Wang Xifeng's Rebirth [Red Mansion]

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were walking home, and both of them kept silent.After a while, Jia Lian couldn't help asking: "Is this a difficult matter?" She thought, after all, Wang Xifeng is Mrs. Wang's niece. Even though the aunt and nephew had some conflicts before, seeing Mrs. Wang's half-dead look, Worrying about it is also common.However, Jia Lian still hoped that Wang Xifeng would stand on his side. In fact, his request was not too high. He never thought of murdering anyone in the second room, but just wanted to get back his share of the family property.

"It's really tricky." Wang Xifeng nodded subconsciously, but kept thinking about what Jia She said to Jia Zheng earlier.She wanted to have a good talk with Jia Lian, but she was worried about the traffic on the road at this moment, even if no one had deliberately eavesdropped, she didn't want to be overheard by anyone unintentionally.Simply swallowing the words that came to his lips, Wang Xifeng said, "Let's go back and talk about it."

"Okay." Seeing Wang Xifeng's hesitant expression, Jia Lian thought it was his guess.Immediately, he couldn't help but start to think, what if Wang Xifeng really softened his heart towards Mrs. Wang?For a while, the two fell silent again.

Zijuan was on the verge of crying, although others respected her as coming out of Jia's mother's room, but in fact she was just a second-class maid in Rongqingtang.Jia's mother is the ancestor of the Jia family, not to mention the daily food and drink expenses, and the maids and women at her disposal are all excellent.Although Zijuan is neither inferior nor proud, according to her own feeling, she is just in the middle among many maidservants.I thought that when Baoyu was older, Mother Jia would ration herself to Baoyu, but who would have thought that Wang Xifeng would suddenly take the lead...

"Hey, my little ancestor, what are you doing?" Wang Xifeng suddenly cried out in surprise, but it frightened Zijuan quite a bit.Fortunately, Zijuan took a closer look, but it was Wang Xifeng's darling Qiao sister who was making a fuss again.

If the little girl Pianzi is only one year old, although she was a little weaker in the past, she has gained more than a circle of weight after taking care of her these days.That's right, gaining weight!I don't know how this girl grew up. She only has flesh but not stature. Fortunately, she is still young, and she is a white and fat meat dumpling, which is very happy to look at.But at this moment, Routuanzi was being held in the arms of the nanny, but with the aura of commanding thousands of troops, he ordered the nanny, maids, and Xichun to run around with unclear words.

Jia Lian hurried forward to take Qiaojie from the nanny's hand, reached out and nodded her eyebrows: "Qiaojie, what are you doing? You are as naughty as your mother."

Wang Xifeng originally wanted to stop Sister Qiao's nonsense, but when she heard this, she immediately exploded: "What? Why did you get involved with me when you are so good? I said Second Master Lian, even if you want to be like... It's the fault of not raising a godfather." Have you heard this sentence?"

"Hey, Lian's second grandma is very talented." Jia Lian squinted at Wang Xifeng, then weighed Qiaojie with her hand, and teased, "You are so naughty, and you still have the capacity, tsk tsk. Qiaojie, remember the little girl's family. You must be gentle and quiet, and father will find you a female husband later, so that she can teach you how to learn, okay?"

Qiaojie smiled brightly, and Ha Lazi couldn't stop falling.It's just that she is well-behaved now, not at all as naughty as before.However, she calmed down, but the people beside her breathed a sigh of relief.Ping'er didn't wait for Wang Xifeng to ask a question, so he stepped forward and said: "Second Master, Second Mistress, when I came back just now, I saw Sister Qiao and Fourth Miss, and Xiaohong, who looks like a monkey in our yard, together. There was a quarrel. Unfortunately, Sister Qiao is not good at walking. Seeing Miss Si and Xiaohong running away after arguing, she insisted on running away with Tang Nanny holding her. At first, it was okay, but later, Sister Qiao let all of us People are making a fuss, but my old bones are exhausted."

Although Wang Xifeng was not as worried about Mrs. Wang's illness as Jia Lian thought, but so many things happened at once, and she was forced to come up with a way to clear up the matter before, but it took a lot of thought .Although it will not be exhausted all at once, it is inevitable that I will feel a little stuffy in my heart.When I saw Sister Qiao, and heard Ping'er's words, I finally laughed for real: "Sister Qiao is naughty, and Ping'er, you are also naughty? If you are old, what should I do? What will the second master do?"

