[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Xifeng packed up and took Ping'er and a few maids to go to Jiamu's place to say hello, but the road was sinking like water, not as happy as the previous two days.As Wang Xifeng's most caring person, Ping'er naturally found out that something was wrong early in the morning, but seeing that Wang Xifeng didn't take the initiative to mention it, she pressed it down and didn't mention it, and she couldn't help but wondered what was going on, how did it just change overnight? big.

Wang Xifeng didn't say a word on the road, but the moment she stepped into Jia Mu's yard, she immediately returned to her old style. Her unique laughter rang out outside the yard, and there was no danger on the road at all. The two styles of painting can be switched freely.As usual, Mrs. Wang served Jia Mu for breakfast. Mrs. Xing should have been on the list, but Mrs. Xing was not feeling well these two days. She always felt chest tightness and dizziness, and her face was always white. Mrs. Xing's greetings, let her rest in a good life, and it will not be too late to greet her when she is done.

After serving Jia's mother, Wang Xifeng followed Mrs. Wang to Rongxi Hall. The aunt and nephew had breakfast together, and Wang Xifeng reported the affairs of the house as usual. Received a pair of cards and went to take them everywhere.Wang Xifeng, the housekeeper, is at most an errand runner. All the cards in the mansion are in the hands of Mrs. Wang, and she has to ask Mrs. Wang for instructions on everything she does. It seems that she has a lot of power, but in fact she can't do much at all. It's just that Wang Xifeng's authorities are obsessed with thinking that Mrs. Wang is more interested in her niece.

The affairs in the mansion were almost done, Wang Xifeng waved back the servant girl who was serving at the side, sat a little closer to Mrs. Wang, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, I went back and thought about the things you mentioned a few days ago, and I think it's a big deal. It's a good idea. I've only been a housekeeper for a few days now, and I feel that the house costs a lot, and everyone wants to be decent, and even the girls who are a little shameless are living more delicately and nourishingly than the female relatives from the small households outside. Money is needed everywhere. As a junior housekeeper, I can never be mean and severe when I come up. I always reward those who deserve rewards, and I dare not punish those who deserve punishment. If my aunt hadn't given me this idea, I would Maybe it really has to be filled with a dowry."

What Wang Xifeng said is half-truth and half-false, the lack of money is true, after all, she has just taken over the family, she has to establish a good reputation first, and as soon as she comes up, she will have a reputation of being mean and mean, and who in the mansion will be willing to do things for her? Naturally, it is bigger, and she always wants to do things beautifully and decently, sometimes the money she spends is just enough, so she can only subsidize it privately, and the subsidy is too much to be unbearable.As for thanking Mrs. Wang, it still needs to be considered. At this moment, Wang Xifeng has begun to doubt Mrs. Wang's real purpose, so naturally it is not a sincere thank you.

"Our aunt and nephew don't need heretics. If you hadn't come to be the daughter-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion, I really don't know who to hand over this huge mansion to. Don't worry, this way I can also relax for a while, eat fast, recite the Buddha's name, and get away from those mundane things." Mrs. Wang held a string of Buddhist beads in her right hand, and she didn't forget to move the shiny beads one by one when she spoke, Patted Wang Xifeng's hand with his left hand.

"Auntie, this is a joke. I'm an ordinary person, and I like to do ordinary things." Wang Xifeng narrowly said, which made Mrs. Wang laugh.

"You monkey, it's not worth teasing the old lady, but you still tease me. I'll tell the old lady to sew your sharp mouth shut tomorrow, and see if you can still make jokes."

"My aunt loves me so much, so she won't complain to the old lady." Wang Xifeng coquettishly continued: "My aunt gave me an idea to make money. I can't eat alone, or my aunt will take me to do it together. Well, give me the palm of your hand too, when the time comes, my aunt will take the big head, and I will take some errand expenses." After finishing speaking, Wang Xifeng quietly and carefully observed Mrs. Wang's reaction, which is equivalent to talking about how to earn money. Mrs. Wang is still leading the business, and she, Wang Xifeng, is only in charge of doing odd jobs and running errands. This is to test Mrs. Wang.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Wang heard this, she paused for a while while turning the prayer beads, but she didn't show it, "What do I want money for when I'm old, because I feel sorry for you always taking dowry stickers, so I gave you such a gift." an idea."

