Wang Xifeng's Rebirth [Red Mansion]
Chapter 094
Wang Xifeng thought that she had never done anything to offend Li Wan's mother and son, but most of the time, the reasoning didn't make sense.If it was only Li Wan who was hurt today, it would not be serious, but now it is Jia Lan whom Li Wan regards as a treasure...
Involuntarily, Wang Xifeng thought back to her previous life when she learned that Qiao Jie was sold by Wang Ren, at that moment she was full of anger and resentment, if Wang Ren was in front of her at that time, she would definitely pounce on her like a wild beast and tear her to pieces. Bite, it is a feeling of completely losing reason, wishing to die with it.
Never underestimate the cruelty of a mother.
"Is the second wife really sick?" Wang Xifeng asked as if muttering to herself.
Because there were only Wang Xifeng and Zijuan in the room, although the tone of the words did not sound like a question, Zijuan still replied: "Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, it must be true? I have heard about it a long time ago. My wife has lost a lot of weight these days, and now it's a cold day, so it's not weird to fall ill..."
I have to say that Zicuckoo's words still make sense.Mrs. Wang fainted once a few months ago, and that time was really in danger. Even the imperial doctor said that whether she can be rescued depends on Mrs. Wang's own luck.Later, because of Jia Lan's incident, Mrs. Wang was tossed by Jia Mu in different ways. Even though she didn't suffer any physical injuries, the pressure Jia Mu put on was definitely not something ordinary people could bear.What's more, there are Jia Zheng's indifferent behavior and the extra concubines in the house.
It's normal for Mrs. Wang to be ill, and she even feels it's a matter of course.
But Wang Xifeng was still full of doubts, and only after hearing that Zijuan had just mentioned Li Wan did he suddenly become suspicious.
"Zicuckoo, guess what, if sister-in-law Zhu saw Lan Er's current appearance on Xiao'an New Year's Eve, what would she do?"
"Is she angry, or is she crying?" Zijuan was a little uncertain, firstly, she was not familiar with Li Wan, and secondly, she could not understand the heart of a mother.However, even so, Zicuckoo also felt that this matter was quite tricky.But the problem is, Li Wan's speech to the outside world is to pray for Jia Zhu who died young. Under such circumstances, she can't let her have a bad life for years, right?It's okay if it's Tanchun, the left and right are just a little girl who hasn't left the cabinet, and there is no one outside the house to make decisions for her.If it were Li Wan, it would be a big deal, aside from that, the Rongguo Mansion has a lot of relatives, even if Li Wan is a widow and grandma, there is no reason why he has to let people see guests.Even if they don't see any guests...the Li family will send New Year's gifts on time every year, why can't even Li Wan's natal family not be allowed to see her?If the Rongguo Mansion really did this, they would lose face.
However, for Zijuan, she would not think deeply about the question of whether the Rongguo Mansion should be ashamed or not. From the beginning to the end, what she thought of was another thing: "Grandma, although this matter has nothing to do with grandma. It doesn't matter too much, but I'm worried, if grandma Zhu gets into trouble, what should I do if I accidentally bump into grandma?"
This is what Zicuckoo is most worried about.Similarly, this is also the reason why Zijuan clearly thought of Li Wan's troubles earlier, but never reminded Wang Xifeng.In fact, Li Wan would never intentionally come to Wang Xifeng, and therefore, before knowing that Wang Xifeng was pregnant, Zijuan was not very worried.But now, the nature of the matter is quite different.
"I know, the big deal is that I will say that my bones are unwell, so I just don't go."
It's just a small New Year's Eve, as long as there is a good reason, it doesn't matter if you don't go.Not to mention that Wang Xifeng is pregnant now, even if she is childless and has no pet, if she is unwilling to participate, Mother Jia can't let her be tied up.The reason why he agreed to Li Wan's participation was for the sake of the Rongguo Mansion's face. In the same way, the Chinese New Year is to have fun with each other, even if it's just on the surface, no one is forcing people to come over to make amends.
Hearing what Wang Xifeng said, Zijuan let out a sigh of relief.However, after thinking about it carefully, Zijuan said again: "It doesn't matter if you don't participate in the New Year's Eve, but what about the New Year's Eve? Grandma still finds excuses not to go?"
"Are you kidding me?" Wang Xifeng glanced at Zijuan, and said angrily, "Sister-in-law Zhu is making a fuss on New Year's Eve, can the old lady let her come out to dance again?"
If this is the case, Mother Jia will be stomping her own face on the ground!As for finding an appropriate reason at that time, that is something Jia Mu should consider.If Wang Xifeng is free, she can also help out with ideas and gain a wave of favorability in front of Jiamu.
Zijuan was finally completely relieved, she neither wanted Wang Xifeng to have any accidents, but also hoped that Wang Xifeng would participate in all the major events of Rongguo Mansion.After all, as a personal servant girl, her future blessings and misfortunes are closely related to her master.
"Zijuan, remember to ask for more information when you look back, especially about the second wife. If Rongxitang is tight-lipped, try to go elsewhere. By the way, don't let Yiciyuan go, good thing Don't be stingy, just send it there, it's not bad for our family. As for the news, in the past, Ping'er and Sister Lin had a good relationship with Ping'an in front of her. If you think about it, she is a transparent person, and you can continue to go to her Use your strength." Smart people will not refuse to have an ally, especially in the Rongguo Mansion, Daiyu is just a guest, but Wang Xifeng is someone who can really talk.
"Yes, I will follow Grandma's orders."
Because she had had enough rest, Wang Xifeng, supported by Zijuan, went back to the inner room and took a nap on the bed.Originally, I thought that I would be too excited to fall asleep when I got the good news for the first time, but I never thought that after actually touching the pillow, Wang Xifeng would soon fall into a deep sleep.When he woke up again, it was already almost two hours.
"You girl didn't know to wake me up earlier. By the way, is the eldest lady here?" Wang Xifeng remembered Zijuan reminding her that Mrs. Xing would come to see her after her afternoon nap, so she asked this question.
Zijuan responded with a smile: "Here we are. I heard that grandma is taking a nap, so the eldest wife went to the east room. Sister Qiao woke up earlier than grandma, and soon she was with the eldest wife, the second girl and the fourth girl." We went to play together, and even pissed on the eldest wife."
"...Pfft!" Wang Xifeng originally wanted to urge Zijuan to move faster, both sides were in her own yard, and there was no need to fiddle with so many hairpins.As a result, before he finished his urging words, he heard Zijuan make a fortune, and he couldn't help but laughed outright.
"I knew grandma used to gloat, but the eldest wife also laughed at that moment, and only said that if she had taken sister Qiao's pee decades earlier, maybe she would still be happy."
"Hahaha, it's still decades earlier! In the past 20 years, I didn't even have a baby!" Wang Xifeng laughed, but she was much more energetic.Seeing that it was almost done, Wang Xifeng just took a gold hairpin inlaid with pearls and put it on, then turned and went outside.
The little maid outside got the news a long time ago and hurriedly led Mrs. Xing and others into the main hall, so when Wang Xifeng went out, everyone was already waiting for her.In addition to Mrs. Xing, Yingchun, and Xichun that Zijuan just mentioned, even sister Qiao is there.
"I've seen my wife, I've saluted my wife." Wang Xifeng greeted her with a smile, and immediately saw Qiaojie who was being hugged by Mrs. Xing. I heard that you did something bad today, and I will let your father deal with you later."
"Don't worry, sister Qiao is very nice and well-behaved." Interrupted by Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Xing swallowed back what she was going to say, praising sister Qiao all the time.After a while, under Yingchun's reminder, she remembered that she was here to congratulate her. Mrs. Xing hurriedly asked for a gift, and said, "Brother Feng, it is a big deal for you to be happy, and I don't have any other good things. I only picked out a few auspicious decorations for you. But the second and fourth girls made a lot of purses, sachets and other things before, and gave them to you together."
