Wang Xifeng's Rebirth [Red Mansion]
Chapter 066
Cover it up?
Wang Xifeng bowed her head and smiled wryly, but what Jia Mu said was indeed true, she was not completely innocent in this matter. 》しBut things have reached this point, how easy is it to cover up this matter?After thinking hard for a while, Wang Xifeng raised his head to look at Jiamu who was sitting on the high seat, and said slowly while thinking: "Old Ancestor, the matter is already like this, and it is impossible to pretend that nothing happened. .As the old ancestor said, this matter is not only the fault of Mrs. Zhu, and other people including me are not completely innocent. Since we want to deal with this matter, we should just tear it up and make it clear."
When Wang Xifeng was thinking about it, Jia's mother didn't urge her.In fact, she was also thinking hard about a good strategy.I have to say that it is absolutely impossible for this matter to be covered up easily with a quilt.For the current plan, what can be done is to reduce the impact as much as possible and save most of the people.
Therefore, when Wang Xifeng said the solution, Jia's mother frowned obviously, and said rather displeasedly: "Brother Feng, I asked you to find a way to cover up this matter."
"Yes, but you can also think of it, old ancestor, this matter can no longer be completely covered up." Wang Xifeng stepped forward a few steps and stood side by side with Li Wan and Tanchun, but she never knelt down, she just respectfully respected Mother Jia He bowed respectfully and said, "The left and right things are already like this, why don't the ancestors listen to me?"
"Say it."
"In the whole incident, the fourth younger sister is probably the only one who is truly innocent. In that case, can the fourth younger sister avoid it for a while, I thought, why not let her go to my yard and play with sister Qiao for a while? The things that come down may not be very suitable for her to listen to."
When others thought that she would target Li Wan as soon as she opened her mouth, Wang Xifeng unexpectedly mentioned the truly innocent person first.Although everyone was surprised, they never expressed any objection, especially when Mother Jia realized that Xichun was not from the Rongguo Mansion. As soon as she said... At that moment, Jia's mother said: "Yuanyang, call a safe person to send the fourth girl to Feng Ge'er's yard."
Yuanyang responded, walked up to Xichun, took her hand, and walked out of the main hall.After a while, the mandarin duck came back and whispered a few words in Jia Mu's ear. Jia Mu once again looked at Wang Xifeng and said, "Go on, Brother Feng."
"Yes." Wang Xifeng nodded slightly, and looked sideways at Mrs. Xing and Yingchun, "This incident was actually caused by the eldest wife wanting to record the second younger sister under her name, but no matter whether it is the eldest wife or the second younger sister, They didn't have any malice, and they didn't think that such an unexpected thing would happen later. Therefore, I think the eldest wife and second sister are also innocent people. What does the ancestor think?"
"Of course it is." Mother Jia sighed softly, perhaps because she finally realized the irreversibility of the matter, or because Wang Xifeng's self-confidence comforted her, Mother Jia felt a little more relaxed.In fact, it is not terrible if something happens, even if it has bad consequences, it is better than the fear of the unknown.
"Next, let's talk about the third sister."
Mother Jia was stunned for a while, she thought that according to the words just now, Wang Xifeng would be the next to talk about herself or Jia Zheng, why...
"The third younger sister is not only innocent, she almost died here." Wang Xifeng did not fail to notice the astonishment on Jiamu's face, but she continued on her own, "She didn't intend to be high-ranking, but was instigated. Afterwards, The repentance of the second wife was not what she expected. However, what she did not expect the most was that the second wife gave her the right to choose. I will not say more about what it means here. By the way Maybe the third sister doesn't know about it yet? The Elder Master went to the East Mansion yesterday, and both you and the second younger sister have been recorded on the genealogy, and there is no way to change it."
Tanchun suddenly got up, but because of his exhaustion, he fell to the ground again.After a while, she suddenly turned her head and stared at Li Wan, the hatred in her eyes was almost enough to burn Li Wan through: "Zhu! Da! Sister-in-law! You are very good, really good!"
"As expected." Wang Xifeng sighed, it was really her negligence.
Originally, she only wanted to see Mrs. Wang lose face, but then she learned from Jia Lian that Jia Amnesty had already spread the news that Tanchun was a legitimate daughter.Therefore, she was not very worried about Tanchun.With Mrs. Wang's face-saving personality, not only is it impossible for her to treat her daughter-in-law harshly, she will even have to find a good marriage for Tanchun in the future.A concubine's daughter is rarely a concubine, and Tanchun is changed from a concubine's daughter to a concubine's daughter. If Mrs. Wang has any shame, she can only marry Tanchun to a similar family as his wife.Tanchun may not be able to climb high in the future, but it is not a problem to find a wife of the right family or a slightly inferior family.Moreover, Rongguo Mansion has its own rules for the dowry that a prostitute deserves.
As for whether Mrs. Wang will specifically find a marriage that looks great on the outside but not so good on the inside, it is not certain.And what should I say about this kind of thing?At the beginning, Jia Zhu and Li Wan were talented and beautiful, but in the end Jia Zhu died early and Li Wan was a widow.Didn't even Jia Lian and her end up like that in their previous lives?Another one, is it so easy to inquire about secrets?If Mrs. Wang is just looking for a marriage with all four corners for Tanchun, it will take a lot of effort, but if she really wants to choose a marriage that looks very good and is very bad...she will not die of exhaustion!
In fact, in Wang Xifeng's view, it is enough for her to be capable and to be married.As for the mother's family, it's fine to use the tiger's skin as a banner. If something happens and counts on the mother's family, it can only be wishful thinking.Don't you see that after Jia Min's death, the Rongguo Mansion treated her only flesh and blood harshly?If Tanchun is a concubine's daughter, she will definitely have a better life than when she was a concubine's daughter. As for wanting everything to be perfect, it is faster to dream.
But Wang Xifeng never imagined that Tanchun had no idea what happened afterwards.
"That's right, the third younger sister fainted before she made a choice that day, and then Aunt Zhao followed her to take care of her. You really don't know what happened afterwards." Wang Xifeng sighed, she was only thinking about finding out Chun's heart, as long as she is destined to become a prostitute, she will be able to live a better life, but she never expected that because of those mistakes and Li Wan's deliberate concealment, Tan Chun was completely kept in the dark.
"I've already entered the genealogy, am I the prostitute?" Tanchun listened to Wang Xifeng's words, looked up at her, there was no previous resentment in her tone, only a trace of bewilderment and disbelief, "Second sister-in-law Lian, are you really Did you lie to me?"
"The Elder Master said this." Wang Xifeng would never joke about this kind of thing, but she was not responsible for this matter, and she really couldn't guarantee it.
Jia Amnesty squinted at Tanchun, "If I lie to you, I'll die right away!"
"Nonsense!" Mother Jia was furious immediately, "Did you say that? The third girl just didn't expect this to happen, and she didn't mean to disbelieve you!"
Tanchun shuddered for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I believe, I believe, of course I believe..." Just talking, tears fell down again.If she had known that she was a prostitute yesterday, how could she have made such a fuss today?As long as you stay honest and serve Mrs. Wang respectfully, even though Mrs. Wang would reprimand her, she never beat or scolded her. ?Why bother, what trouble!
