Winning every step of the Red Mansion

Mrs. Wang went to Wang Xifeng's place once, and said that Aunt Xue's family came to Beijing for her daughter Baochai's election, hoping to live in the mansion. However, Wang Xifeng didn't think it was a big deal, she thought that after informing his wife and the old lady, he arranged to clean the house and let him live in it.But I was tired, so the matter had to be postponed until tomorrow, so I talked to Jia Lian by the way, but when I learned about Xue Pan's trouble, Wang Xifeng was really taken aback, luckily I didn't directly Yes, otherwise I don't know what to do.

Seeing Wang Xifeng's perplexed expression, Jia Lian smiled and said, "It's true that you are in charge of the mansion's errands, but there are old ladies and wives on top. If relatives like this can't enter the mansion, you should accept it, old lady." , It’s not okay for the wife to say no. You just take the second wife to ask together tomorrow.”

Wang Xifeng frowned and said: "What if the old lady and wife haven't received the letter yet?"

Jia Lian laughed and said, "I've told the master about this just now. Do you think the master will tell our wife? You can rest assured." Jia Lian paused and said, "I think it's you, for the time being. Let go of your mind and nature. I have been looking at it recently, but my complexion is not good. I heard from the maid that you lay down just after noon. Why did you sleep for so long? You are still sleepy when you wake up. If you don’t pay attention to yourself, you will be delayed.”

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "It's not so delicate, maybe it's because I have a lot of things these two days, so I feel a little tired."

Early the next morning, Wang Xifeng came early to look for Mrs. Wang, and as soon as she entered the door to say hello, she dragged Mrs. Wang to make amends.Mrs. Wang was taken aback, and naturally asked why.Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Auntie listened, don't annoy me. Yesterday Auntie told me about Aunt Xue's coming to Beijing. I thought I would ask my wife and old lady for instructions later, but I suddenly felt tired. It took me a while to take a nap, and I was afraid that my wife and the old lady would blame me for being lazy and missed the job. Now I am going to use my aunt as my savior, and my aunt will help me cover it up later."

When Mrs. Wang heard what he said, she nodded and said, "I'll go with you." They got up and went to Jia Mu's place together.When I arrived at Jia Mu's place, it happened that Mrs. Zhang was also there. Mrs. Wang thought it would be best to save two trips.The two greeted Jia Mu, and chatted a little more, Madam Wang gave Wang Xifeng a wink, indicating that she should speak first.

Wang Xifeng said knowingly: "The old lady said two days ago that she felt that the house was a little deserted, and that relatives live far away now, and they walked around less. As a result, I just got a letter from the second wife today, saying that it is Aunt Xue's family. It’s a coincidence that you’re going to come to Beijing, it’s obvious that people don’t talk about it.”

Shi Fei'er nodded with a smile, this is really something that people don't talk about, Mrs. Zhang was talking about this to herself just now, but Mrs. Zhang didn't mention Xue Pan's beating to death and hastily spent money to settle the case, she just said that Xue Baochai treated Therefore, Xue's family went to Beijing, but his words were full of worry, and he hesitated to speak.

Shi Fei'er is well aware of Madam Zhang's character, and it's really not her style to gossip about other families behind her back.But Shi Feier is the one who knows the story of the whole book, so he naturally knows that Xue Pan killed Feng Yuan and robbed Xiangling to go to Beijing.It was Jia Yucun who judged the case indiscriminately.I don't know if this matter is still a random case judged by Jia Yucun, but the officials here are all like this. There are always people who are good at doing things like clinging to the powerful. Just a bunch of untouchables.

Shi Feier felt that although he had changed some things, the impact on the Xue family would not change much because of the distance. Besides, he supported the Dong family to build a bank in Jinling. I am afraid that the situation of the Xue family is worse than before. It's much worse.But it doesn't matter if Mrs. Zhang is inconvenient to say, anyway, she just has a bottom line in her heart.

Just as Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang communicated again, and Wang Xifeng opened his mouth about this matter, Shi Feier understood seven or eight points in his heart.Mrs. Wang asked Wang Xifeng to intercede.

Shi Fei'er pretended not to know and said with a smile: "It's such a coincidence. The mansion has not been lively for a long time now, and it is naturally good to be lively."

Wang Xifeng's heart skipped a beat when she heard Jiamu's words. She entered the room and saw her wife was there, guessing that the wife would tell the old lady about Xue Pan, but it seemed that the old lady didn't know what the old lady said.Wang Xifeng looked sideways at Mrs. Zhang, seeing her expression was a little embarrassed at this time.Wang Xifeng thought to himself, could it be that the old lady didn't know about this?

Mrs. Wang was naturally happy when she heard what Jia Mu said. She stepped forward and said, "It's better if it's lively. It's convenient for relatives to live in and out. I heard that Baochai is also a delicate and transparent girl. I'm afraid it's these little ones." The sisters will be even happier if they know about it.”

