The clever maid of the red mansion

Liu'er is now a month old, and there are a lot of bad news outside, and Mr. Feng strictly prohibits it from entering the inner house.Seeing that Mrs. Li greeted her sister-in-law and younger siblings, Liu'er is almost blind now.

Therefore, everyone in the mansion knew that something was wrong with Jia's mansion, but Liu'er didn't know it, and continued to eat, drink and live as usual.

As a matter of fact, the matter of Jia's mansion did not happen so early, but Lin Daiyu made a big fuss, and someone with a heart pushed the flames. Bad things just happen sooner or later.

As early as when Liu'er was diagnosed with pregnancy, rumors had spread in Beijing that the second wife of the Rong Mansion, Mrs. Wang, had sold antiques, calligraphy and paintings, loan sharks, arranged lawsuits, and borrowed usury.

And it is said that the origin of everything is borrowing usury to build the Xingqin's villa for decoration!

It's all about money anyway.

Because Jia's internal pockets were already empty, this was known to almost everyone, so it was not unusual for things to happen, and it was quite expected.So far, Mrs. Wang has become a negative example of the noble ladies in Beijing, and she has put a heavy black mark on the girl of the Wang family!

In the past, Mr. Feng took two western things, a crocodile tent and mother-of-pearl beads, to try out on business, but the Jia family was really powerless.

In the Rong Mansion, Mrs. Wang was the principal offender, and her niece Wang Xifeng was the accomplice. The two crimes were the most serious.The man is the patriarch Jia She, a traffic official who steals someone's fan and kills him.The rest of the people, etc., are not very important. They have neither committed crimes nor caused chaos.

As for the East Mansion, Uncle Zhen lured the children of the aristocratic family to gather for gambling, and forcibly occupied the j□j daughters, forcing their lives, and also ransacked the house.

If you say it's serious, it's more serious for the old man, communicating with foreign officials, it sounds like you're not trying to catch up with the best, why are you communicating with foreign officials if you have nothing to do?It is very intriguing.So much so that the blind man can see the hidden story when they ransack the house, but there is an obvious reason for it.

According to the censor's participation, the foreign official who communicated with him was the chief official of Ping'an Prefecture, needless to say, he was also unlucky.

But there are not many people who know about causality, and Mr. Feng is the one who knows.

An official in Jia Yucun has an official protection talisman from a small door, and Feng Sanye also has a lightning protection talisman in his heart, which is the one that scared Mrs. Wang to death.

Therefore, Mr. Feng was not surprised at all by committing crimes against the chief official of Ping'an Prefecture.On the contrary, Feng Likui, the former Chief Military Officer of Ping'an Prefecture, was so grateful that he moved it out, otherwise this time he would definitely be killed. The important thing is that it is not wronged to suffer.

Originally Feng Likui gave Feng Sanye a big gift when he was promoted, but now that Jia's house has been ransacked, he got some famous calligraphy and paintings to send to Feng Sanye through his connections.Thinking that the Jia Mansion belonged to a wealthy family at any rate, what was copied must be good stuff.Although I heard rumors earlier that the second wife of the Jia family had pawned all the good calligraphy and paintings, but there are still a lot of centipedes left, and they should all be good things.

The attendant beside Feng Likui gave the box to Bu Jing, Bu Jing accepted it with a smile, and held it in for the third master to see.

Third Master Feng motioned the boys to unfold, but he just glanced at it. It looked good, with ink and fine brushwork, and the signatures were all from the famous masters of the former dynasty. He nodded, "Pack it up and take it in for your grandma."

Bujing went to the second gate and handed it to the red flower who happened to be out on business, explaining the reason. It was not a big deal. Sometimes Feng Sanye got good things to please his wife, or took them in by himself, or sent them in by others. .

After listening to Honghua explaining the reason, Liu'er asked to open it to have a look. When Mung Dou and Dong'er slowly unfolded the scroll, Liu'er only glanced at it, and was stunned at that moment.After reading several paintings, I was puzzled.

"Hong Hua, go and ask what the third master is doing in the study. If you have time to spare, ask him to come back and tell him that I have something to ask him."

Now Mr. Feng is also the chief official of a yamen, and he has a lot of daily official duties. In the morning and evening or when he takes a bath, he spends a long time in the study outside, which is really not leisurely.As for the servant beside him, Qingshuang is best at copying documents, and often does some desk work along with him.

When Honghua came to pass the message, Feng Sanye was dictating a letter, and Qingshuang was writing there.The boys waiting on the porch outside saw that they were the maids in the grandma's house, so they didn't dare to neglect, so they hurried in to pass the news.

Feng Ziying knew that her daughter-in-law would definitely not seek him in if she had nothing important to do, so she roughly gave Qingshuang a few words, left the study, and went back to the inner house.

Seeing Feng Ziying's return, Liu'er didn't show any courtesy to him, and dismissed the girls in the house, pointing to a painting on the table, "Where did this come from?"

Feng Ziying glanced at it, took a sip of the tea in front of him, and teased leisurely, "The boys in the study outside make tea, it's like drinking cows and horses, and our wife in the house makes it fragrant."

"Okay, I know that your sweet tongue can deceive people. You just think that my embroidery paintings are fake for so many years, how can you bring fakes in to fool me?" Liu'er was naturally happy to hear his flattery, with a smile on her face. Laughing.

Mr. Feng did not suspect him, so he opened his eyes wide and took a closer look, "Huh? Is it fake? I just don't think it looks like it. Old Feng will never give me a fake one, he said. Bought from a pawnshop, and recognized by the person, it must be authentic."