"May I continue?" With Jia's mother nodding her head in agreement, Wang Xifeng said again, "As we have seen, although the third sister was at fault, she suffered a lot of injuries after all. In addition, she is only a seven-year-old. A little girl who is [-] years old, even if she makes some small mistakes occasionally, she should be forgiven. I thought, why not stop the third sister, copy the Buddhist scriptures wholeheartedly, and pray for the second wife."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little stunned, especially Tanchun.
Mother Jia glanced at Tanchun, and easily saw the trace of hope in Tanchun's eyes. Her heart softened, and she sighed softly: "It is really important to pray for Wang's blessings, but if this is the case, the third girl still don't care about it." It's better to live here. Brother Feng, where else is there a quiet courtyard in our house?"
Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, and immediately felt overjoyed.At first hearing what Jiamu said, she seemed to be disgusted with Tanchun, but after thinking about it carefully... If Tanchun still lives in the hut behind Rongqing Hall, how can she get peace?Apart from other things, if Mrs. Wang gets better in the future, can't Mrs. Wang be stopped from coming to Rongqing Hall?Not to mention that Rongqingtang used to be a place where people come and go, so there is no need for Mrs. Wang to do it herself, knowing how to send a few people to gossip at the door of the Tanchun room, this day will be impossible.But if, as Jia Mu said, he found a remote and quiet small courtyard, then he could stop everyone in the name of Jia Mu making him ground.
"If we go back to our ancestors, our mansion is so big, there is no shortage of idle courtyards." Wang Xifeng said while thinking about it very quickly, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and said, "By the way, there is a courtyard in the west. The small courtyard is not far from the Lixiangyuan where Mrs. Xue and Sister Bao live. However, that place is more remote, and there is no corner door leading to the outside. I remember that there are only seven or eight rooms in the front and back of the small courtyard. I don't know if it's appropriate?"
"Very good. Brother Feng, let someone clean it up today, and let Sanya move in tomorrow. Remember to set up a Buddhist room, and then let people prepare the four treasures of the study. As for the time of confinement, let's start with a year. We'll see the situation at that time." Mother Jia closed her eyes, her face full of sighs.I hope that what she did would not make Tanchun hate her.
"Yes, old ancestor." Wang Xifeng agreed.
"Ancestor! Thank you, Ancestor. I will be happy for my Ancestor and my wife. Thank you..." Tanchun kowtowed to Mother Jia with tears streaming down her face. Looking at her big eyes full of hope, they bloomed with life again.
Mother Jia took a deep look at Tanchun, and nodded slightly approvingly, maybe she had misunderstood earlier, Tanchun's aptitude was no worse than that of Yuanchun who entered the palace a few years earlier.In the future... Forget it, let's smooth this matter out first.
"The matter of the third sister is over, let's talk about the second wife." Wang Xifeng did not give everyone time to calm down, and said, "The second wife is naturally at fault, let alone the other, just Zhu I am afraid that the second wife should bear some responsibility for the matter of the elder sister-in-law? After all, the elder sister-in-law Zhu is different from me. I have never lived with the eldest wife since I entered the house. Even if I make a mistake, I cannot implicate the elder sister. Mrs."
"According to what you said, if you made a mistake, it should be blamed on Mrs. Wang?" Just as Jia's mother felt a little bit emotional, she was completely dismissed by Wang Xifeng's words, "Mrs. Wang is really wronged. "
"Isn't it? I think that sister-in-law Zhu, me, and Lan'er who was raised in Rongxi Hall as a child, by the way, Aunt Zhao and others are all the responsibility of the second wife." Although Wang Xifeng never It is said that Mrs. Wang is not strict in discipline, but that is what she said, "However, the second wife has fallen ill now, even if the ancestors are harsh, please postpone it. Otherwise, my third sister and I are willing to help The second wife bears all the punishments. Third sister, do you think so?" The last sentence was addressed to Tanchun.
Tanchun nodded heavily: "I am willing to forgive my mother, if my ancestors changed my one-year confinement period to three years. After three years, there is no need to let me out immediately, as long as I look at my sincerity. To decide otherwise."
Jia's mother looked at Tanchun more and more inquisitively, but she didn't think about asking questions immediately, she just wanted to go to the west courtyard again when things cooled down, anyway, even if the feet were grounded, there would be no one Dare to stop her.At that moment, the corners of Jia Mu's mouth rose slightly, and she said with a light smile, "Okay, the old ancestor is very happy that you are so filial, so let's do as you said."
"What about me? What does the ancestor want me to do?"
"You don't have to do anything, even if you are at fault, as long as you can completely cover up this matter, I will absolve you of all guilt." Mother Jia waved her hand very generously, but the corner of her eyes slightly glanced at Jia She, The second son of Jia Zheng.Can't help thinking in his heart, Wang Xifeng has never mentioned the two of them so far, is it because he thinks that they are more guilty, or does he not plan to hold them accountable at all?
"The second wife's matter is over. My ancestors decided to avoid it. The only one left is Sister-in-Law Zhu." Wang Xifeng's words not only made everyone's eyes fall on Li Wan On the body, Jia's mother was even more relieved, thinking that Wang Xifeng really did not intend to pursue Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng's responsibilities from the beginning to the end.
But I heard Wang Xifeng say again: "Sister-in-law Zhu made three main mistakes: first, causing trouble out of nothing and instigating others. Second, she concealed the truth with the intention of harming others. Third, she contradicted her mother-in-law, causing her to become seriously ill. And so on. I don't know how things will turn out with just one sentence... Sister-in-law Zhu, do you think it makes sense?"
Li Wan bit her lip tightly, although she was not as shrewd as Wang Xifeng and others, she was not a stupid person after all, aside from other things, the previous situation should be understood.I didn't see other people choose to accept the many crimes and punishments. Even if Mrs. Wang was not here, Jia Zheng never defended.If she chose to defend herself, she might have already fallen to the bottom as soon as she opened her mouth.
Most importantly, what Wang Xifeng said was not obviously wrong!
"Let's talk about it one by one. The first one comes from sister-in-law Zhu's inexplicable hostility towards me. Of course, that bit of hostility is nothing at all, and I will never take it to heart. Unfortunately, Zhu Although the eldest sister-in-law is a person who provokes troubles, she is also a person who holds grudges. In this matter, I was not harmed, so I skipped it, but because of some conflicts between us, I blamed my anger on the third sister At the same time, it also ruined the second wife's important affairs." Wang Xifeng carefully scrutinized the expression on Li Wan's face as she spoke, and saw that although her face was ashen, there was a trace of resentment in her eyes, and a burst of sarcasm flashed in her heart.
This person will never learn to find mistakes from himself, but habitually blames all mistakes on others.Thinking about the previous life, the Rongguo Mansion was ransacked, but because of Li Wan's status as a widow's grandmother, the court finally not only pardoned her crimes, but also returned her dowry, body and belongings, and at the same time pardoned Jia Lan's crimes. The two returned to their ancestral home Jinling with a lot of money to live in style.At that time, did Li Wan ever think that her relatives were still alive or dead?Even if she is unable to rescue the convicted person, what about Sister Qiao?What about Baoyu?What about Xichun?Ever thought about pulling it out a little?