"Don't get involved with me, so I won't feel old." Jia Lian saw that Sister Qiao put her arms around her neck and wouldn't let go, so she didn't force her at all, and just carried her into the room.Seeing Xichun's look of anticipation and eagerness out of the corner of his eyes, Jia Lian said a little amusedly, "Fourth sister, let's play with Xiaohong and the others for a while, sister Qiao is too young, I guess she will be too sleepy to keep her eyes open later. "

Xichun nodded ignorantly, she is five years old this year, the same age as Jia Lan.But just like Tanchun and Baoyu of the same age, no one cares about the former, while the latter is loved by thousands of people.There are too many injustices in the world, Xichun has never reached the age of cynical, she just instinctively envy.Before, among the three sisters, only Tanchun had a mother and mother-in-law, and she was already very envious. Later, Yingchun also had a mother, but she was still alone.He watched helplessly as Jia Lian entered the room with sister Qiao in his arms, followed by Wang Xifeng who smiled at her and followed into the room.Fortunately, at this time, Xiaohong came to hold her hand, and Xichun smiled again.

In the inner room, Jia Lian put Qiaojie on the kang, and Wang Xifeng stepped forward to take off Qiaojie's outer clothes, and covered her with a thin quilt.Just like what Jia Lian said before, after sister Qiao played crazy, she just closed her eyes and fell asleep. It was only a few breaths before and after, which made Jia Lian laugh endlessly.

Wang Xifeng narrowed her eyes and stared dangerously at Jia Lian, threatening: "Second Master Lian, if you dare to say that Sister Qiao looks like... huh? I will definitely not forgive you!"

"Haha." For fear of waking up Qiaojie, Jia Lian was forced to suppress his laughter, and he did exactly what Wang Xifeng said, never said that word, and smiled and compromised, "Okay, I don't say it." Yes. Second Mistress Lian, think about it, Sister Qiao is my daughter, so if I speak ill of her, what good will it do me?"

"It's good that the second master knows."

"Of course I know." Jia Lian said as he walked to the kang table, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "By the way, the young man who went to call me didn't say anything clearly, Second Wife What's the matter? Yesterday I saw that although she felt aggrieved in her heart, her body should be fine? It's only been one night, and she is so sick that she is unconscious? Even the fourth younger sister came to us here?"

Wang Xifeng originally wanted to go forward to help, but after hearing Jia Lian's words, she couldn't help but pause, and sighed: "The second wife is really hurt this time, and she probably never thought that her daughter and son The daughter-in-law would make trouble like this. However, the saddest thing is not this, but the fact that the second wife doesn’t even know if she can get through this.” Immediately, without waiting for Jia Lian to ask, he told what happened earlier today Son, everything was said in a bamboo tube, including Jia Mu forcing her to come forward to smooth this matter out.

Jia Lian's complexion sank, he didn't even bother to drink the tea in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Old lady, what does this mean? It is obvious that the second wife cares about face, and the third sister doesn't give her face, which caused the current situation. These troubles. Of course, sister-in-law Zhu is not a good thing! But anyway, this is all about the second room, why should you come forward to help them smooth it out? Even if the second wife is down, the second room is dead. !"

"Second Master, why bother to get angry at yourself for these things?" Seeing that Sister Qiao was not sleeping soundly, Wang Xifeng simply sat beside her, patted each other, "Second Master, think about it carefully, We live in the second room now, and I am in charge of the second room. Now that something has happened, it is only natural for me to come forward to smooth it out. Besides, this is not very troublesome. The second master has not seen these days Are the unlucky ones the second bedroom?"

It is true that Mrs. Wang was a little dissatisfied with Wang Xifeng because of her blind ideas, but I believe that if Mrs. Wang can get through this test this time, she will never hold grudges against Wang Xifeng again.After all, compared to Li Wan and Tanchun, Wang Xifeng is simply too "kind".As for Jiamu's persecution today and earlier, in good conscience, Jiamu just asked Wang Xifeng to find a way to smooth over the matter. If she really had no choice, Jiamu would not punish her.Leaving aside Tanchun who is related by blood, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan are completely different in front of Jia Mu.The former grew up in front of her since she was a child, just like the big girl of the Shi family, plus Wang Xifeng is very good at coming, has a sweet mouth, and can manage the house and govern the board. Now even Jia Lian is being cleaned up and docile.the latter……

Just being a widow and grandma made Li Wan unhappy.

"It's their fault that the second wife is unlucky! Why should they get involved with us because of their unlucky luck? The eldest wife is willing to put the second sister in her name, it is her kindness. If the second wife's fake bodhisattva can't do it, don't do it, and save face If she wants a lining again, she deserves to fall hard." Jia Lian raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea, still feeling puzzled, he simply took the teapot and poured it into his mouth.After a while, he said angrily, "Let's move to the east courtyard later, the east wing rooms on the left and right are no worse than ours!"

Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian in astonishment, but couldn't find anything to answer.