Before Wang Xifeng could speak, Yingchun and Xichun stepped forward to wish them well, and said together: "Congratulations to my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law is very happy, and I will have a precious son next year." These little gadgets are just for my sister-in-law to reward people during the Chinese New Year, and my sister and I will make some better ones later, and use them for sister Qiao and the little nephew who will come out next year."
Although it was just a child's flattering words, to Wang Xifeng's ears, it was really comforting.Just think about it, who doesn't like flattery?Besides, Mrs. Xing and the other three were sincere.
"Then I would like to thank my wife and the two younger sisters for your kind words." Wang Xifeng had a relaxed smile on his face, but after seeing Sister Qiao's expression, he gave her a bitter look.
At this moment, Miss Qiao was still being held in Mrs. Xing's arms. Originally, with her temperament, she would definitely rush towards Wang Xifeng when she saw Wang Xifeng.The problem is, this little girl is a ghost, and she listened to Wang Xifeng's joking words about cleaning her up just now, but now she is looking at Wang Xifeng with a solemn face, but she hugged Mrs. Xing's neck tightly and said Don't let go of anything.
Wang Xifeng was angry and funny, so she deliberately frightened her with a straight face: "Sister Qiao, are you going to be naughty in the future? Huh?"
Qiaojie blinked her eyes wide, as if she was discerning the meaning of Wang Xifeng's words. After a while, she twisted her waist and buried her little head in Mrs. Xing's neck. It seemed that she was really frightened.At this moment, Wang Xifeng felt a little regretful, she didn't really intend to scare her precious daughter, she was thinking bitterly how to coax her back without losing face, but Madam Xing suddenly opened her mouth.
"Brother Feng, I see you are very busy here, why don't you let sister Qiao stay with me for a few days first?"
"...Hehe, I'm actually not too busy. The housekeeper was returned to the second wife earlier. Although the second wife is sick now, I think she has no shortage of people under her command. As for sister Qiao, there are also nurses on the left and right. Mama will take it with you, if you don't tire me, I won't bother you, Madam." Wang Xifeng smiled awkwardly, she really never thought about sending sister Qiao out.
But when these words fell into Mrs. Xing's ears, it was another matter: "Brother Feng, you are also so alien, I really want to help you take care of Qiaojie. Besides, I usually It's nothing, the second girl and the fourth girl are so old, there is nothing I need to worry about, I can really take care of it, and I will never be tired."
Wang Xifeng really wanted to support her forehead and sigh. She really wasn't worried that she would tire Mrs. Xing. It was just a polite remark just now. In fact, she just simply couldn't bear her daughter to leave her.
Just when Wang Xifeng was hesitating how to tell Mrs. Xing about it tactfully, Jia Lian returned early.But obviously, Jia Lian never expected to see Mrs. Xing here. In fact, although the two were called mother and son, they were no different from strangers, and they hadn't even seen each other for many days.Fortunately, strangers are strangers, but it does not prevent Jia Lian from saluting.Therefore, Jia Lian saluted Mrs. Xing first, and then Wang Xifeng, Yingchun, and Xichun also saluted Jia Lian in turn.
Then...
"Yo, my little ancestor, what are you doing? Didn't I visit you when I went out in the morning? You miss me so much?" Jia Lian hurriedly took Qiaojie from Madam Xing. It's not that he was impatient, but that after the initial daze, Qiaojie was like a shooting star, and she fell directly from Mrs. Xing's hand.
"Father! Mother is bad, mother is bad, bad is bad!" As soon as Sister Qiao fell into Jia Lian's arms, she complained loudly.The complaints were made behind their backs, and it was only sister Qiao who kept complaining in front of Wang Xifeng, and even made a small appearance of being extremely wronged.
Wang Xifeng was so angry that she rolled her eyes, Zijuan hurriedly gave Wang Xifeng a good look, but when she turned her head, she was secretly laughing.On the other hand, Jia Lian looked at his wife and daughter in a daze, and said suspiciously after a while, "Brother Feng, what are you doing again?"
"What am I doing? Second Master Lian, why don't you ask what your good girl is doing? Huh, little girl, you should dare to sue your mother for a crime, and see how I deal with you later!" Wang Xifeng hated He stared hatefully.
But this time, she couldn't bluff Qiaojie anymore. She turned her head and made a face at Wang Xifeng, then slapped her hands and giggled, completely saying "I have a backing, I'm not afraid of you" Uncle looks like.
The room was silent for a moment, and then everyone couldn't help laughing out loud, even Yingchun, who was the least talkative, couldn't help lowering his head and covering his mouth with a handkerchief and sniggering.But the ones who laughed the most were Jia Lian, sister Qiao, father and daughter.
Father: "Hahahaha..."
When the girl: "Hehehehe..."
Wang Xifeng glared angrily, and immediately pulled Zijuan, and shouted: "Go, let's ignore these two bastards, big and small are like this! Hmph!" After finishing speaking, Wang Xifeng turned around and went to the inner room, Zijuan hurriedly He covered his mouth and followed, and was afraid that Wang Xifeng would walk too quickly, so he half trotted and half stretched out his hands to support him.
Seeing that Wang Xifeng really ran away in a fit of anger, Jia Lian still didn't understand, and laughed again before saying to Mrs. Xing, "Don't worry, Mrs. Feng. Brother Feng and I are used to messing around. It's okay." Sister Qiao didn't slap her hands now, but patted her chest with her small hands and said in agreement: "It's okay!"
Mrs. Xing didn't laugh very much, but she laughed out her tears. After hearing Jia Lian's words, she waved her hands helplessly, and said, "You really are, Lian'er. Brother Feng has a bit of a temper. Now that you are pregnant again, you should let her go. Forget it, I will take your sisters back first, and I will come to chat with Brother Feng in the daytime tomorrow. By the way, if you are too busy, just let Qiaojie The old man and I were very happy to go to the east courtyard." As she spoke, Mrs. Xing took the two girls outside, saying that it was cold outside, and she walked away quickly without letting Jia Lian see her off. up.
Jia Lian... a little confused.
Just now, he can understand most of what Mrs. Xing said.Even when Mrs. Xing said that Wang Xifeng had a bad temper, he was still a little unhappy.But following the next sentence... "Zicuckoo!" Jia Lian suddenly raised the volume and called out loudly.
"Zicuckoo!" Sister Qiao didn't show the slightest fright. Instead, she screamed after Jia Lian, and because she was screaming at Jia Lian's ear, Jia Lian jumped up on the spot in fright, "clack cluck!"
"Bad girl! Let your mother deal with you later!" Jia Lian said bitterly.
Zijuan just lifted the curtain and left. Not only did this scene fall into her eyes, but Wang Xifeng in the inner room saw it squarely.If Zijuan was just snickering, then Wang Xifeng laughed out loud without restraint: "Second Master Lian, you still have today? Hmph, go on, I'll see what you two can do!"
"Brother Feng, just now the eldest lady said that you are pregnant, what is going on?" At this moment, Jia Lian's eyes were full of Mrs. Xing's words, and she didn't care that she was being laughed at by Wang Xifeng.From childhood to adulthood, he was often ridiculed by Wang Xifeng's jokes.
"I'm pregnant, it's as simple as that." Wang Xifeng grinned, not forgetting to wink at Jia Lian.Now, the expression on Jia Lian's face was wonderful, it was half surprised and half frightened, mixed with unbelievable and dreamy expression like living in a dream.
In a word, silly.