"Since the second wife, me, and third sister are involved in this incident, then sister-in-law Zhu will give us a few sincere apologies. Third sister and I only need to apologize verbally, and second wife, please ask sister-in-law Zhu to apologize." After she wakes up, how about kneeling in front of her until she asks for her forgiveness?"
Li Wan raised his head abruptly, his face full of unconcealable astonishment.
Jia Mu said, "Do as Brother Feng says!"
As soon as these words came out, no matter how shocked or unwilling Li Wan was, he could only obey them honestly.Bowed her head to Wang Xifeng and Tanchun in turn to admit her mistake, although it was only verbal, but that kind of humiliation was enough to drive her crazy.However, except for Li Wan himself, everyone thought that this punishment was enough for her, and no one could understand the humiliation in her heart.
Wang Xifeng said again: "The second thing is to conceal the truth and intend to murder the third sister. Of course, it is a fact that the third sister is safe and sound, so sister-in-law Zhu only intended to murder but failed. I think it will kill people. , Apology is definitely not enough? If it were me, I would ask sister-in-law Zhu to pay me a lot of headgear, gold, silver and jewelry, what do you think, sister-in-law?"
Li Wan was shocked again, was he planning to ask her to pay a sum of money?No, listening to Wang Xifeng's tone, I'm afraid it's not just a sum of money?I'm afraid I can't get it without ten or twenty thousand.
"As for the amount..." Wang Xifeng stopped talking suddenly, and only looked at Jia Mu, "Old Ancestor, how much should you pay? I think we are all a family, and we don't have to talk about money to hurt our feelings. There are more jewelry decorations and the like, which are both elegant and affordable."
"Okay, leave this matter to me. Later, I'll send the mandarin ducks to the west courtyard directly." Jia Mu said suddenly.
"Hey, hearing what the old ancestor said, I'm so worried... Sister-in-law Zhu, why didn't you cheat on me? Otherwise, how could such a good thing fall on Sanmei's head!" Wang Xifeng looked at the people in the main hall. The atmosphere became more and more dignified, and he interrupted with a busy smile.
"Nonsense!" Mother Jia said angrily, "Hurry up and say the last thing, I see that Brother Feng, what you said is very appropriate."
Li Wan's complexion changed drastically immediately, and his hands clenched in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.This stall praised Wang Xifeng for doing things properly, wouldn't it make her last crime come true?Thinking about it, no matter what Wang Xifeng did to her, she could only accept it with tears.
"Old ancestor, forgive me for not being able to handle the last matter." No one would have thought that Wang Xifeng would say this suddenly.Seeing everyone looked over in puzzlement, Wang Xifeng could only helplessly spread his hands and explained, "It's fine to contradict my mother-in-law, but it made the second wife seriously ill... Now she is seriously ill, but what about after that? If she recovers, then of course It's okay, if it's a big deal, let the second wife spend some time in disciplining her daughter-in-law. But if... I can't give advice on this matter. "
Yes, it is recommended.
From the beginning to the end, Wang Xifeng said that it was a suggestion, but because the previous handling was quite appropriate, it made people mistakenly think that everything was handled by Wang Xifeng.In fact, it is not the case. Although Wang Xifeng gave suggestions, Jia's mother can choose to adopt or not to adopt them. For example, Jia's mother put forward different opinions on Tanchun.
But the matter of Li Wan...
"Old lady, I really know I was wrong." Li Wan finally came to his senses. At first he just wanted to embarrass Wang Xifeng, then he made Mrs. Wang ashamed, and then he forced Tanchun to death in order to cover up his wrong intentions. In order to get rid of the crime, he did not hesitate to quarrel with Tanchun in front of Mrs. Wang.She was really wrong, but the first things can be smoothed out, the last one...
"Did you know it? Hmph, then you can go to Mrs. Wang's side and serve her personally. As long as she gets better, the past will not be mentioned. At least my old lady will not settle accounts after the fall." Mother Jia said this very frankly, But the problem is, if Mrs. Wang recovers, is there still no one to take care of Li Wan?
Li Wan understood, but he was helpless.
Then I heard Jia's mother say, "Brother Feng, you talk about other people, but you never talk about me, my old woman."
"Hey, look at what the old ancestor said. You are the old ancestor of our Rongguo Mansion, and you are a famous old god in Beijing. Have you ever heard that gods can make mistakes? You definitely can't, even if it happens to the people below. It's their fault for making trouble, old ancestor, you have been troubled for the past two days."
Wang Xifeng's words may sound very hypocritical to the ears of others, but Jia's mother laughed more and more heartily, and said straightly: "It's better for Feng girl, Feng girl understands me best. Turn around, you people should stay away from me. , I just want Feng girl to talk with me in front of me to relieve my boredom!"
The two brothers Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng looked at each other, then knelt down and echoed Jia Mu's words.He also heard Jia She suddenly say: "Although what Lian's daughter-in-law said just now is correct, she missed me. Mother, I was also at fault. Later, I will ask Mrs. Xing to bring some high-quality medicinal materials and treat them as It's an apology to my second brother."
"Thank you, brother." Jia Zheng squeezed the words out between his teeth. The matter had come to this. Whether he refused or accepted it, he was at a loss.Instead of quarreling with Jia Amnesty again, he hoped to clear up the matter earlier so that he could get out as soon as possible.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was really bad, Mother Jia didn't force her to stay.Only Wang Xifeng stayed behind to arrange the affairs of the small courtyard in the west, while Tanchun went back to the Baosha to recuperate from his illness and injuries, and the rest of them left one after another.
The matter of tidying up the courtyard is actually very simple. Although it is a courtyard that has been idle for a long time, in fact, the so-called idleness is just that there is no master. There is no shortage of rough envoys and maids in the courtyard, so it is not difficult to tidy up.Tanchun himself also has a nanny and a big maid to take care of him, so it is easy to pack his luggage.Wang Xifeng assigned four other second-class maids to her, but they were directed to go to the courtyard on the west side. After all, rough maids are no match for second-class maids, so they should be tidied up carefully so that they can move in tomorrow.The most troublesome thing is probably the Buddha room. There are all the cabinet Buddha cases ready-made, but this Buddha statue...
"Old Ancestor, I don't know if tomorrow will be a good day, but the Buddha statues have to be specially invited on a special day. You see, after the third sister moves over, first copy the Buddhist scriptures, and then let the Buddha statues come over, and then let the Buddha statues come. She worships Buddha?"
Mother Jia worked hard for several days, and she didn't want to deal with these nonsense anymore. Hearing what Wang Xifeng said was reasonable, she just waved her hand and let her take care of it.
After everything was taken care of, Wang Xifeng went to the Baosha to take a look at Tanchun, but never thought that Aunt Zhao was still in her room.At the same time, Wang Xifeng saw that Tanchun secretly made a pleading look to herself, and suddenly smiled wryly in her heart, maybe Li Wan concealed the truth about Tanchun, and Tanchun also concealed the truth about Aunt Zhao?Thinking that Tanchun would go to the west courtyard tomorrow, Wang Xifeng only sighed, and ordered someone to invite another doctor to come over, at least to show Tanchun the wound on his forehead.
Saying goodbye to Tanchun, Wang Xifeng went to Rongxi Hall together with Zicuckoo who had been waiting outside for a long time.Unexpectedly, before the two master and servant walked out of the Chuihua Gate, they heard a quarrel, but it was Jia She and Jia Zheng.