That pause naturally couldn't escape Wang Xifeng's eyes. Hearing Mrs. Wang's words, her eyes darkened, and she continued: "My aunt will save it for Brother Bao to marry a wife in the future." The first family and the second family will be separated. At that time, the first family will account for [-]% of the majority, and the second family will account for [-]%. If Mrs. Wang really doesn't think about it, she naturally hopes to save as much money as possible.If he had other plans, such petty gains would not be taken seriously.It has to be said that Wang Xifeng is very clever, and her temptations are intertwined.

"Brother Bao is hurt by the old lady, so I don't need to worry about it. You, worry about getting a foothold in the mansion first."

These words were answered without leaking, so that Wang Xifeng couldn't find out the problem. Not willing to be so ignorant, she simply increased her firepower: "My aunt still loves me the most, but I am young and careless. It is the first time I do such a thing. My son, I always feel a little flustered in my heart, aunt, do you think there will be any problems?" Wang Xifeng sat lower, looking up at Mrs. Wang eagerly at this moment, as if she was a simple junior seeking the affirmation of her elders.

"You kid, don't you always claim that you are a hero in the face of the fans, and you are not afraid of anything, how can you make some money but look forward and backward? Can your aunt still harm you? You are not asked to pay the capital, just move Use your mouth to help others say hello at the government, and you will have money in the account. If you want to do it, you can do it. If you don’t want to do it, you can refuse it. There is nothing to worry about. Others also do this. I haven’t seen any There is a problem." Mrs. Wang narrowed her eyes, and the words that came out of her mouth were as gentle as ever. When she first mentioned it that day, her eyes were shining brightly. Why did she suddenly look forward and backward today? Did someone say something? .Mrs. Wang consciously understands Wang Xifeng, a niece, who has nothing but power but money in her eyes, and loves to seize power and make things happen to show off her extraordinary abilities. It is only after grasping this that Mrs. Wang feels confident to control Wang Xifeng.

"Auntie said it's okay if there's no problem, and I'll find a chance to test the water tomorrow." Wang Xifeng temporarily put aside her worries as if she had been stimulated.However, Wang Xifeng was not very satisfied. Today's probing did not yield a definite result. The only consolation is that this made Wang Xifeng's suspicions a little bit deeper. I am afraid that the matter that was going to test the water immediately will have to be shelved for a while. Find a chance to make sure.

"Let me tell you one more thing, the money will come quickly after all, don't let anyone else out, except for those who are your confidantes, lest someone will be jealous and clamor to share your hard-earned money." Mrs. Wang did not forget to explain. If it seems to be for Wang Xifeng's sake, as for the real purpose, only Mrs. Wang herself may know.

Wang Xifeng, the person who meant something, naturally knew who it was, and the person in the dream was indeed hiding everything. They didn't know what she did privately until the house was searched and the evidence of the crime was found.Wang Xifeng also didn't see any abnormality on her face: "Don't worry, aunt, how can I be so stupid."

"Second Grandma, Second Grandma..." A servant girl's anxious voice came from outside the house, interrupting the conversation between the aunt and nephew.

"What's the matter to come in and talk about it, what's the point of being in a hurry." Wang Xifeng regained her grandma's demeanor, and unhurriedly summoned the maid to come in.

The servant girl was actually by Mrs. Xing's side. She entered the door in a panic, and said anxiously after saying hello: "Second Mistress, go and see the eldest wife, the eldest wife suddenly fainted."

"Does the old lady know? Have you ever invited a doctor?" Although Wang Xifeng didn't like to see Mrs. Xing, she never paid attention to her, and she didn't even have basic flattery, but now she is in a coma, and she can't return it. It's not too late, and she has to put on a show, lest the servants say that she doesn't respect her mother-in-law.

"I have already sent someone to report to the old lady."

