jia Jing was going to use it with his staff in the front yard at noon, he didn't get to see him.But Wang Xifeng doesn't care about this, men have men's affairs.After dinner, I sat on the kang and chatted.When Wang Xifeng mentioned the news that Yingchun was coming back, she spoke sincerely.I am young, although the housekeeper has studied with my aunt for a long time.But it's really not suitable for disciplining my sister-in-law, so can I ask Mrs. Tuo to find a suitable disciplining nanny?Looking at the time, it is a matter of going back after the summer.

Yi Shi didn't care much about this matter, and agreed wholeheartedly.It is still easy for her to recruit one or two suitable chaperones.It's just that Yingchun also looks thirteen or fourteen years old, and she doesn't know what her future marriage plans are.

Wang Xifeng was also very worried about the fact that she would get married when she was thirteen.She once heard Jia Lian say that Jia She seemed to hope that his daughter would marry later.But if it's too late now, it has to be settled first.Otherwise, how can there be a suitable family?If you are in a well-off family, you have to choose carefully.

After hearing what she said, Yi Shi also felt that this was a matter.She has only one girl, Xichun, and she is just beginning to learn the rules.When it comes to getting married or something, there are still some years.She promised to help each other to see each other in the future, and asked Jia Jing to talk to Jia Amnesty.When Wang Xifeng heard that Jia Jing could talk to Jia Amnesty, she was relieved.

After sitting for a while, she got up and left the soil instrument with her and went back to her home.Before entering the door, I heard the mother-in-law say that Mrs. Wang has been waiting inside for half an hour.

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng's heart skipped a beat.As an aunt of hers, she has no profit and can't afford to be early. How could she come here in such a hurry today?

"Why didn't Auntie tell you about the doctor earlier? I went to Dongfu today to pay my respects. If I knew that Auntie was coming today, I wouldn't go." Wang Xifeng said lightly, and Mrs. Wang felt that she was dressed in clear soup and vermicelli. .At least, her niece still knows the inside and outside.

She shook her head to express that she didn't mind: "I was also busy with family affairs, so I thought about whether you have done a good job here, so I will come and have a look. Have you seen the old lady over there?" She doesn't know how to call Mrs. Yi Shi , It is really not familiar with both sides.She wasn't the one who had contact with Yi Shi back then, so she simply didn't contact her.

"My place has a small population, so it's very easy to do. It's not as good as my aunt's place, where there are many people and many things." Wang Xifeng sat on the kang with a smile, took off her shoes and crossed her knees on the kang: "I just got two taels from my aunt in Dongfu. Old white tea, I asked someone to cook it for my aunt to eat."

"Okay! Anyway, I have nothing to do this afternoon." Mrs. Wang promised with a smile.Looking at her appearance, Wang Xifeng was so shocked.She was just being polite... But Wang Xifeng thought about it, and she thought that her aunt might have something to do.

The maid took the tea to cook, and Wang Xifeng looked at Mrs. Wang with a smile: "Auntie, I haven't been here all these years, are you okay? My father-in-law had such a trouble in the spring, and I didn't know until I arrived in Jiangnan. I don't know what will happen in the future. How should I get in touch with my aunt. But after thinking about it, the one who made a fuss is also their Jia surname. Are you my aunt or not?"

"You and I are not related like that. Those who come from the same clan break the bones and connect the tendons. You child is easy to think about it." Mrs. Wang smiled and shook her head: "Last year your aunt who married into Xue's family wrote to me, saying yes You're fine there."

"Little aunt is a warm person. I often go back and forth to Jinling, Yangzhou. Sometimes, when I'm done with things in Zhuangzi, I go over to sit and sit."