Leaving aside Jia Lian who was stunned by the sudden good news, Wang Xifeng's trace of resentment just now has disappeared without a trace.Ask Zijuan to take Qiaojie over and place her on the kang table, while Wang Xifeng sits on the top of the kang, leaning on the soft cushion, squinting at Qiaojie.
Qiaojie's big dark eyes were flickering. After the initial bewilderment, she soon showed Wang Xifeng her innocent smile with missing teeth: "Mother..." with a strong saliva.
At this time, some voices came from the yard, and after a while Feng'er said loudly under the window: "Grandma, the old lady sent something here." After a while, Feng'er said again, "The second wife also sent People are here, and Miss Lin's safety is also here."
"Zijuan, you go out to help Feng'er, remember to talk to Pingan more." Wang Xifeng glanced at Zijuan, Zijuan hurriedly agreed, and quickly left the inner room.
The courtyard outside didn't seem very noisy, but there were quite a few footsteps.After a quarter of an hour, the courtyard finally became quiet.But at this moment, Sister Qiao was tired of laughing, half of her body was lying on the kang table, she only turned her small head towards Wang Xifeng, her face was full of grievances.
"Little girl, fight with your mother, you are too young!" Wang Xifeng said triumphantly.
Jia Lian on the side smiled very obsequiously. If it was in the past, he would have helped Qiaojie, but now he echoed Wang Xifeng repeatedly: "Brother Feng, you are right, Qiaojie is just a little girl. If you want to scold, you can scold and hit me...cough cough, hit me to vent your anger." It is necessary to agree, but after all, Miss Qiao is too young, and Jia Lian is still very reluctant.
Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes at him, tapped the kang table with his fingers, with a pensive expression on his face, and said to Jia Lian after a while, "Second Master Lian, I suspect that the wife is pretending to be sick."
"Who? Isn't the eldest wife alive and kicking?" Jia Lian sat down next to Wang Xifeng, and stretched out her hand cautiously towards Wang Xifeng's lower abdomen.
"I'm talking about the second wife! Also, even if I don't know a whole lot of Chinese characters, the eldest wife can't just be alive and kicking? You're the good girl who messed around all day long!" Wang Xifeng gave Jia Lian an angry look. , Seeing Jia Lian stretching out his hand again, he hurriedly raised his hand on the back of his hand, "Go away and take your precious girl!"
Jia Lian looked up at her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and thought about what she said just now, and then asked tentatively, "Brother Feng, are you trying to tell me something serious?"
"Of course it's a matter of business." Wang Xifeng glanced at Sister Qiao, saw her half body lying on the kang table, curled her lips aggrieved, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to push Jia Lian, "Hold Sister Qiao quickly, she is about to cry. Seeing that Jia Lian stretched out his hand and hugged Qiaojie in his arms like a gracious, Wang Xifeng told the story of today's matter.
First, when he greeted her in the morning, Wang Xifeng found that Mrs. Wang, who came earlier than anyone else every day, had disappeared. After inquiring, she learned that Mrs. Wang had fallen ill. It is said that there was a sign a few days ago, but today When I was about to get up in the morning, I realized that I was a little seriously ill.Jia Mu never forced Mrs. Wang, but also ordered Lai Da to ask the doctor to come and show Mrs. Wang, but the others said nothing.It's just that, as an elder, Jia's mother can do whatever she wants, but Wang Xifeng is a junior and the niece of Mrs. Wang's natal family, so she has to visit her no matter what.Therefore, when she returned to the courtyard from Rongqing Hall, Wang Xifeng had already made plans to go to Rongxi Hall to see her sick just waiting for a change of clean clothes.
As a result, before the clothes were found, Wang Xifeng felt very bad about herself.She didn't want to go to Rongxi Hall in the first place, but if she seized this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity, could she not take advantage of it?
"Oh, I was really pretending to be sick this morning. At that moment, I felt a little dizzy, and then my hand shook, and the teacup fell to the ground. Thinking that I could escape this drudgery by being sick, I immediately asked Zicuckoo to run for me, and then called the doctor to take a look at it for me. I was thinking that the doctor would prescribe a prescription for Taiping, and it would be okay to prescribe a prescription for tonic in winter. Who would have thought... "
Wang Xifeng really didn't expect that she was pregnant.As soon as he came, there was no idle time in the past few months.Secondly, her sunflower water is not very stable, sometimes it comes only once a month or two, besides, she saw her popularity last month, but the amount is not much.And third, she has the memory of her previous life.
Sometimes, Wang Xifeng also thinks whether it is a good thing to have the memory of the previous life.Of course, in the end, she still thinks those memories are very precious treasures to her.But what I have to admit is that most of the time, she will be blinded by the memory of her previous life.
At this time in her previous life, she was not pregnant at all.However, she and Jia Lian weren't that close at that time, at least Jia Lian's cheating was common.
"Second Master Lian, Ping'er has already left the house, and now I'm pregnant again. You...or else, I'll make fun of Zijuan?" Wang Xifeng said to Jia Lian with a smile, but the smile was a little too bright, brilliant So much so that Jia Lian didn't dare to look directly at her at all, and incidentally hugged Sister Qiao tightly.
Seeing that Jia Lian didn't speak for a long time, Wang Xifeng suddenly pulled his face down: "Second Master Lian is worried that I'm too jealous, and I can't even tolerate a housemaid?"
Jia Lian shivered subconsciously, only felt that the heating kang seemed to be not too hot, and seeing that there was already a serious chill on Wang Xifeng's face, he hurriedly said: "You are not only smelling too strong of vinegar, but the whole Rongguo Mansion is so hot. I can smell the vinegar smell on you! Cough cough, I mean... just now the eldest wife said that she would help us take care of Qiao Jie, or else I will take care of Qiao Jie in the future? Yo!"
Qiaojie slapped Jia Lian.
"Hahahaha!" Wang Xifeng laughed like crazy, and it took a long time to calm down, half laughing and half annoyed, "Second Master Lian is so capable that he is willing to take care of Qiaojie himself. It's a pity, a pity, it's not rare! "
"Little girl, watch how I deal with you!" Jia Lian resentfully put Qiaojie face down on her knees, raised her hand high, and gently landed on Qiaojie's buttocks, "It's still troublesome." No? No trouble?"
"Mother, mother, mother!" Sister Qiao was frightened, and hurriedly stretched out her hand in the direction of Wang Xifeng.She is a typical scumbag, and she has changed the door many times in just such a short period of time.
"Second Master Lian, you can do me a favor, don't make a fuss? I'm talking to you about something serious, but you tell me, is the second wife pretending to be sick? Don't tell me the rhetoric of Zijuan. I know that it is not uncommon for the second wife to fall ill, but is this too coincidental? It is only a few days before the New Year's Eve, when the old lady says anything, she will let sister-in-law Zhu and the third sister come out for a reunion I don't believe it, when sister-in-law Zhu sees Lan'er, she will make trouble!"
"Trouble, of course it's going to be trouble. If I know what's going on, I'm afraid I'll rush forward and scratch the second wife's old face." Jia Lian finally let Qiao Jie go, and hugged her again, He tapped her forehead with his hand, signaling her to be more honest.
"So I've already decided that I won't attend the New Year's Eve banquet under the pretext of being unwell. If the second wife also makes up her mind not to attend, God knows what sister-in-law Zhu will do. If it's left on weekdays , I don't care, but now... hmph, I don't want to mess with those nonsense things!"
"Sure, sister Qiao doesn't have to go when the time comes, lest the eldest wife has to take care of the second and fourth younger sisters and can't take care of her. As for the other side of the second room, feel free to let them bite the dog." Jia Lian paused, then said, "If it's possible, I'd like to help the second wife, for example, let her recover as soon as possible, so that she can attend the New Year's Eve banquet."
"Go and talk to the Grand Master, maybe he will have a solution."
Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng looked at each other, and they both showed identical smiles.Although it's a little unkind to push the offending matter to Jia She, but if Jia She flocks to him, it doesn't matter much.
In the next few days, Jia Lian left early and returned late. According to him, he was busy discussing important matters with Jia Amnesty.However, Wang Xifeng speculated that at most Jia Lian would be ordered around by Jia Amnesty, and even if there were really big things to do, Jia Lian would still run errands.Wang Xifeng, on the other hand, originally thought that after the news of her pregnancy came out, she would be able to live a happy life of eating, drinking, and sleeping well. She never thought that she has been busy receiving guests from all walks of life for the past few days. It came empty-handed, so although Wang Xifeng was a little tired, his mood became more and more high.
Among the many congratulatory gifts, the most honorable one was a jasper statue of Avalokitesvara sent by Jia Mu. It is good to receive and offer.
However, relatively speaking, Wang Xifeng loves the gift from Xue's family very much.The Xue family only came to visit her on the fifth day after the news came out, and they apologized as soon as they came, saying that they were negligent.But Wang Xifeng knew that the Xue family's mother and daughter were worried about colliding with other guests. After all, compared with other relatives in Rongguo Mansion, the Xue family seemed much weaker.But the gift from the Xue family was the most pleasing to Wang Xifeng among the many gifts - a stack of thick banknotes, a total of 1000 taels!
Except for the affordable Xue family, although the gifts from others were not bad, they were somewhat unsatisfactory.For example, Mrs. Wang sent aged ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, deer antler, etc., as well as some prepared pills.Although pregnancy is to strengthen the body, but all the medicinal materials and pills are given all at once, no matter how you look at it, you feel the diaphragm.Wang Xifeng really couldn't figure out how he had offended Mrs. Wang, thinking that these things were worth money, she simply accepted them cheerfully, and then asked Jia Lian to take them out and sell them for money.
There is also Daiyu, who lives in Jia's mansion as a guest, and sends a volume of Buddhist scriptures copied by herself every day, and asks Pingan to tell Wang Xifeng that she will pray for Wang Xifeng and the child in her belly in front of the Lord Buddha every day.The implication was really good, and it was sincere, but Wang Xifeng thought it over, and still felt that Xue's gift was really good, presumably either because Daiyu was too elegant, or because she was too vulgar.
In addition, people also came from the other side of the East Mansion. Qin Keqing, the grandma of Xiaorong, came here personally with congratulatory gifts. They were all good things, including tonics and hairpin rings, but Wang Xifeng didn't say a word to her. It's just an excuse to send off guests with a headache.Zijuan is no better than Ping'er, but she has never noticed that there is a problem. She only thinks that Wang Xifeng is far away from Dongfu.
Afterwards, for example, Wang Xifeng's natal family and Shi Xiangyun, who had returned home, entrusted someone to send congratulatory gifts.In addition, it was the end of the new year, and some people who didn't know that Wang Xifeng was pregnant and only planned to give a New Year's gift, heard about it, and added another one.
In just a few days, Wang Xifeng's private treasury had many more good things.Even if the gifts given by most people are not very to her liking, because of the wealth of the Rongguo Mansion, no matter how bad those things are, they can still be exchanged for a lot of money.
The day before the New Year's Eve, Wang Xifeng asked Zijuan to take out the account book again, carefully calculated the harvest of these days, and combined with the market prices of the past two years, estimated how much money they would get after selling these things.Suddenly, Wang Xifeng remembered something.If she remembers correctly, after the concubine was conferred in Yuanchun in the previous life, the sage ordered all the mansions to repair the courtyards to welcome the concubines to visit relatives. At that time, the prices of all kinds of antique jade articles skyrocketed.Even the most common blue bricks, earth and stones are more than two or three times more expensive than in previous years.If these things in her hand can be kept until then and sold, they can make a lot of money.Thinking deeper, if you can search for more good things before then, and hoard them before selling them...
So what if the Rongguo Mansion collapses in the future?As long as the big house can escape and she has money on hand, what does it matter to her whether the Rongguo Mansion will prosper or fail?
Just as she was happily thinking about the future, Zijuan ran into the inner room with a face full of excitement, and brought a small gust of wind: "Grandma!"
Wang Xifeng looked at her curiously, didn't quite understand what kind of good things had happened to make her so successful, and immediately asked in surprise: "Did you pick up the money?"
"Grandma, what are you talking about?" Zijuan couldn't laugh or cry.
"That's when you meet your sweetheart! However, Zijuan, I'm not letting you go out, but you are several years younger than Ping'er, so you're not in such a hurry. Besides, sister Qiao is also young now, I'm pregnant again, but it's inconvenient for you to go out immediately." Of course Wang Xifeng knew that this was impossible, but she couldn't help teasing Zijuan.
Zijuan is different from the thick-skinned Feng'er, she was blushed immediately by Wang Xifeng's words, subconsciously covered her face with her hands, and then said angrily: "Grandma knows how to laugh at me, I am not here to report to grandma Is it? Grandma..."
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you, but you can tell me, what's the good thing?"
Seeing Wang Xifeng's reckless appearance, Zijuan really didn't know what to do.He was so cruel that he simply pretended that there was nothing wrong with it, just lowered his head to Wang Xifeng and said very quickly: "There are two pieces of news, one is that there is a letter from Rongxitang, saying that the second wife's illness has recovered. It's almost time, and I will definitely be able to participate in the small family banquet tomorrow. Second, the east courtyard first called a little maid over, saying that the congratulatory gift is already on the way, and it will be delivered to us in the time of a cup of tea at most. In the yard."
Wang Xifeng sat half leaning on the kang, and after hearing Zijuan's words, she was not very interested in the first news. No matter how angry Li Wan was, and Jia Lan was not in danger, she couldn't really die. Mrs. Wang.It was the news later that she had to pay attention to.
"The congratulatory gift from the east courtyard? Zijuan, is it because your grandma is getting old and confused, or are you making a mistake? How can I remember that the eldest wife gave it to me in person after the doctor announced that I was pregnant?" Come over with a congratulatory gift."
"Yes, yes, yes." Zijuan answered three yeses in a row, but the expression on her face returned to normal, and she just smiled, "Grandma is not confused, and I have never made a mistake. The eldest lady, the second girl, the fourth The girl did bring a congratulatory gift, but this time it is indeed the maid from the east courtyard who came to report the news. I guess, the old man thought the previous congratulatory gift was not generous enough, so he added something else?"
Wang Xifeng didn't speak for a while.
In good conscience, gift-giving was originally a matter for female relatives. Even if colleagues congratulated each other, the person who prepared the gifts would only be female relatives in the backyard.As for her matter, since Mrs. Xing has already given a congratulatory gift, regardless of whether the gift is heavy or not, as a husband, Jia She can't demolish his wife.It's a pity, for Jia Amnesty, probably there is no concept of dismantling the stage at all?
In a daze, Feng'er in the courtyard had already called the little maid to come over to help, but it was the congratulatory gift from the east courtyard that arrived.
Considering that it was cold outside and he was busy packing things, Wang Xifeng didn't plan to go out at first.It wasn't until the gift boxes were carried to the outer room of the main room and tidied up that Wang Xifeng walked out of the inner room slowly with Zijuan's support.
There are ten large boxes, not the exquisite small boxes that were given to Qiaojie as a gift last time, but a large red-lacquered camphorwood box carried by four people.Of course, the people who carried the boxes had all left now, leaving only a familiar looking maid standing beside Feng'er and laughing with her.
Wang Xifeng called the maid to come forward and answer.