"I'd better take the old master's post and ask an imperial doctor to come back and have a look. The old lady has been sick for two days and she has not recovered. She passed out today. Don't delay it by some emergency." Mrs. Wang said.

"I'll make arrangements right now." Wang Xifeng got up and was about to go to the big room.

"Jin Chuan, you also follow to see how the eldest lady is doing." Mrs. Wang explained, and ordered someone to send the imperial physician to the house.

Jin Chuan followed Wang Xifeng and his party to Mrs. Xing, and saw that Wang Shanbao's family was scolding the girl for being stupid, that she couldn't even make a basin of water, and it was either hot or cold. Talking too much, stood up from the bed and blessed the body: "Second Mistress, hello."

"How's the eldest lady?" Wang Xifeng took a closer look, and saw Mrs. Xing lying on the bed with a pale face, her eyes closed, and she didn't seem to be waking up.

"I don't know what's going on, my servant. Two days ago, my wife always complained of dizziness and chest tightness. I originally tried to persuade a doctor to take a look at it, but my wife didn't want to take the medicine and said that it would be good to rest. Who would have thought that today I would sit up and suddenly I fainted immediately, and made the slaves jump. It’s been a while, and it’s still the same.” Wang Shanbao’s family faced Wang Xifeng like a rabbit seeing a tiger, and they didn’t dare to show their air.

"Bring a basin of warm water over here." Wang Xifeng withdrew the bracelet from her hand, ready to give her a chance to behave, how could she be mistaken for this, after seeing this battle, would anyone dare to say that she disrespected her mother-in-law.Ping'er took the water basin in person, and Wang Xifeng wet the handkerchief, wrung out the water, and gently wiped Mrs. Xing's forehead.

After wiping his forehead, he sat for a long time before the imperial doctor came late.The old doctor closed his eyes and felt his pulse. His originally relaxed expression became more and more serious. He couldn't help frowning, and even couldn't help shaking his head, as if he didn't believe his own diagnosis.

Wang Xifeng was a little apprehensive by the imperial doctor's pulse signal which obviously exceeded the normal time, as well as the abnormal expression. He didn't really have some serious illness and emergency, right?I couldn't help but asked aloud: "Is there anything wrong with asking the imperial doctor?"

"It's not wrong, it's just that the old lady's symptoms need to be further diagnosed to confirm." The old doctor continued to feel the subtle slippery pulse, and it took a long time before he finally confirmed that the diagnosis was true. , it's not that my old eyes are dim and misread, I can't help feeling that the two wives of Rongguo Mansion are very lucky.

"The old man wants to say congratulations, the eldest lady is very happy."

"Ahem..." Wang Xifeng, who had just taken a sip of tea, choked when she heard this, and Ping'er quickly took the teacup to help her back.

"What did you say?" Wang Xifeng, who finally recovered, reconfirmed that she was not hallucinating just now.

"The eldest lady is happy." The old doctor affirmed again, stroking his beard.

Now Wang Xifeng really didn't know what to say. The iron tree that hadn't bloomed for a thousand years finally bloomed, but why did it sound so awkward? The emotional master didn't dislike the eldest wife as he appeared outside!Otherwise, where did the beads of this old clam bead come from.

Next, Wang Xifeng mechanically asked the old doctor some questions, nothing more than whether there would be any problems with pregnancy at this age.The old doctor's answer Wang Xifeng didn't fully think about it, but it probably meant that she understood, that is, the eldest wife is in good health. Although she is old, the pregnancy is still stable. As long as she takes good care of her, it is not a problem to give birth to a healthy child. of.

After seeing off the old doctor with a look of emotion, Wang Xifeng sat staring at Mrs. Xing's stomach for a while, staring at Mrs. Xing's stomach, which made Wang Shanbao's family feel uneasy. It's not about worrying about having a son to grab the inheritance.No, she must take good care of his wife. The long-cherished wish for many years will finally come true.

Finally, Wang Xifeng stopped being in a daze, and told his servants to take good care of Mrs. Xing, and then ordered someone to report the news to Jiamu, to notify Jia Amnesty, and drifted away sluggishly holding Pinger's hand. People looked at each other in blank dismay.