"Second Wife's words are a little off." Shi Fei'er waved her hand and said, "Xue's family originally belonged to the family of Jinling, owned an imperial merchant, and had a separate house in Beijing. Besides, this time I came to Beijing, also for Xue's sake." My girl is waiting for election. In the past, you also presented Yuanchun's famous dishes. There are many things to prepare. If someone lives in our house, wouldn't they still have to abide by the rules of our house? Added a lot of inconvenience."

Shi Fei'er looked at Mrs. Wang's smile that gradually froze and said: "Of course I know that all of you are well-intentioned, and the relatives should walk around more, but for the sake of their own excitement, it's hard to force others to live in the mansion? "Shi Feier shook his head and said: "In this way, it becomes a bad thing done with good intentions."

After hearing these words, Madam Wang nodded with a stiff face.

Shi Fei'er said again: "Since we know they are coming, we can ask if we want to help them clean up the house. After they are all settled down, post a post to invite them to sit in the mansion, in order to do the best of the kinship Second, I don’t want to disturb others, after all, they came to Beijing this time not to visit relatives, but to do business, but I dare not delay.” Shi Feier paused, as if remembering something: “Before Yuan Chun handed over the famous discs to be selected, and the second wife has prepared a lot, this time it is better to help Aunt Xue, after all, you sisters are very close, you tell her she will believe it, and you can avoid detours."

Madam Wang had no choice but to nod in agreement.At this moment, Wang Xifeng peeked at Mrs. Zhang again, and saw that Mrs. Zhang's complexion eased a lot.My own heart also dropped.

Wang Xifeng said: "It's still the old lady who thinks carefully. I just want my relatives to live closer so that it's easier to move around, but it's far less considerate than the old lady. I'll send someone to ask the Xue family's capital house in a while to see if anyone can help. Clean it up."

Shi Fei'er smiled and said: "Anyway, I let you talk about it anyway, you can do whatever you want, just don't bother others. You have also talked with me for a long time, and the third girl will be right after a while. Come over after school, you should go to your business first."

After hearing what Mother Jia said, the three of them naturally got up.After leaving the courtyard, Mrs. Wang wanted to hold Wang Xifeng to discuss it again, but she didn't know that Mrs. Zhang asked, "Miss Feng, have you paid this month's monthly money?" Mrs. Zhang replied: "It has already been issued, and it was issued yesterday." Mrs. Zhang said again: "Why did I hear a little girl complaining that the monthly payment was originally set and increased, but it has not increased?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Returning to Madam, if the assessment grade has been adjusted, the monthly fee will naturally increase, but it will only be paid from next month, and this month will still follow the old rules."

The two talked while walking, and a group of servant girls followed behind. At this time, Mrs. Wang naturally couldn't discuss with Wang Xifeng anymore, so she could only turn around and go back.Mrs. Zhang and Wang Xifeng entered the house, Mrs. Zhang sent away all the maids and women who followed her, took Wang Xifeng's hand and sat down and said, "My son, do you know that something happened to your Aunt Xue's house?"

Wang Xifeng nodded and said: "I heard that my cousin caused the disaster, and I only heard Lian'er mention it last night." Mrs. Zhang nodded: "I just said that you should know about it, why are you bringing it with me today? Tell the second wife about this."

Wang Xifeng said helplessly: "My wife doesn't know, the second wife came to see me yesterday and told me about this matter. It was just that I was sleepy at the time, and by accident, I delayed until today, otherwise I might have informed the old lady and my wife yesterday, and now I am tidying up the yard. Well." Wang Xifeng paused and said: "Fortunately, my wife explained this matter to the old lady, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said, "I haven't told the old lady about Xue Pan. After all, she is a relative of your natal family and the younger sister of the second wife. If I say such a thing, it will appear to be slander behind her back. Sorry. I was thinking of finding another reason to refuse, but I didn't expect the old lady to answer the call directly and instead settle the matter." Mrs. Zhang paused, "Don't blame us for being cruel, this relative It's my job to help take care of it, but the fact that your cousin caused trouble is not what you should help.

Wang Xifeng nodded: "Maybe the second wife doesn't know about this matter, otherwise she wouldn't come to me to talk about it. I understand what the wife is thinking."

Mrs. Wang was also helpless, but the old lady said something like that, and it was hard to refute it. Naturally, Wang Xifeng took the time to find her and explain it, but it seemed that she wanted to ask Mrs. Wang if she knew Xue Pan was beating her. The dead thing.Mrs. Wang also felt very angry. She didn't know that Wang Xifeng became like this when she married Jia Lian. This matter has been settled, so why mention him.

The Xue family's wish to live in the Jia's mansion failed, so they had to go to live in their own house in Beijing.But Wang Xifeng really sent someone to help tidy up, and the Xue family felt that it was not bad to live in.Aunt Xue naturally wanted to get close to the big tree of Jia's mansion. After all, there were two royal families, and the princess and princess would help with a few words of praise, and Baochai's election would be much easier.So he often took Baochai to Jia's mansion to sell well in front of everyone.