"...Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you? Do you dare to say that you didn't know from the beginning to the end? Do you dare to say that you have no other thoughts? You, you, you, you are too much!" It was Jia Zheng who was so angry that he almost stuttered. the sound of.
"How do I have anything to do with you? Hehe, yes, you are right. I just wanted to embarrass you, so I specifically agreed to change Yingchun into a prostitute. Otherwise, do you think I am full? But your daughter-in-law I really didn't expect my son to come up with such a thing as acting with Tanchun. But so what? Let's make a fake show, Tanchun doesn't have this ability, I have it! As an uncle, how can I not reach out Pull her? Now, look at how great it is, Tanchun is also a daughter-in-law, but your daughter-in-law is so angry that she vomits blood and becomes seriously ill. Tsk tsk, but your daughter-in-law is really a character, much better than my daughter-in-law , at least my daughter-in-law doesn't have the guts to contradict her mother-in-law, let alone drive her to death!"
"You are talking nonsense! Mrs. Wang is not dead yet!"
"It's coming soon, don't worry, it's probably only two days, after all, people are doing what they are doing, and the sky is watching. I should be watching your wife, who will let her do all the bad things. But you... Cough cough, of course, second brother, you are an upright gentleman, but an honest gentleman has to watch his wife’s funeral! Second brother, you are such an upright person, at least you have to guard it for 50 to [-] years? Or learn from our brother-in-law and swear not to marry for life , that is the true gentleman!"
"Shut up! Why should I swear not to marry for the rest of my life? No, she is not dead yet, Mrs. Wang!" Compared with Jia Amnesty's calmness, Jia Zheng almost jumped in anger. You can do anything wrong, if Mrs. Wang is really dead..."
"That's because your daughter and daughter-in-law were all mad at you!" Jia She was not afraid of him, and said the words that angered people would not pay for their lives, "You can't rely on me for this, I didn't go Passed by your place. Besides, when Mrs. Zhang passed away, it was obviously because of Hu’er’s early death and depression. You insisted that it was because I doted on my concubine and killed my wife and forced people to death. Fart! When did I spoil my concubine? Killed his wife? I don’t have a single concubine in my house!”
Jia Zheng's complexion changed drastically, as if he never thought that Jia She would suddenly bring up such a long-term matter, and it was still in front of everyone.Even if Jia Mu is not here at this time, Mrs. Xing, Yingchun, and many maids are all watching, let alone they are standing outside Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu will know what happened sooner or later!
"Brother, are you drinking again today? I still have business to do, and we two brothers will get together again some day."
"Hmph, guilty? Lost confidence? Let me tell you another word. It's not that the time has not come! As long as you and Wang's virtues, you will be punished sooner or later! By the way, if Wang's death, you don't need to take the shit out of it. Pin it on me, I will definitely expose everything! Hahaha, the widow grandma who came from the scholarly family of the second room murdered her mother-in-law! Hahahahaha..." Jia She laughed wildly and walked away, while Mrs. Xing beside her Not daring to say a word, he quickly pulled Yingchun up and chased after her, the maids and women even lowered their heads and hurried away, and after a while, everyone in the big house left completely.
Except for Wang Xifeng's master and servant who were hiding by the hanging flower gate, and Jia Zheng who had previously clamored that he had business to do.However, after Jia Amnesty and others walked away, Jia Zheng also shook his sleeves and left.
"Second Grandma Lian." Seeing everyone walking away, Zijuan looked at Wang Xifeng with some trepidation.
Wang Xifeng looked suspiciously at the direction where everyone disappeared, pondered for a moment, and said to himself: "They are going in the same direction."
"Grandma, what did you say?"
"I mean, the Eldest Master and the others are walking in the direction of leaving the mansion, probably going back to the East Courtyard. The Second Master is also going that way. Does this mean that they plan to go to the Rongxi Hall?" Wang Xifeng thought about it carefully, and she was sure When Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng came back together, he had just come out of Rongxi Hall.That is to say, Jia Amnesty brought Jia Zheng back with the excuse that Mrs. Wang was seriously ill.But Jia Zheng had no intention of going to Rongxi Hall to take a look at Mrs. Wang who was in danger, which was quite cold-hearted.
Zicuckoo didn't dare to respond anymore, but just lowered her head and huddled herself into a ball as much as possible, so as to reduce the sense of existence.Fortunately, Wang Xifeng only had a little general feeling, and then turned to Rongxi Hall, which made Zijuan heave a sigh of relief.
The Rongxi Hall looked much more orderly than before. Seeing Wang Xifeng coming, a little maid immediately notified Ping'er.Soon, Ping'er came to Wang Xifeng, and briefly talked about Mrs. Wang's situation.
As the imperial physician said, Mrs. Wang's condition is not very good, but it is not so serious that she will die at any time.Generally speaking, it is an extremely stable dangerous period.If he has been taking good care of him like this, his condition will naturally improve gradually.But on the other hand, once the condition worsens, I'm afraid it's time to prepare for the funeral.Today, Mrs. Wang's condition is still stable, neither getting better nor getting worse.
"Grandma, I took a closer look. The maids in front of the second wife are all good, and they all serve them with all their heart, without any intention of neglecting them. There are also maids who took the prescription left by the imperial physician and took the medicine. It was ready a while ago, and I fed the second wife to drink it. However, the second wife is still awake, and the medicine can be fed, but it is better to spit it out than to drink it. Fortunately, there is no shortage of medicinal materials in the house. He ordered someone to boil two servings again, and it is estimated that there should be about one serving." Ping'er paused, and then added, "Just now, Grandma Zhu also came over, and now she is serving in front of the second wife. disease."
"Well, I see, Ping'er, you go back. By the way, the fourth sister is also with us. I was so busy and confused just now that I forgot to remind the eldest lady to go to my place to fetch someone." I really forgot at first, Later, in front of the Chuihua Gate, Wang Xifeng remembered it, but seeing Jia She and Jia Zheng arguing like that, she really didn't have the guts to remind her.Simply because it is still early, there is no rush.At worst, let Mrs. Xing take him back when I greet you in the evening.
Ping'er responded, stepped back and returned to the yard without mentioning it.
After Ping'er left, Wang Xifeng stood there, stunned for a long time.She was not worried about Mrs. Wang, and she was not worried about the wrong person to serve her at all. I am afraid that Li Wan and Mrs. Wang's personal maids are the ones who look forward to the best of Mrs. Wang in this world.
She was thinking of something else.
Just now, what Jia Amnesty said to Jia Zheng seemed to be full of weirdness inside and out. But Jia Amnesty disdained lying the most, not because he praised his character, but because he was compared to Jia Zheng. That hypocrite, Jia Amnesty is a villain through and through.And in the situation at that time, Jia Amnesty was unlikely to be talking nonsense, so the only possibility was that he spoke his mind out of anger.
Mrs. Zhang's death back then, brother Hu's premature death, and the so-called doting concubine killing his wife...
Faintly, Wang Xifeng felt that she touched some corners, but it was impossible for her to sort it out in a short while.However, there was another layer of meaning in what Jia She said. It seemed that he was certain that Mrs. Wang would die.But why is this so?Ordinarily, even if the imperial physician did not dare to promise to save Mrs. Wang, there is at least a [-]% chance of it, right?why...