"I heard that the eldest girl in her family is three years older than Baoyu?" Mrs. Wang tentatively mentioned Xue Baochai.Wang Xifeng glanced at her, lowered his head and smiled and said, "It's three years older than Brother Bao, and she looks like a strange child. I'm not saying here that the child of a relative's family is not, but that girl may be a treasure of gold and silver. After watching too much, I don’t like those hairpins... Fen’er’s. I spend my whole day with noodles in clear soup, and it looks like the beauty of Bai Mudan. Speaking of which, most of the girls in Xue’s family look like this. The third-bedroom married a daughter-in-law, a girl from the Xue family. It's the same. Even if the dowry is as rich as the daughter of the clan, it's the same. It's very strange."

Mrs. Wang lowered her head and read the prayer beads on her wrist: "A while ago, the old lady told me that she wanted to help Baoyu settle a marriage with Mrs. Lin's daughter. It is... the eldest sister of Aunt Lian'er. But I was thinking about it. I'm afraid it's not right. It's said that aunts and nephews are true, but when we marry a girl, we welcome back a cousin. It is said that we marry a daughter-in-law, and we will get closer. But doing so, it means that blood is flowing How do people like us do those things. Besides, even though the two prefectures are separated, they are from the same line of meritorious service. The old lady may not be able to move where Lin leads people."

"Where is Daiyu, it's inappropriate." Wang Xifeng twitched the corners of her lips when she heard this, "I'll tell you the truth, Auntie, I like that child. Over the years, Uncle Lin has been very caring and loving, so he raised him like a tomboy." Not to mention dancing knives and guns, but also riding horses and having fun. In terms of temperament, it is not suitable after all. Uncle Lin does not hope that she will have any high-ranking marriage in the future, but only said that she can get a good husband, and it will be fine after Qingliu. By doing this, firstly, you don’t have to worry about the anger of your aunt and concubine in the future, and secondly... Daiyu has two brothers after all. The other party has to take care of her mother’s affairs, right? Brother Bao, it’s still a matter of talk Ye's good."

Wang Xifeng didn't speak harshly, but she also nodded.Mrs. Wang listened, but she understood that although this niece did not agree with her, she still thought of her more or less when she spoke.She nodded: "I'm worried that Mrs. Lin doesn't like Baoyu. He is a bastard, how did he catch his eyes. I just think it's more or less appropriate to call your little aunt's daughter. As the saying goes The third year of the female is holding a golden brick. The old lady insists on holding the thread, so I can't say anything. But in the end, this daughter-in-law has to be in front of me when she gets married. "

"That's the truth." Wang Xifeng smiled and took the teacup handed over by the maid, first gave it to Mrs. Ke, and then took her own: "There are many daughters-in-law here, and if they don't like it, they won't be comfortable in the future. But I think, when the old lady is there, the aunt should keep silent. The old lady is old and likes to be lively. She always thinks about the benefits of kissing and getting closer, but in the end, it is not the old lady who decides whether to agree or not in the future. Uncle Lin seems to be a noble person. He has been working in the Yanzheng business for six years. After all, he will be at least a second rank when he enters Beijing. Don't be afraid that my aunt will be angry. What he values ​​in his eyes is really not our meritorious family. I heard from my aunt Er Ye in private that if it wasn't for the fact that she was talented and learned back then, and it was the emperor's order, I'm afraid this marriage would not be possible."

Hearing the lowest grade two, Mrs. Wang felt a little bit in her heart.She knew very well the reason why the old lady chose Lin Daiyu, and she was interested in Lin Ruhai's connections in the officialdom.Compared with the Guozijian sacrifice wine back then, it is indeed a first-class marriage.But she was at odds with Jia Min in the early years, and she absolutely disagreed with marrying Jia Min's daughter as a daughter-in-law.Even marrying a charming princess is better than that of Jia Min's daughter.

She thought about it, and drank her tea with her head down.Wang Xifeng didn't urge her, but also followed her to drink tea.She liked those two girls, not to mention Baochai.Even Daiyu, the clever ghost, is also very fond of it.That girl is no longer as lingering and sick as before, and compared to not having a girl now, she feels that it is good to continue like this.

Mrs. Wang drank half a bowl of tea, talked about some family affairs, and left the mansion she used to be familiar with.Walking to the main entrance, she looked at the Rongxi Hall not far away... her expression was gloomy.