"I've met Second Grandma Lian, please greet Second Grandma Lian, and wish Second Grandma Lian good health and all the best." Since she can be specially selected as a gift, she must be a smart person.The servant girl saluted first, and then replied with a smile, "The old man was very busy a few days ago, and he couldn't find time to organize the congratulatory gifts. No, the old man was suddenly idle yesterday, so he ordered someone to take care of him." After collecting ten boxes of things, I told my maidservant to tell Lian's Second Mistress specifically that it was the eldest wife who didn't make a deal before, so she gave a small gift, and it wasn't that he didn't value Lian's Second Master and Lian's Second Mistress."
These words... are definitely Jia She's original words, even if the maid made some embellishments, it still can't hide the feeling of being beaten between these words.
Even if Mrs. Xing really didn't think carefully, there's no need to say it out loud?This is no longer a demolition, but a slap in the face.Fortunately, Wang Xifeng was very aware of Jia She and Mrs. Xing's temperament, since she would not think that Jia She deliberately shamed Mrs. Xing, nor would she misunderstand that Mrs. Xing deliberately neglected her.
However, after the big camphor wood box was opened and displayed in front of Wang Xifeng, she was overjoyed.
There are no antique jade articles with a history, but all of them are vulgar gold and silver objects that Wang Xifeng likes most.Two boxes of old, clumsy and vulgar red gold heads, three boxes of dazzlingly colorful brocades, three boxes of red gold or gold-plated ornaments of different sizes, and the last two boxes are even more unique, all of which are extremely gorgeous. (cheesy) kid stuff.
Wang Xifeng: "..."
First she was overjoyed, then immediately questioned Jia She's taste, and then she started to reflect on herself. Obviously, all the things in these ten boxes revealed a vulgar taste, why would she do this?
Involuntarily, Wang Xifeng thought back to her previous life when she learned that Qiao Jie was sold by Wang Ren, at that moment she was full of anger and resentment, if Wang Ren was in front of her at that time, she would definitely pounce on her like a wild beast and tear her to pieces. Bite, it is a feeling of completely losing reason, wishing to die with it.
Never underestimate the cruelty of a mother.
"Is the second wife really sick?" Wang Xifeng asked as if muttering to herself.
Because there were only Wang Xifeng and Zijuan in the room, although the tone of the words did not sound like a question, Zijuan still replied: "Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, it must be true? I have heard about it a long time ago. My wife has lost a lot of weight these days, and now it's a cold day, so it's not weird to fall ill..."
I have to say that Zicuckoo's words still make sense.Mrs. Wang fainted once a few months ago, and that time was really in danger. Even the imperial doctor said that whether she can be rescued depends on Mrs. Wang's own luck.Later, because of Jia Lan's incident, Mrs. Wang was tossed by Jia Mu in different ways. Even though she didn't suffer any physical injuries, the pressure Jia Mu put on was definitely not something ordinary people could bear.What's more, there are Jia Zheng's indifferent behavior and the extra concubines in the house.
It's normal for Mrs. Wang to be ill, and she even feels it's a matter of course.
But Wang Xifeng was still full of doubts, and only after hearing that Zijuan had just mentioned Li Wan did he suddenly become suspicious.
"Zicuckoo, guess what, if sister-in-law Zhu saw Lan Er's current appearance on Xiao'an New Year's Eve, what would she do?"
"Is she angry, or is she crying?" Zijuan was a little uncertain, firstly, she was not familiar with Li Wan, and secondly, she could not understand the heart of a mother.However, even so, Zicuckoo also felt that this matter was quite tricky.But the problem is, Li Wan's speech to the outside world is to pray for Jia Zhu who died young. Under such circumstances, she can't let her have a bad life for years, right?It's okay if it's Tanchun, the left and right are just a little girl who hasn't left the cabinet, and there is no one outside the house to make decisions for her.If it were Li Wan, it would be a big deal, aside from that, the Rongguo Mansion has a lot of relatives, even if Li Wan is a widow and grandma, there is no reason why he has to let people see guests.Even if they don't see any guests...the Li family will send New Year's gifts on time every year, why can't even Li Wan's natal family not be allowed to see her?If the Rongguo Mansion really did this, they would lose face.
However, for Zijuan, she would not think deeply about the question of whether the Rongguo Mansion should be ashamed or not. From the beginning to the end, what she thought of was another thing: "Grandma, although this matter has nothing to do with grandma. It doesn't matter too much, but I'm worried, if grandma Zhu gets into trouble, what should I do if I accidentally bump into grandma?"
This is what Zicuckoo is most worried about.Similarly, this is also the reason why Zijuan clearly thought of Li Wan's troubles earlier, but never reminded Wang Xifeng.In fact, Li Wan would never intentionally come to Wang Xifeng, and therefore, before knowing that Wang Xifeng was pregnant, Zijuan was not very worried.But now, the nature of the matter is quite different.
"I know, the big deal is that I will say that my bones are unwell, so I just don't go."
It's just a small New Year's Eve, as long as there is a good reason, it doesn't matter if you don't go.Not to mention that Wang Xifeng is pregnant now, even if she is childless and has no pet, if she is unwilling to participate, Mother Jia can't let her be tied up.The reason why he agreed to Li Wan's participation was for the sake of the Rongguo Mansion's face. In the same way, the Chinese New Year is to have fun with each other, even if it's just on the surface, no one is forcing people to come over to make amends.
Hearing what Wang Xifeng said, Zijuan let out a sigh of relief.However, after thinking about it carefully, Zijuan said again: "It doesn't matter if you don't participate in the New Year's Eve, but what about the New Year's Eve? Grandma still finds excuses not to go?"
"Are you kidding me?" Wang Xifeng glanced at Zijuan, and said angrily, "Sister-in-law Zhu is making a fuss on New Year's Eve, can the old lady let her come out to dance again?"
If this is the case, Mother Jia will be stomping her own face on the ground!As for finding an appropriate reason at that time, that is something Jia Mu should consider.If Wang Xifeng is free, she can also help out with ideas and gain a wave of favorability in front of Jiamu.
Zijuan was finally completely relieved, she neither wanted Wang Xifeng to have any accidents, but also hoped that Wang Xifeng would participate in all the major events of Rongguo Mansion.After all, as a personal servant girl, her future blessings and misfortunes are closely related to her master.
"Zijuan, remember to ask for more information when you look back, especially about the second wife. If Rongxitang is tight-lipped, try to go elsewhere. By the way, don't let Yiciyuan go, good thing Don't be stingy, just send it there, it's not bad for our family. As for the news, in the past, Ping'er and Sister Lin had a good relationship with Ping'an in front of her. If you think about it, she is a transparent person, and you can continue to go to her Use your strength." Smart people will not refuse to have an ally, especially in the Rongguo Mansion, Daiyu is just a guest, but Wang Xifeng is someone who can really talk.
"Yes, I will follow Grandma's orders."
Because she had had enough rest, Wang Xifeng, supported by Zijuan, went back to the inner room and took a nap on the bed.Originally, I thought that I would be too excited to fall asleep when I got the good news for the first time, but I never thought that after actually touching the pillow, Wang Xifeng would soon fall into a deep sleep.When he woke up again, it was already almost two hours.
"You girl didn't know to wake me up earlier. By the way, is the eldest lady here?" Wang Xifeng remembered Zijuan reminding her that Mrs. Xing would come to see her after her afternoon nap, so she asked this question.
Zijuan responded with a smile: "Here we are. I heard that grandma is taking a nap, so the eldest wife went to the east room. Sister Qiao woke up earlier than grandma, and soon she was with the eldest wife, the second girl and the fourth girl." We went to play together, and even pissed on the eldest wife."
"...Pfft!" Wang Xifeng originally wanted to urge Zijuan to move faster, both sides were in her own yard, and there was no need to fiddle with so many hairpins.As a result, before he finished his urging words, he heard Zijuan make a fortune, and he couldn't help but laughed outright.