"What, you don't want to?" Jia Lian put down the teapot, looked at Wang Xifeng and said hesitantly, "After all, we are from the big house, and we will go there sooner or later. You..."

"We are from the big house, and we will go to the east courtyard sooner or later. But even if we want to go to the east courtyard, we don't live in the east wing." Wang Xifeng pursed her lips and said, "When the old master and the eldest wife move back After the Rongxi Hall, I will move to the East Courtyard with my master, without my father's urging."

Jia Lian was stunned.

Wang Xifeng thought about it, and felt that it was necessary to reach an agreement with Jia Lian on this matter.Although Wang Xifeng's most fundamental reason is not sex, but making money, there are always plenty of excuses.At that moment, Wang Xifeng said softly: "Second Master Lian, I also know that it is not a long-term solution for us to stay in the second room, but Second Master, you should think about our small family anyway. It is very easy for our family of three to return to the East Courtyard. The Eldest Master is your own father, the Second Master, so he will not treat us harshly. The Eldest Wife and the Second Sister have such temperaments, and I don’t fear them. But there is a saying that it is easier to please God than to give it away, but we are doing it the other way around. It's very easy to move out, and if I want to move back... I'm afraid it will be impossible in this life."

Seeing that Jia Lian was just looking at him blankly, Wang Xifeng said again: "Now, the old lady is still here, and she always prefers the second bedroom. Second master, think again, if we propose to go back to the East courtyard, let's not talk about the second master and the second wife. What is the idea of ​​the wife? How can I explain it to the old lady alone? I am afraid that there will be no chance to explain it at that time. Furniture, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with our house."

"So we can only stay here and take the blame for others by looking at people's faces?" Jia Lian's face was gloomy, and there were bursts of chill in his tone.

Wang Xifeng was not annoyed at all, just continued to pat Qiaojie, and after thinking for a moment, she slowly said: "Second Master Lian is unwilling, so why not I? But now is a great opportunity, if we don't make good use of it, I really missed God's kindness in vain." Seeing Jia Lian looking at her in amazement, Wang Xifeng smiled very brightly, but it had the same smile as Qiaoqiao's sister when she was playing crazy, "Second Master, think about it carefully, now the Second Mistress Falling ill, the third younger sister was banned for three full years, and sister-in-law Zhu, who was originally a widow and grandmother, couldn't handle many things by herself. Wine brag."

Hearing the last sentence, Jia Lian couldn't help but burst out laughing, but Miss Qiao turned around impatiently, and Jia Lian quickly covered her mouth in shock.After a while, Jia Lian said hesitantly, "Should I send Miss Qiao back to the room?"

"No, this girl is a heavy sleeper, so it's not easy to wake up. Besides, it's fine for the eldest wife and second younger sister to come here. Both of them are safe people, and the maids and women in our yard are also good, but The fourth sister is here now. I'm not saying that the fourth sister is not good, but she is so young, if she bumps into sister Qiao, wouldn't it be that our hearts are in a panic when we look back?"

"Yes, Brother Feng, you are more considerate." Remembering the topic just now, Jia Lian counted slowly with his fingers, "According to what you said, Brother Feng, only Baoyu and Lan'er are left in the second room." , and the fourth younger sister. Tsk, all of them are useless!"

"Second Master Lian, don't be so relaxed. Although the second room is not supported by anyone, don't forget that there is an old lady above. What we have to do now is to please the old lady. Apart from other things, at least We must win the old lady's trust first, and then we will do other things, and we will have enough confidence."

Wang Xifeng made some calculations again. In fact, rather than fighting for the inheritance rights of Rongguo Mansion, what she wanted more was the money and family property under the century-old foundation of Rongguo Mansion.If it was possible, she really wanted to take away the money and family property, and give this huge ancestral house and the empty title to the second wife.It's a pity that she is not the head of the eldest family, let alone Jia Amnesty, she can't even persuade Jia Lian.Because of this, Wang Xifeng just buried her true thoughts in her heart and never said them out loud.However, for Wang Xifeng, as long as she has the right to be the housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion, if she wants to make money from it, it's like picking something out of a bag.Especially... Mrs. Wang fell down.

"Second Master, there is one more thing I want to tell you about the Eldest Master." Thinking of Mrs. Wang lying unconscious on the bed, Wang Xifeng suddenly realized that if Mrs. Wang remained like this forever, It's a blessing for Dafang.But if Mrs. Wang can't be rescued in the end, I'm afraid that after the reunion of the second wife, it will not be as easy for her to do things as it is now.

"what?"