Wang Xifeng bowed her head and smiled wryly, but what Jia Mu said was indeed true, she was not completely innocent in this matter. 》しBut things have reached this point, how easy is it to cover up this matter?After thinking hard for a while, Wang Xifeng raised his head to look at Jiamu who was sitting on the high seat, and said slowly while thinking: "Old Ancestor, the matter is already like this, and it is impossible to pretend that nothing happened. .As the old ancestor said, this matter is not only the fault of Mrs. Zhu, and other people including me are not completely innocent. Since we want to deal with this matter, we should just tear it up and make it clear."
When Wang Xifeng was thinking about it, Jia's mother didn't urge her.In fact, she was also thinking hard about a good strategy.I have to say that it is absolutely impossible for this matter to be covered up easily with a quilt.For the current plan, what can be done is to reduce the impact as much as possible and save most of the people.
Therefore, when Wang Xifeng said the solution, Jia's mother frowned obviously, and said rather displeasedly: "Brother Feng, I asked you to find a way to cover up this matter."
"Yes, but you can also think of it, old ancestor, this matter can no longer be completely covered up." Wang Xifeng stepped forward a few steps and stood side by side with Li Wan and Tanchun, but she never knelt down, she just respectfully respected Mother Jia He bowed respectfully and said, "The left and right things are already like this, why don't the ancestors listen to me?"
"Say it."
"In the whole incident, the fourth younger sister is probably the only one who is truly innocent. In that case, can the fourth younger sister avoid it for a while, I thought, why not let her go to my yard and play with sister Qiao for a while? The things that come down may not be very suitable for her to listen to."
When others thought that she would target Li Wan as soon as she opened her mouth, Wang Xifeng unexpectedly mentioned the truly innocent person first.Although everyone was surprised, they never expressed any objection, especially when Mother Jia realized that Xichun was not from the Rongguo Mansion. As soon as she said... At that moment, Jia's mother said: "Yuanyang, call a safe person to send the fourth girl to Feng Ge'er's yard."
Yuanyang responded, walked up to Xichun, took her hand, and walked out of the main hall.After a while, the mandarin duck came back and whispered a few words in Jia Mu's ear. Jia Mu once again looked at Wang Xifeng and said, "Go on, Brother Feng."
"Yes." Wang Xifeng nodded slightly, and looked sideways at Mrs. Xing and Yingchun, "This incident was actually caused by the eldest wife wanting to record the second younger sister under her name, but no matter whether it is the eldest wife or the second younger sister, They didn't have any malice, and they didn't think that such an unexpected thing would happen later. Therefore, I think the eldest wife and second sister are also innocent people. What does the ancestor think?"
"Of course it is." Mother Jia sighed softly, perhaps because she finally realized the irreversibility of the matter, or because Wang Xifeng's self-confidence comforted her, Mother Jia felt a little more relaxed.In fact, it is not terrible if something happens, even if it has bad consequences, it is better than the fear of the unknown.
"Next, let's talk about the third sister."
Mother Jia was stunned for a while, she thought that according to the words just now, Wang Xifeng would be the next to talk about herself or Jia Zheng, why...
"The third younger sister is not only innocent, she almost died here." Wang Xifeng did not fail to notice the astonishment on Jiamu's face, but she continued on her own, "She didn't intend to be high-ranking, but was instigated. Afterwards, The repentance of the second wife was not what she expected. However, what she did not expect the most was that the second wife gave her the right to choose. I will not say more about what it means here. By the way Maybe the third sister doesn't know about it yet? The Elder Master went to the East Mansion yesterday, and both you and the second younger sister have been recorded on the genealogy, and there is no way to change it."
Tanchun suddenly got up, but because of his exhaustion, he fell to the ground again.After a while, she suddenly turned her head and stared at Li Wan, the hatred in her eyes was almost enough to burn Li Wan through: "Zhu! Da! Sister-in-law! You are very good, really good!"
"As expected." Wang Xifeng sighed, it was really her negligence.
Originally, she only wanted to see Mrs. Wang lose face, but then she learned from Jia Lian that Jia Amnesty had already spread the news that Tanchun was a legitimate daughter.Therefore, she was not very worried about Tanchun.With Mrs. Wang's face-saving personality, not only is it impossible for her to treat her daughter-in-law harshly, she will even have to find a good marriage for Tanchun in the future.A concubine's daughter is rarely a concubine, and Tanchun is changed from a concubine's daughter to a concubine's daughter. If Mrs. Wang has any shame, she can only marry Tanchun to a similar family as his wife.Tanchun may not be able to climb high in the future, but it is not a problem to find a wife of the right family or a slightly inferior family.Moreover, Rongguo Mansion has its own rules for the dowry that a prostitute deserves.
As for whether Mrs. Wang will specifically find a marriage that looks great on the outside but not so good on the inside, it is not certain.And what should I say about this kind of thing?At the beginning, Jia Zhu and Li Wan were talented and beautiful, but in the end Jia Zhu died early and Li Wan was a widow.Didn't even Jia Lian and her end up like that in their previous lives?Another one, is it so easy to inquire about secrets?If Mrs. Wang is just looking for a marriage with all four corners for Tanchun, it will take a lot of effort, but if she really wants to choose a marriage that looks very good and is very bad...she will not die of exhaustion!
In fact, in Wang Xifeng's view, it is enough for her to be capable and to be married.As for the mother's family, it's fine to use the tiger's skin as a banner. If something happens and counts on the mother's family, it can only be wishful thinking.Don't you see that after Jia Min's death, the Rongguo Mansion treated her only flesh and blood harshly?If Tanchun is a concubine's daughter, she will definitely have a better life than when she was a concubine's daughter. As for wanting everything to be perfect, it is faster to dream.
But Wang Xifeng never imagined that Tanchun had no idea what happened afterwards.
"That's right, the third younger sister fainted before she made a choice that day, and then Aunt Zhao followed her to take care of her. You really don't know what happened afterwards." Wang Xifeng sighed, she was only thinking about finding out Chun's heart, as long as she is destined to become a prostitute, she will be able to live a better life, but she never expected that because of those mistakes and Li Wan's deliberate concealment, Tan Chun was completely kept in the dark.
"I've already entered the genealogy, am I the prostitute?" Tanchun listened to Wang Xifeng's words, looked up at her, there was no previous resentment in her tone, only a trace of bewilderment and disbelief, "Second sister-in-law Lian, are you really Did you lie to me?"
"The Elder Master said this." Wang Xifeng would never joke about this kind of thing, but she was not responsible for this matter, and she really couldn't guarantee it.
Jia Amnesty squinted at Tanchun, "If I lie to you, I'll die right away!"
"Nonsense!" Mother Jia was furious immediately, "Did you say that? The third girl just didn't expect this to happen, and she didn't mean to disbelieve you!"
Tanchun shuddered for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I believe, I believe, of course I believe..." Just talking, tears fell down again.If she had known that she was a prostitute yesterday, how could she have made such a fuss today?As long as you stay honest and serve Mrs. Wang respectfully, even though Mrs. Wang would reprimand her, she never beat or scolded her. ?Why bother, what trouble!