"I knew grandma used to gloat, but the eldest wife also laughed at that moment, and only said that if she had taken sister Qiao's pee decades earlier, maybe she would still be happy."
"Hahaha, it's still decades earlier! In the past 20 years, I didn't even have a baby!" Wang Xifeng laughed, but she was much more energetic.Seeing that it was almost done, Wang Xifeng just took a gold hairpin inlaid with pearls and put it on, then turned and went outside.
The little maid outside got the news a long time ago and hurriedly led Mrs. Xing and others into the main hall, so when Wang Xifeng went out, everyone was already waiting for her.In addition to Mrs. Xing, Yingchun, and Xichun that Zijuan just mentioned, even sister Qiao is there.
"I've seen my wife, I've saluted my wife." Wang Xifeng greeted her with a smile, and immediately saw Qiaojie who was being hugged by Mrs. Xing. I heard that you did something bad today, and I will let your father deal with you later."
"Don't worry, sister Qiao is very nice and well-behaved." Interrupted by Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Xing swallowed back what she was going to say, praising sister Qiao all the time.After a while, under Yingchun's reminder, she remembered that she was here to congratulate her. Mrs. Xing hurriedly asked for a gift, and said, "Brother Feng, it is a big deal for you to be happy, and I don't have any other good things. I only picked out a few auspicious decorations for you. But the second and fourth girls made a lot of purses, sachets and other things before, and gave them to you together."
Before Wang Xifeng could speak, Yingchun and Xichun stepped forward to wish them well, and said together: "Congratulations to my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law is very happy, and I will have a precious son next year." These little gadgets are just for my sister-in-law to reward people during the Chinese New Year, and my sister and I will make some better ones later, and use them for sister Qiao and the little nephew who will come out next year."
Although it was just a child's flattering words, to Wang Xifeng's ears, it was really comforting.Just think about it, who doesn't like flattery?Besides, Mrs. Xing and the other three were sincere.
"Then I would like to thank my wife and the two younger sisters for your kind words." Wang Xifeng had a relaxed smile on his face, but after seeing Sister Qiao's expression, he gave her a bitter look.
At this moment, Miss Qiao was still being held in Mrs. Xing's arms. Originally, with her temperament, she would definitely rush towards Wang Xifeng when she saw Wang Xifeng.The problem is, this little girl is a ghost, and she listened to Wang Xifeng's joking words about cleaning her up just now, but now she is looking at Wang Xifeng with a solemn face, but she hugged Mrs. Xing's neck tightly and said Don't let go of anything.
Wang Xifeng was angry and funny, so she deliberately frightened her with a straight face: "Sister Qiao, are you going to be naughty in the future? Huh?"
Qiaojie blinked her eyes wide, as if she was discerning the meaning of Wang Xifeng's words. After a while, she twisted her waist and buried her little head in Mrs. Xing's neck. It seemed that she was really frightened.At this moment, Wang Xifeng felt a little regretful, she didn't really intend to scare her precious daughter, she was thinking bitterly how to coax her back without losing face, but Madam Xing suddenly opened her mouth.
"Brother Feng, I see you are very busy here, why don't you let sister Qiao stay with me for a few days first?"
"...Hehe, I'm actually not too busy. The housekeeper was returned to the second wife earlier. Although the second wife is sick now, I think she has no shortage of people under her command. As for sister Qiao, there are also nurses on the left and right. Mama will take it with you, if you don't tire me, I won't bother you, Madam." Wang Xifeng smiled awkwardly, she really never thought about sending sister Qiao out.
But when these words fell into Mrs. Xing's ears, it was another matter: "Brother Feng, you are also so alien, I really want to help you take care of Qiaojie. Besides, I usually It's nothing, the second girl and the fourth girl are so old, there is nothing I need to worry about, I can really take care of it, and I will never be tired."
Wang Xifeng really wanted to support her forehead and sigh. She really wasn't worried that she would tire Mrs. Xing. It was just a polite remark just now. In fact, she just simply couldn't bear her daughter to leave her.
Just when Wang Xifeng was hesitating how to tell Mrs. Xing about it tactfully, Jia Lian returned early.But obviously, Jia Lian never expected to see Mrs. Xing here. In fact, although the two were called mother and son, they were no different from strangers, and they hadn't even seen each other for many days.Fortunately, strangers are strangers, but it does not prevent Jia Lian from saluting.Therefore, Jia Lian saluted Mrs. Xing first, and then Wang Xifeng, Yingchun, and Xichun also saluted Jia Lian in turn.
Then...
"Yo, my little ancestor, what are you doing? Didn't I visit you when I went out in the morning? You miss me so much?" Jia Lian hurriedly took Qiaojie from Madam Xing. It's not that he was impatient, but that after the initial daze, Qiaojie was like a shooting star, and she fell directly from Mrs. Xing's hand.
"Father! Mother is bad, mother is bad, bad is bad!" As soon as Sister Qiao fell into Jia Lian's arms, she complained loudly.The complaints were made behind their backs, and it was only sister Qiao who kept complaining in front of Wang Xifeng, and even made a small appearance of being extremely wronged.
Wang Xifeng was so angry that she rolled her eyes, Zijuan hurriedly gave Wang Xifeng a good look, but when she turned her head, she was secretly laughing.On the other hand, Jia Lian looked at his wife and daughter in a daze, and said suspiciously after a while, "Brother Feng, what are you doing again?"
"What am I doing? Second Master Lian, why don't you ask what your good girl is doing? Huh, little girl, you should dare to sue your mother for a crime, and see how I deal with you later!" Wang Xifeng hated He stared hatefully.
But this time, she couldn't bluff Qiaojie anymore. She turned her head and made a face at Wang Xifeng, then slapped her hands and giggled, completely saying "I have a backing, I'm not afraid of you" Uncle looks like.
The room was silent for a moment, and then everyone couldn't help laughing out loud, even Yingchun, who was the least talkative, couldn't help lowering his head and covering his mouth with a handkerchief and sniggering.But the ones who laughed the most were Jia Lian, sister Qiao, father and daughter.
Father: "Hahahaha..."
When the girl: "Hehehehe..."
Wang Xifeng glared angrily, and immediately pulled Zijuan, and shouted: "Go, let's ignore these two bastards, big and small are like this! Hmph!" After finishing speaking, Wang Xifeng turned around and went to the inner room, Zijuan hurriedly He covered his mouth and followed, and was afraid that Wang Xifeng would walk too quickly, so he half trotted and half stretched out his hands to support him.
Seeing that Wang Xifeng really ran away in a fit of anger, Jia Lian still didn't understand, and laughed again before saying to Mrs. Xing, "Don't worry, Mrs. Feng. Brother Feng and I are used to messing around. It's okay." Sister Qiao didn't slap her hands now, but patted her chest with her small hands and said in agreement: "It's okay!"
Mrs. Xing didn't laugh very much, but she laughed out her tears. After hearing Jia Lian's words, she waved her hands helplessly, and said, "You really are, Lian'er. Brother Feng has a bit of a temper. Now that you are pregnant again, you should let her go. Forget it, I will take your sisters back first, and I will come to chat with Brother Feng in the daytime tomorrow. By the way, if you are too busy, just let Qiaojie The old man and I were very happy to go to the east courtyard." As she spoke, Mrs. Xing took the two girls outside, saying that it was cold outside, and she walked away quickly without letting Jia Lian see her off. up.
Jia Lian... a little confused.
Just now, he can understand most of what Mrs. Xing said.Even when Mrs. Xing said that Wang Xifeng had a bad temper, he was still a little unhappy.But following the next sentence... "Zicuckoo!" Jia Lian suddenly raised the volume and called out loudly.