"Today the Elder Master was arguing with the Second Master outside the Rongqing Hall. I won't go into details about the situation, it's the same as the previous few times. The Elder Master had the upper hand and made the Second Master jump his feet in anger. "Wang Xifeng's complexion suddenly became serious, bit his lips, and finally made up his mind to say that, "It's just that the old man said something after hearing the death of the old lady back then. Yao died of illness because of depression, but she didn't say that it was because she spoiled her concubine and killed her wife and forced her to death'. That's probably how it is."

Jia Lian got up abruptly, her face full of shock: "What did you say? This... Does this mean that there was something wrong with my mother's death?"

"Second master thinks the same way?" Seeing Jia Lian nodding his head, Wang Xifeng became more and more uneasy, "I was standing by the hanging flower gate of Rongqing Hall, the Eldest Master and the others probably didn't notice me. However, because I ordered my servants to tidy up the west yard, I went out a little later, and I probably missed a small part of it. But even if there are only such words, I think there is a big problem in them."

"No one has ever told me about the cause of my mother's death, never!" Compared to Wang Xifeng's uneasiness, Jia Lian was full of anger, "And my elder brother, when my mother died, I It was about two or three years old, but I still have some memories. My elder brother should have passed away earlier, and I have no memory at all. But if there is a problem with my mother's death, what about my elder brother? You know, our mansion Even if they are concubines, they are generally not in poor health. After a hundred years, Aunt Lin should be the weakest, but didn't she live for decades before dying?"

Aunt Lin is Jia Min, Daiyu's mother. Because she is the old daughter of Jia Mu, Jia Min has been very weak since birth.And it's not that she has a slightly weak constitution like sister Qiao, it's simply a weak disease brought out from the womb.However, the Rongguo Mansion at that time was more powerful than it is now. Under the careful care of Jia Daishan and Jia Mu, Jia Min lived well enough to marry.Even if her youngest son hadn't died young, maybe Jia's mother could live for another few decades.

As for Dafang...

"Second Master, these things are easy to say, even if we have a little bit of doubt, we must never talk about it." The worry on Wang Xifeng's face became more and more serious, and there was a faint feeling in her. The feeling of having lived in vain in the previous life.Think about it carefully, what was she doing at this time in her previous life?He was busy acting as a director for the housekeeper of the second room, busy trying to be strong, busy fighting wits and courage with those servant wives that Jia Lian had a crush on...

"I see." Jia Lian said in a low voice with a gloomy face.

Just hearing what Jia Lian said, Wang Xifeng became more and more worried.Sighing slightly, Wang Xifeng shook her head helplessly: "If the second master really wants to know these things, there is a ready-made candidate."

"Who?"

Is it really so impatient?Wang Xifeng smiled bitterly, and couldn't help thinking, what would happen to her if her parents were also killed?Unfortunately, no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't remember what her parents looked like.In fact, when her parents passed away, she was not too young. Maybe it was because she was born heartless that she lived so recklessly and unrestrainedly?Shaking her head, Wang Xifeng sighed and said, "Second Master Lian, have you forgotten the matchmaker you did for Ping'er earlier? The family you are looking for..."

"That's right, I'm going to find them right now. My mother's nanny may not remember these things, but my mother's nanny must! She must know the inside story!"

"Wait!" Seeing that Jia Lian was about to run away, Wang Xifeng hurriedly got up and stopped him, "Second Master Lian, it's been so many years, why are you in such a hurry? It's still early, but the whole house is busy, you're rushing out right now... that's all, it's okay if you really want to go, but I still want to remind you, it's best to go first On the other side of the East Court."

"East Courtyard? Why should I go to the East Courtyard? Oh, yes, Brother Feng, do you mean to let me ask the Elder Lord first? Don't think about it, I won't go! Hmph, as a husband, He can't even protect his own wife and children, so what's the use of him? No wonder he has been oppressed by the second master all these years, and he deserves it! Deserved!"

Jia Lian angrily opened the curtain and was about to go out when she suddenly heard Ping'er's voice from outside: "Second Master, Second Mistress, someone from the east courtyard sent someone to call Second Master to come over quickly, saying that the Eldest Master is here. I need to find the second master urgently, let me go immediately."

Both Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian stopped their movements and looked at each other, and it took a while to recover.Wang Xifeng asked loudly: "Did someone say what happened?"

Ping'er replied: "No, I just urged the second master to go there immediately. I also said that only the second master can go there, and grandma doesn't need to make a special trip."

"Second Master, look at this matter..." Wang Xifeng's heart was fluctuating, and she always felt that this matter was a bit weird.Jia Shesu came from Gu Zi's happy life, why did she and Jia Lian suddenly send someone to tell Jia Lian when they found out that Zhang's and Jia Hu's causes of death were different?

"What are you afraid of? I'll just go and have a look!"