"May I continue?" With Jia's mother nodding her head in agreement, Wang Xifeng said again, "As we have seen, although the third sister was at fault, she suffered a lot of injuries after all. In addition, she is only a seven-year-old. A little girl who is [-] years old, even if she makes some small mistakes occasionally, she should be forgiven. I thought, why not stop the third sister, copy the Buddhist scriptures wholeheartedly, and pray for the second wife."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little stunned, especially Tanchun.
Mother Jia glanced at Tanchun, and easily saw the trace of hope in Tanchun's eyes. Her heart softened, and she sighed softly: "It is really important to pray for Wang's blessings, but if this is the case, the third girl still don't care about it." It's better to live here. Brother Feng, where else is there a quiet courtyard in our house?"
Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, and immediately felt overjoyed.At first hearing what Jiamu said, she seemed to be disgusted with Tanchun, but after thinking about it carefully... If Tanchun still lives in the hut behind Rongqing Hall, how can she get peace?Apart from other things, if Mrs. Wang gets better in the future, can't Mrs. Wang be stopped from coming to Rongqing Hall?Not to mention that Rongqingtang used to be a place where people come and go, so there is no need for Mrs. Wang to do it herself, knowing how to send a few people to gossip at the door of the Tanchun room, this day will be impossible.But if, as Jia Mu said, he found a remote and quiet small courtyard, then he could stop everyone in the name of Jia Mu making him ground.
"If we go back to our ancestors, our mansion is so big, there is no shortage of idle courtyards." Wang Xifeng said while thinking about it very quickly, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and said, "By the way, there is a courtyard in the west. The small courtyard is not far from the Lixiangyuan where Mrs. Xue and Sister Bao live. However, that place is more remote, and there is no corner door leading to the outside. I remember that there are only seven or eight rooms in the front and back of the small courtyard. I don't know if it's appropriate?"
"Very good. Brother Feng, let someone clean it up today, and let Sanya move in tomorrow. Remember to set up a Buddhist room, and then let people prepare the four treasures of the study. As for the time of confinement, let's start with a year. We'll see the situation at that time." Mother Jia closed her eyes, her face full of sighs.I hope that what she did would not make Tanchun hate her.
"Yes, old ancestor." Wang Xifeng agreed.
"Ancestor! Thank you, Ancestor. I will be happy for my Ancestor and my wife. Thank you..." Tanchun kowtowed to Mother Jia with tears streaming down her face. Looking at her big eyes full of hope, they bloomed with life again.
Mother Jia took a deep look at Tanchun, and nodded slightly approvingly, maybe she had misunderstood earlier, Tanchun's aptitude was no worse than that of Yuanchun who entered the palace a few years earlier.In the future... Forget it, let's smooth this matter out first.
"The matter of the third sister is over, let's talk about the second wife." Wang Xifeng did not give everyone time to calm down, and said, "The second wife is naturally at fault, let alone the other, just Zhu I am afraid that the second wife should bear some responsibility for the matter of the elder sister-in-law? After all, the elder sister-in-law Zhu is different from me. I have never lived with the eldest wife since I entered the house. Even if I make a mistake, I cannot implicate the elder sister. Mrs."
"According to what you said, if you made a mistake, it should be blamed on Mrs. Wang?" Just as Jia's mother felt a little bit emotional, she was completely dismissed by Wang Xifeng's words, "Mrs. Wang is really wronged. "
"Isn't it? I think that sister-in-law Zhu, me, and Lan'er who was raised in Rongxi Hall as a child, by the way, Aunt Zhao and others are all the responsibility of the second wife." Although Wang Xifeng never It is said that Mrs. Wang is not strict in discipline, but that is what she said, "However, the second wife has fallen ill now, even if the ancestors are harsh, please postpone it. Otherwise, my third sister and I are willing to help The second wife bears all the punishments. Third sister, do you think so?" The last sentence was addressed to Tanchun.
Tanchun nodded heavily: "I am willing to forgive my mother, if my ancestors changed my one-year confinement period to three years. After three years, there is no need to let me out immediately, as long as I look at my sincerity. To decide otherwise."
Jia's mother looked at Tanchun more and more inquisitively, but she didn't think about asking questions immediately, she just wanted to go to the west courtyard again when things cooled down, anyway, even if the feet were grounded, there would be no one Dare to stop her.At that moment, the corners of Jia Mu's mouth rose slightly, and she said with a light smile, "Okay, the old ancestor is very happy that you are so filial, so let's do as you said."
"What about me? What does the ancestor want me to do?"
"You don't have to do anything, even if you are at fault, as long as you can completely cover up this matter, I will absolve you of all guilt." Mother Jia waved her hand very generously, but the corner of her eyes slightly glanced at Jia She, The second son of Jia Zheng.Can't help thinking in his heart, Wang Xifeng has never mentioned the two of them so far, is it because he thinks that they are more guilty, or does he not plan to hold them accountable at all?
"The second wife's matter is over. My ancestors decided to avoid it. The only one left is Sister-in-Law Zhu." Wang Xifeng's words not only made everyone's eyes fall on Li Wan On the body, Jia's mother was even more relieved, thinking that Wang Xifeng really did not intend to pursue Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng's responsibilities from the beginning to the end.
But I heard Wang Xifeng say again: "Sister-in-law Zhu made three main mistakes: first, causing trouble out of nothing and instigating others. Second, she concealed the truth with the intention of harming others. Third, she contradicted her mother-in-law, causing her to become seriously ill. And so on. I don't know how things will turn out with just one sentence... Sister-in-law Zhu, do you think it makes sense?"
Li Wan bit her lip tightly, although she was not as shrewd as Wang Xifeng and others, she was not a stupid person after all, aside from other things, the previous situation should be understood.I didn't see other people choose to accept the many crimes and punishments. Even if Mrs. Wang was not here, Jia Zheng never defended.If she chose to defend herself, she might have already fallen to the bottom as soon as she opened her mouth.
Most importantly, what Wang Xifeng said was not obviously wrong!
"Let's talk about it one by one. The first one comes from sister-in-law Zhu's inexplicable hostility towards me. Of course, that bit of hostility is nothing at all, and I will never take it to heart. Unfortunately, Zhu Although the eldest sister-in-law is a person who provokes troubles, she is also a person who holds grudges. In this matter, I was not harmed, so I skipped it, but because of some conflicts between us, I blamed my anger on the third sister At the same time, it also ruined the second wife's important affairs." Wang Xifeng carefully scrutinized the expression on Li Wan's face as she spoke, and saw that although her face was ashen, there was a trace of resentment in her eyes, and a burst of sarcasm flashed in her heart.
This person will never learn to find mistakes from himself, but habitually blames all mistakes on others.Thinking about the previous life, the Rongguo Mansion was ransacked, but because of Li Wan's status as a widow's grandmother, the court finally not only pardoned her crimes, but also returned her dowry, body and belongings, and at the same time pardoned Jia Lan's crimes. The two returned to their ancestral home Jinling with a lot of money to live in style.At that time, did Li Wan ever think that her relatives were still alive or dead?Even if she is unable to rescue the convicted person, what about Sister Qiao?What about Baoyu?What about Xichun?Ever thought about pulling it out a little?