"I don't know about old Feng Xiaofeng's. I only know that these paintings must be fake. Besides, j□j out of ten are still from Rongguo Mansion, am I right?" Liu Er looked at Feng Ziying , the tone is very firm.

Third Master Feng is the most refined person. Hearing Liu Er's words, he stroked his chin and looked up and down at his wife.Although I knew Liu'er's ability a long time ago, together with painting, there are indeed some advantages, but... I can see fakes at a glance, can it be so powerful?

Then he shook his head, Mr. Feng was not very trustworthy, "No way, old Feng Ruo's fake fooled me, didn't he just slap his tongue, how could he have the face to see me in the future, he is not that kind of person."

"You, you understand the world better than anyone else, but there are some things that make sense everywhere. I'm not afraid to tell you now. When I embroidered landscape screens for my mother, I searched all over to draw a good picture. Almost all the calligraphy and paintings in Jia's warehouse were copied. Then, all the copied ones were kept..." At this point, Liu Er stopped talking, and only looked at Feng Ziying with a meaningful smile.

Mr. Feng was indeed frightened by his wife, his face changed, and he opened his mouth and said, "How dare you be so bold, if you are found out, you will still have your little life! For a few paintings, whichever is less important?" What is more important, such a big person, don't you know how to care about it?"

Liu'er didn't think so, and glared at Feng Ziying, "Am I stupid? I'm not afraid to tell you the truth now. Ever since I entered Jia's mansion, I have helped the eldest girl to be the elder sister of the Lin family. How many calligraphy and paintings I have copied are not borrowed from me." Authentic works. It’s been a few years in a row. Basically, there are not many real works in the mansion. By the time I went to the warehouse to pick them out, there were not many real ones. Call me cowardly, in this world, if you are as ignorant as you, just wait to be fooled."

After saying a few words, Third Master Feng blushed slightly. In fact, compared with Second Master Bao and other dudes, he has read a few books. Basically, he doesn't meet any great scholars, and he can still fool around for a while.Now in the mouth of his wife, he really became an uneducated person.

However, this is not the point. The important thing is that this matter cannot be done in the future.I often walk by the river, and there is no one who does not get wet shoes.

Seeing that Liu'er's face was not very happy, but he couldn't speak too straightforwardly, he had to persuade him softly, explaining the facts and making sense, with a good voice, and after talking for a while, he finally brought back Liu'er's expression.

"Okay, I know you're doing it for my own good. Now that I think about it, it's really inappropriate. Wasn't it young and thoughtless at that time? I won't do it lightly in the future. Even if you want to do it, your third master nods, little It’s not enough to pick up the pen!” It’s not that Liu’er doesn’t know what to do, she only takes Joe, otherwise, if she is not careful, she will become the one who was trained to be ignorant again.

Now Liu'er understood Feng Ziying. Don't give this person a chance, or he will become the east wind that overwhelms the west wind.

Mr. Feng is already satisfied, Liu'er is eloquent, and it's not easy to be subdued. Although he nodded and smiled, "I know that I will do it for you wholeheartedly, but don't worry about being a husband. In the future, whoever will send me fake calligraphy and paintings, let me take care of him." Well, with a daughter-in-law and you sitting in the township, our family has a bit more scholarly heritage, not bad. But now, let’s keep these few daughter-in-law’s calligraphy. In my heart, they are much more valuable than the real ones."

This time, Liu'er felt at ease, and couldn't help but smile on her face, and she said a little proudly, "That's right, the imitation depends on whose handwriting it is. Whatever else, the few boxes of calligraphy and paintings in our house now, wait After moving out, I have to tidy up and keep them well, all of them are fine products."

The husband and wife had a conversation, and Third Master Feng had dinner with Liu Er, then went back to the study outside, and ordered Bu Jing as soon as he entered the room, "Call me Baihe and Lingbao."

After the white crane arrived, Feng Ziying told the two of them, "Lingbao, go to see Mr. Feng Lipei, and tell me that I like the calligraphy and paintings he sent. Ask him if there is any other way. I'll spend some money to buy some more. Alright, it doesn’t matter if the silver is more expensive, let’s go.”

Seeing that Lingbao saluted and agreed to go, Feng Ziying told Bai He, "You go to find Liang San..." Bai He also went.

Feng Ziying sat in front of the desk, tapped the armrest of the chair with her finger, frowned in thought, and called Bu Jing in after a while, and said, "You go to see Zhao Quan of Jinyi Mansion, so say... go to Lvchen to pay 1000 taels of silver." Bujing also went without mentioning it.

"Call Nanny Li here, quietly, don't let anyone know." Feng Ziying ordered another young servant who looked bright.

Just now Liu'er talked about calligraphy and painting, and ignored that. Now she has to tell Nanny Li and others, if Liu'er knows about Jia's affairs, nothing else, the old lady must be worried, he But dare not let her out.Now it is necessary to do my best for her, and Liu'er will feel better afterwards.

Mr. Feng sat there, dispatching troops and generals. He felt that it was almost time to do business, so he called Qingshuang in to do some urgent paperwork.

Going back to the room at night, without mentioning a word, still talking and laughing, the husband and wife had dinner and talked over tea.

It's just that besides telling jokes, Mr. Feng now has something more to say about calligraphy, painting and poetry with his daughter-in-law.

One chats happily, and the other has more knowledge, but it is also a husband and wife, and they complement each other.