"Zicuckoo!" Sister Qiao didn't show the slightest fright. Instead, she screamed after Jia Lian, and because she was screaming at Jia Lian's ear, Jia Lian jumped up on the spot in fright, "clack cluck!"
"Bad girl! Let your mother deal with you later!" Jia Lian said bitterly.
Zijuan just lifted the curtain and left. Not only did this scene fall into her eyes, but Wang Xifeng in the inner room saw it squarely.If Zijuan was just snickering, then Wang Xifeng laughed out loud without restraint: "Second Master Lian, you still have today? Hmph, go on, I'll see what you two can do!"
"Brother Feng, just now the eldest lady said that you are pregnant, what is going on?" At this moment, Jia Lian's eyes were full of Mrs. Xing's words, and she didn't care that she was being laughed at by Wang Xifeng.From childhood to adulthood, he was often ridiculed by Wang Xifeng's jokes.
"I'm pregnant, it's as simple as that." Wang Xifeng grinned, not forgetting to wink at Jia Lian.Now, the expression on Jia Lian's face was wonderful, it was half surprised and half frightened, mixed with unbelievable and dreamy expression like living in a dream.
In a word, silly.
Leaving aside Jia Lian who was stunned by the sudden good news, Wang Xifeng's trace of resentment just now has disappeared without a trace.Ask Zijuan to take Qiaojie over and place her on the kang table, while Wang Xifeng sits on the top of the kang, leaning on the soft cushion, squinting at Qiaojie.
Qiaojie's big dark eyes were flickering. After the initial bewilderment, she soon showed Wang Xifeng her innocent smile with missing teeth: "Mother..." with a strong saliva.
At this time, some voices came from the yard, and after a while Feng'er said loudly under the window: "Grandma, the old lady sent something here." After a while, Feng'er said again, "The second wife also sent People are here, and Miss Lin's safety is also here."
"Zijuan, you go out to help Feng'er, remember to talk to Pingan more." Wang Xifeng glanced at Zijuan, Zijuan hurriedly agreed, and quickly left the inner room.
The courtyard outside didn't seem very noisy, but there were quite a few footsteps.After a quarter of an hour, the courtyard finally became quiet.But at this moment, Sister Qiao was tired of laughing, half of her body was lying on the kang table, she only turned her small head towards Wang Xifeng, her face was full of grievances.
"Little girl, fight with your mother, you are too young!" Wang Xifeng said triumphantly.
Jia Lian on the side smiled very obsequiously. If it was in the past, he would have helped Qiaojie, but now he echoed Wang Xifeng repeatedly: "Brother Feng, you are right, Qiaojie is just a little girl. If you want to scold, you can scold and hit me...cough cough, hit me to vent your anger." It is necessary to agree, but after all, Miss Qiao is too young, and Jia Lian is still very reluctant.
Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes at him, tapped the kang table with his fingers, with a pensive expression on his face, and said to Jia Lian after a while, "Second Master Lian, I suspect that the wife is pretending to be sick."
"Who? Isn't the eldest wife alive and kicking?" Jia Lian sat down next to Wang Xifeng, and stretched out her hand cautiously towards Wang Xifeng's lower abdomen.
"I'm talking about the second wife! Also, even if I don't know a whole lot of Chinese characters, the eldest wife can't just be alive and kicking? You're the good girl who messed around all day long!" Wang Xifeng gave Jia Lian an angry look. , Seeing Jia Lian stretching out his hand again, he hurriedly raised his hand on the back of his hand, "Go away and take your precious girl!"
Jia Lian looked up at her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and thought about what she said just now, and then asked tentatively, "Brother Feng, are you trying to tell me something serious?"
"Of course it's a matter of business." Wang Xifeng glanced at Sister Qiao, saw her half body lying on the kang table, curled her lips aggrieved, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to push Jia Lian, "Hold Sister Qiao quickly, she is about to cry. Seeing that Jia Lian stretched out his hand and hugged Qiaojie in his arms like a gracious, Wang Xifeng told the story of today's matter.
First, when he greeted her in the morning, Wang Xifeng found that Mrs. Wang, who came earlier than anyone else every day, had disappeared. After inquiring, she learned that Mrs. Wang had fallen ill. It is said that there was a sign a few days ago, but today When I was about to get up in the morning, I realized that I was a little seriously ill.Jia Mu never forced Mrs. Wang, but also ordered Lai Da to ask the doctor to come and show Mrs. Wang, but the others said nothing.It's just that, as an elder, Jia's mother can do whatever she wants, but Wang Xifeng is a junior and the niece of Mrs. Wang's natal family, so she has to visit her no matter what.Therefore, when she returned to the courtyard from Rongqing Hall, Wang Xifeng had already made plans to go to Rongxi Hall to see her sick just waiting for a change of clean clothes.
As a result, before the clothes were found, Wang Xifeng felt very bad about herself.She didn't want to go to Rongxi Hall in the first place, but if she seized this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity, could she not take advantage of it?
"Oh, I was really pretending to be sick this morning. At that moment, I felt a little dizzy, and then my hand shook, and the teacup fell to the ground. Thinking that I could escape this drudgery by being sick, I immediately asked Zicuckoo to run for me, and then called the doctor to take a look at it for me. I was thinking that the doctor would prescribe a prescription for Taiping, and it would be okay to prescribe a prescription for tonic in winter. Who would have thought... "
Wang Xifeng really didn't expect that she was pregnant.As soon as he came, there was no idle time in the past few months.Secondly, her sunflower water is not very stable, sometimes it comes only once a month or two, besides, she saw her popularity last month, but the amount is not much.And third, she has the memory of her previous life.
Sometimes, Wang Xifeng also thinks whether it is a good thing to have the memory of the previous life.Of course, in the end, she still thinks those memories are very precious treasures to her.But what I have to admit is that most of the time, she will be blinded by the memory of her previous life.
At this time in her previous life, she was not pregnant at all.However, she and Jia Lian weren't that close at that time, at least Jia Lian's cheating was common.
"Second Master Lian, Ping'er has already left the house, and now I'm pregnant again. You...or else, I'll make fun of Zijuan?" Wang Xifeng said to Jia Lian with a smile, but the smile was a little too bright, brilliant So much so that Jia Lian didn't dare to look directly at her at all, and incidentally hugged Sister Qiao tightly.
Seeing that Jia Lian didn't speak for a long time, Wang Xifeng suddenly pulled his face down: "Second Master Lian is worried that I'm too jealous, and I can't even tolerate a housemaid?"
Jia Lian shivered subconsciously, only felt that the heating kang seemed to be not too hot, and seeing that there was already a serious chill on Wang Xifeng's face, he hurriedly said: "You are not only smelling too strong of vinegar, but the whole Rongguo Mansion is so hot. I can smell the vinegar smell on you! Cough cough, I mean... just now the eldest wife said that she would help us take care of Qiao Jie, or else I will take care of Qiao Jie in the future? Yo!"
Qiaojie slapped Jia Lian.
"Hahahaha!" Wang Xifeng laughed like crazy, and it took a long time to calm down, half laughing and half annoyed, "Second Master Lian is so capable that he is willing to take care of Qiaojie himself. It's a pity, a pity, it's not rare! "
"Little girl, watch how I deal with you!" Jia Lian resentfully put Qiaojie face down on her knees, raised her hand high, and gently landed on Qiaojie's buttocks, "It's still troublesome." No? No trouble?"
"Mother, mother, mother!" Sister Qiao was frightened, and hurriedly stretched out her hand in the direction of Wang Xifeng.She is a typical scumbag, and she has changed the door many times in just such a short period of time.