"Since the second wife, me, and third sister are involved in this incident, then sister-in-law Zhu will give us a few sincere apologies. Third sister and I only need to apologize verbally, and second wife, please ask sister-in-law Zhu to apologize." After she wakes up, how about kneeling in front of her until she asks for her forgiveness?"
Li Wan raised his head abruptly, his face full of unconcealable astonishment.
Jia Mu said, "Do as Brother Feng says!"
As soon as these words came out, no matter how shocked or unwilling Li Wan was, he could only obey them honestly.Bowed her head to Wang Xifeng and Tanchun in turn to admit her mistake, although it was only verbal, but that kind of humiliation was enough to drive her crazy.However, except for Li Wan himself, everyone thought that this punishment was enough for her, and no one could understand the humiliation in her heart.
Wang Xifeng said again: "The second thing is to conceal the truth and intend to murder the third sister. Of course, it is a fact that the third sister is safe and sound, so sister-in-law Zhu only intended to murder but failed. I think it will kill people. , Apology is definitely not enough? If it were me, I would ask sister-in-law Zhu to pay me a lot of headgear, gold, silver and jewelry, what do you think, sister-in-law?"
Li Wan was shocked again, was he planning to ask her to pay a sum of money?No, listening to Wang Xifeng's tone, I'm afraid it's not just a sum of money?I'm afraid I can't get it without ten or twenty thousand.
"As for the amount..." Wang Xifeng stopped talking suddenly, and only looked at Jia Mu, "Old Ancestor, how much should you pay? I think we are all a family, and we don't have to talk about money to hurt our feelings. There are more jewelry decorations and the like, which are both elegant and affordable."
"Okay, leave this matter to me. Later, I'll send the mandarin ducks to the west courtyard directly." Jia Mu said suddenly.
"Hey, hearing what the old ancestor said, I'm so worried... Sister-in-law Zhu, why didn't you cheat on me? Otherwise, how could such a good thing fall on Sanmei's head!" Wang Xifeng looked at the people in the main hall. The atmosphere became more and more dignified, and he interrupted with a busy smile.
"Nonsense!" Mother Jia said angrily, "Hurry up and say the last thing, I see that Brother Feng, what you said is very appropriate."
Li Wan's complexion changed drastically immediately, and his hands clenched in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.This stall praised Wang Xifeng for doing things properly, wouldn't it make her last crime come true?Thinking about it, no matter what Wang Xifeng did to her, she could only accept it with tears.
"Old ancestor, forgive me for not being able to handle the last matter." No one would have thought that Wang Xifeng would say this suddenly.Seeing everyone looked over in puzzlement, Wang Xifeng could only helplessly spread his hands and explained, "It's fine to contradict my mother-in-law, but it made the second wife seriously ill... Now she is seriously ill, but what about after that? If she recovers, then of course It's okay, if it's a big deal, let the second wife spend some time in disciplining her daughter-in-law. But if... I can't give advice on this matter. "
Yes, it is recommended.
From the beginning to the end, Wang Xifeng said that it was a suggestion, but because the previous handling was quite appropriate, it made people mistakenly think that everything was handled by Wang Xifeng.In fact, it is not the case. Although Wang Xifeng gave suggestions, Jia's mother can choose to adopt or not to adopt them. For example, Jia's mother put forward different opinions on Tanchun.
But the matter of Li Wan...
"Old lady, I really know I was wrong." Li Wan finally came to his senses. At first he just wanted to embarrass Wang Xifeng, then he made Mrs. Wang ashamed, and then he forced Tanchun to death in order to cover up his wrong intentions. In order to get rid of the crime, he did not hesitate to quarrel with Tanchun in front of Mrs. Wang.She was really wrong, but the first things can be smoothed out, the last one...
"Did you know it? Hmph, then you can go to Mrs. Wang's side and serve her personally. As long as she gets better, the past will not be mentioned. At least my old lady will not settle accounts after the fall." Mother Jia said this very frankly, But the problem is, if Mrs. Wang recovers, is there still no one to take care of Li Wan?
Li Wan understood, but he was helpless.
Then I heard Jia's mother say, "Brother Feng, you talk about other people, but you never talk about me, my old woman."
"Hey, look at what the old ancestor said. You are the old ancestor of our Rongguo Mansion, and you are a famous old god in Beijing. Have you ever heard that gods can make mistakes? You definitely can't, even if it happens to the people below. It's their fault for making trouble, old ancestor, you have been troubled for the past two days."
Wang Xifeng's words may sound very hypocritical to the ears of others, but Jia's mother laughed more and more heartily, and said straightly: "It's better for Feng girl, Feng girl understands me best. Turn around, you people should stay away from me. , I just want Feng girl to talk with me in front of me to relieve my boredom!"
The two brothers Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng looked at each other, then knelt down and echoed Jia Mu's words.He also heard Jia She suddenly say: "Although what Lian's daughter-in-law said just now is correct, she missed me. Mother, I was also at fault. Later, I will ask Mrs. Xing to bring some high-quality medicinal materials and treat them as It's an apology to my second brother."
"Thank you, brother." Jia Zheng squeezed the words out between his teeth. The matter had come to this. Whether he refused or accepted it, he was at a loss.Instead of quarreling with Jia Amnesty again, he hoped to clear up the matter earlier so that he could get out as soon as possible.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was really bad, Mother Jia didn't force her to stay.Only Wang Xifeng stayed behind to arrange the affairs of the small courtyard in the west, while Tanchun went back to the Baosha to recuperate from his illness and injuries, and the rest of them left one after another.
The matter of tidying up the courtyard is actually very simple. Although it is a courtyard that has been idle for a long time, in fact, the so-called idleness is just that there is no master. There is no shortage of rough envoys and maids in the courtyard, so it is not difficult to tidy up.Tanchun himself also has a nanny and a big maid to take care of him, so it is easy to pack his luggage.Wang Xifeng assigned four other second-class maids to her, but they were directed to go to the courtyard on the west side. After all, rough maids are no match for second-class maids, so they should be tidied up carefully so that they can move in tomorrow.The most troublesome thing is probably the Buddha room. There are all the cabinet Buddha cases ready-made, but this Buddha statue...
"Old Ancestor, I don't know if tomorrow will be a good day, but the Buddha statues have to be specially invited on a special day. You see, after the third sister moves over, first copy the Buddhist scriptures, and then let the Buddha statues come over, and then let the Buddha statues come. She worships Buddha?"
Mother Jia worked hard for several days, and she didn't want to deal with these nonsense anymore. Hearing what Wang Xifeng said was reasonable, she just waved her hand and let her take care of it.
After everything was taken care of, Wang Xifeng went to the Baosha to take a look at Tanchun, but never thought that Aunt Zhao was still in her room.At the same time, Wang Xifeng saw that Tanchun secretly made a pleading look to herself, and suddenly smiled wryly in her heart, maybe Li Wan concealed the truth about Tanchun, and Tanchun also concealed the truth about Aunt Zhao?Thinking that Tanchun would go to the west courtyard tomorrow, Wang Xifeng only sighed, and ordered someone to invite another doctor to come over, at least to show Tanchun the wound on his forehead.
Saying goodbye to Tanchun, Wang Xifeng went to Rongxi Hall together with Zicuckoo who had been waiting outside for a long time.Unexpectedly, before the two master and servant walked out of the Chuihua Gate, they heard a quarrel, but it was Jia She and Jia Zheng.
"...Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you? Do you dare to say that you didn't know from the beginning to the end? Do you dare to say that you have no other thoughts? You, you, you, you are too much!" It was Jia Zheng who was so angry that he almost stuttered. the sound of.
"How do I have anything to do with you? Hehe, yes, you are right. I just wanted to embarrass you, so I specifically agreed to change Yingchun into a prostitute. Otherwise, do you think I am full? But your daughter-in-law I really didn't expect my son to come up with such a thing as acting with Tanchun. But so what? Let's make a fake show, Tanchun doesn't have this ability, I have it! As an uncle, how can I not reach out Pull her? Now, look at how great it is, Tanchun is also a daughter-in-law, but your daughter-in-law is so angry that she vomits blood and becomes seriously ill. Tsk tsk, but your daughter-in-law is really a character, much better than my daughter-in-law , at least my daughter-in-law doesn't have the guts to contradict her mother-in-law, let alone drive her to death!"
"You are talking nonsense! Mrs. Wang is not dead yet!"
"It's coming soon, don't worry, it's probably only two days, after all, people are doing what they are doing, and the sky is watching. I should be watching your wife, who will let her do all the bad things. But you... Cough cough, of course, second brother, you are an upright gentleman, but an honest gentleman has to watch his wife’s funeral! Second brother, you are such an upright person, at least you have to guard it for 50 to [-] years? Or learn from our brother-in-law and swear not to marry for life , that is the true gentleman!"
"Shut up! Why should I swear not to marry for the rest of my life? No, she is not dead yet, Mrs. Wang!" Compared with Jia Amnesty's calmness, Jia Zheng almost jumped in anger. You can do anything wrong, if Mrs. Wang is really dead..."
"That's because your daughter and daughter-in-law were all mad at you!" Jia She was not afraid of him, and said the words that angered people would not pay for their lives, "You can't rely on me for this, I didn't go Passed by your place. Besides, when Mrs. Zhang passed away, it was obviously because of Hu’er’s early death and depression. You insisted that it was because I doted on my concubine and killed my wife and forced people to death. Fart! When did I spoil my concubine? Killed his wife? I don’t have a single concubine in my house!”
Jia Zheng's complexion changed drastically, as if he never thought that Jia She would suddenly bring up such a long-term matter, and it was still in front of everyone.Even if Jia Mu is not here at this time, Mrs. Xing, Yingchun, and many maids are all watching, let alone they are standing outside Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu will know what happened sooner or later!
"Brother, are you drinking again today? I still have business to do, and we two brothers will get together again some day."
"Hmph, guilty? Lost confidence? Let me tell you another word. It's not that the time has not come! As long as you and Wang's virtues, you will be punished sooner or later! By the way, if Wang's death, you don't need to take the shit out of it. Pin it on me, I will definitely expose everything! Hahaha, the widow grandma who came from the scholarly family of the second room murdered her mother-in-law! Hahahahaha..." Jia She laughed wildly and walked away, while Mrs. Xing beside her Not daring to say a word, he quickly pulled Yingchun up and chased after her, the maids and women even lowered their heads and hurried away, and after a while, everyone in the big house left completely.
Except for Wang Xifeng's master and servant who were hiding by the hanging flower gate, and Jia Zheng who had previously clamored that he had business to do.However, after Jia Amnesty and others walked away, Jia Zheng also shook his sleeves and left.
"Second Grandma Lian." Seeing everyone walking away, Zijuan looked at Wang Xifeng with some trepidation.
Wang Xifeng looked suspiciously at the direction where everyone disappeared, pondered for a moment, and said to himself: "They are going in the same direction."
"Grandma, what did you say?"
"I mean, the Eldest Master and the others are walking in the direction of leaving the mansion, probably going back to the East Courtyard. The Second Master is also going that way. Does this mean that they plan to go to the Rongxi Hall?" Wang Xifeng thought about it carefully, and she was sure When Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng came back together, he had just come out of Rongxi Hall.That is to say, Jia Amnesty brought Jia Zheng back with the excuse that Mrs. Wang was seriously ill.But Jia Zheng had no intention of going to Rongxi Hall to take a look at Mrs. Wang who was in danger, which was quite cold-hearted.
Zicuckoo didn't dare to respond anymore, but just lowered her head and huddled herself into a ball as much as possible, so as to reduce the sense of existence.Fortunately, Wang Xifeng only had a little general feeling, and then turned to Rongxi Hall, which made Zijuan heave a sigh of relief.
The Rongxi Hall looked much more orderly than before. Seeing Wang Xifeng coming, a little maid immediately notified Ping'er.Soon, Ping'er came to Wang Xifeng, and briefly talked about Mrs. Wang's situation.
As the imperial physician said, Mrs. Wang's condition is not very good, but it is not so serious that she will die at any time.Generally speaking, it is an extremely stable dangerous period.If he has been taking good care of him like this, his condition will naturally improve gradually.But on the other hand, once the condition worsens, I'm afraid it's time to prepare for the funeral.Today, Mrs. Wang's condition is still stable, neither getting better nor getting worse.
"Grandma, I took a closer look. The maids in front of the second wife are all good, and they all serve them with all their heart, without any intention of neglecting them. There are also maids who took the prescription left by the imperial physician and took the medicine. It was ready a while ago, and I fed the second wife to drink it. However, the second wife is still awake, and the medicine can be fed, but it is better to spit it out than to drink it. Fortunately, there is no shortage of medicinal materials in the house. He ordered someone to boil two servings again, and it is estimated that there should be about one serving." Ping'er paused, and then added, "Just now, Grandma Zhu also came over, and now she is serving in front of the second wife. disease."
"Well, I see, Ping'er, you go back. By the way, the fourth sister is also with us. I was so busy and confused just now that I forgot to remind the eldest lady to go to my place to fetch someone." I really forgot at first, Later, in front of the Chuihua Gate, Wang Xifeng remembered it, but seeing Jia She and Jia Zheng arguing like that, she really didn't have the guts to remind her.Simply because it is still early, there is no rush.At worst, let Mrs. Xing take him back when I greet you in the evening.
Ping'er responded, stepped back and returned to the yard without mentioning it.
After Ping'er left, Wang Xifeng stood there, stunned for a long time.She was not worried about Mrs. Wang, and she was not worried about the wrong person to serve her at all. I am afraid that Li Wan and Mrs. Wang's personal maids are the ones who look forward to the best of Mrs. Wang in this world.
She was thinking of something else.
Just now, what Jia Amnesty said to Jia Zheng seemed to be full of weirdness inside and out. But Jia Amnesty disdained lying the most, not because he praised his character, but because he was compared to Jia Zheng. That hypocrite, Jia Amnesty is a villain through and through.And in the situation at that time, Jia Amnesty was unlikely to be talking nonsense, so the only possibility was that he spoke his mind out of anger.
Mrs. Zhang's death back then, brother Hu's premature death, and the so-called doting concubine killing his wife...
Faintly, Wang Xifeng felt that she touched some corners, but it was impossible for her to sort it out in a short while.However, there was another layer of meaning in what Jia She said.