"Second Master Lian, you can do me a favor, don't make a fuss? I'm talking to you about something serious, but you tell me, is the second wife pretending to be sick? Don't tell me the rhetoric of Zijuan. I know that it is not uncommon for the second wife to fall ill, but is this too coincidental? It is only a few days before the New Year's Eve, when the old lady says anything, she will let sister-in-law Zhu and the third sister come out for a reunion I don't believe it, when sister-in-law Zhu sees Lan'er, she will make trouble!"
"Trouble, of course it's going to be trouble. If I know what's going on, I'm afraid I'll rush forward and scratch the second wife's old face." Jia Lian finally let Qiao Jie go, and hugged her again, He tapped her forehead with his hand, signaling her to be more honest.
"So I've already decided that I won't attend the New Year's Eve banquet under the pretext of being unwell. If the second wife also makes up her mind not to attend, God knows what sister-in-law Zhu will do. If it's left on weekdays , I don't care, but now... hmph, I don't want to mess with those nonsense things!"
"Sure, sister Qiao doesn't have to go when the time comes, lest the eldest wife has to take care of the second and fourth younger sisters and can't take care of her. As for the other side of the second room, feel free to let them bite the dog." Jia Lian paused, then said, "If it's possible, I'd like to help the second wife, for example, let her recover as soon as possible, so that she can attend the New Year's Eve banquet."
"Go and talk to the Grand Master, maybe he will have a solution."
Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng looked at each other, and they both showed identical smiles.Although it's a little unkind to push the offending matter to Jia She, but if Jia She flocks to him, it doesn't matter much.
In the next few days, Jia Lian left early and returned late. According to him, he was busy discussing important matters with Jia Amnesty.However, Wang Xifeng speculated that at most Jia Lian would be ordered around by Jia Amnesty, and even if there were really big things to do, Jia Lian would still run errands.Wang Xifeng, on the other hand, originally thought that after the news of her pregnancy came out, she would be able to live a happy life of eating, drinking, and sleeping well. She never thought that she has been busy receiving guests from all walks of life for the past few days. It came empty-handed, so although Wang Xifeng was a little tired, his mood became more and more high.
Among the many congratulatory gifts, the most honorable one was a jasper statue of Avalokitesvara sent by Jia Mu. It is good to receive and offer.
However, relatively speaking, Wang Xifeng loves the gift from Xue's family very much.The Xue family only came to visit her on the fifth day after the news came out, and they apologized as soon as they came, saying that they were negligent.But Wang Xifeng knew that the Xue family's mother and daughter were worried about colliding with other guests. After all, compared with other relatives in Rongguo Mansion, the Xue family seemed much weaker.But the gift from the Xue family was the most pleasing to Wang Xifeng among the many gifts - a stack of thick banknotes, a total of 1000 taels!
Except for the affordable Xue family, although the gifts from others were not bad, they were somewhat unsatisfactory.For example, Mrs. Wang sent aged ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, deer antler, etc., as well as some prepared pills.Although pregnancy is to strengthen the body, but all the medicinal materials and pills are given all at once, no matter how you look at it, you feel the diaphragm.Wang Xifeng really couldn't figure out how he had offended Mrs. Wang, thinking that these things were worth money, she simply accepted them cheerfully, and then asked Jia Lian to take them out and sell them for money.
There is also Daiyu, who lives in Jia's mansion as a guest, and sends a volume of Buddhist scriptures copied by herself every day, and asks Pingan to tell Wang Xifeng that she will pray for Wang Xifeng and the child in her belly in front of the Lord Buddha every day.The implication was really good, and it was sincere, but Wang Xifeng thought it over, and still felt that Xue's gift was really good, presumably either because Daiyu was too elegant, or because she was too vulgar.
In addition, people also came from the other side of the East Mansion. Qin Keqing, the grandma of Xiaorong, came here personally with congratulatory gifts. They were all good things, including tonics and hairpin rings, but Wang Xifeng didn't say a word to her. It's just an excuse to send off guests with a headache.Zijuan is no better than Ping'er, but she has never noticed that there is a problem. She only thinks that Wang Xifeng is far away from Dongfu.
Afterwards, for example, Wang Xifeng's natal family and Shi Xiangyun, who had returned home, entrusted someone to send congratulatory gifts.In addition, it was the end of the new year, and some people who didn't know that Wang Xifeng was pregnant and only planned to give a New Year's gift, heard about it, and added another one.
In just a few days, Wang Xifeng's private treasury had many more good things.Even if the gifts given by most people are not very to her liking, because of the wealth of the Rongguo Mansion, no matter how bad those things are, they can still be exchanged for a lot of money.
The day before the New Year's Eve, Wang Xifeng asked Zijuan to take out the account book again, carefully calculated the harvest of these days, and combined with the market prices of the past two years, estimated how much money they would get after selling these things.Suddenly, Wang Xifeng remembered something.If she remembers correctly, after the concubine was conferred in Yuanchun in the previous life, the sage ordered all the mansions to repair the courtyards to welcome the concubines to visit relatives. At that time, the prices of all kinds of antique jade articles skyrocketed.Even the most common blue bricks, earth and stones are more than two or three times more expensive than in previous years.If these things in her hand can be kept until then and sold, they can make a lot of money.Thinking deeper, if you can search for more good things before then, and hoard them before selling them...
So what if the Rongguo Mansion collapses in the future?As long as the big house can escape and she has money on hand, what does it matter to her whether the Rongguo Mansion will prosper or fail?
Just as she was happily thinking about the future, Zijuan ran into the inner room with a face full of excitement, and brought a small gust of wind: "Grandma!"
Wang Xifeng looked at her curiously, didn't quite understand what kind of good things had happened to make her so successful, and immediately asked in surprise: "Did you pick up the money?"
"Grandma, what are you talking about?" Zijuan couldn't laugh or cry.
"That's when you meet your sweetheart! However, Zijuan, I'm not letting you go out, but you are several years younger than Ping'er, so you're not in such a hurry. Besides, sister Qiao is also young now, I'm pregnant again, but it's inconvenient for you to go out immediately." Of course Wang Xifeng knew that this was impossible, but she couldn't help teasing Zijuan.
Zijuan is different from the thick-skinned Feng'er, she was blushed immediately by Wang Xifeng's words, subconsciously covered her face with her hands, and then said angrily: "Grandma knows how to laugh at me, I am not here to report to grandma Is it? Grandma..."
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you, but you can tell me, what's the good thing?"
Seeing Wang Xifeng's reckless appearance, Zijuan really didn't know what to do.He was so cruel that he simply pretended that there was nothing wrong with it, just lowered his head to Wang Xifeng and said very quickly: "There are two pieces of news, one is that there is a letter from Rongxitang, saying that the second wife's illness has recovered. It's almost time, and I will definitely be able to participate in the small family banquet tomorrow. Second, the east courtyard first called a little maid over, saying that the congratulatory gift is already on the way, and it will be delivered to us in the time of a cup of tea at most. In the yard."
Wang Xifeng sat half leaning on the kang, and after hearing Zijuan's words, she was not very interested in the first news. No matter how angry Li Wan was, and Jia Lan was not in danger, she couldn't really die. Mrs. Wang.It was the news later that she had to pay attention to.
"The congratulatory gift from the east courtyard? Zijuan, is it because your grandma is getting old and confused, or are you making a mistake? How can I remember that the eldest wife gave it to me in person after the doctor announced that I was pregnant?" Come over with a congratulatory gift."
"Yes, yes, yes." Zijuan answered three yeses in a row, but the expression on her face returned to normal, and she just smiled, "Grandma is not confused, and I have never made a mistake. The eldest lady, the second girl, the fourth The girl did bring a congratulatory gift, but this time it is indeed the maid from the east courtyard who came to report the news. I guess, the old man thought the previous congratulatory gift was not generous enough, so he added something else?"
Wang Xifeng didn't speak for a while.
In good conscience, gift-giving was originally a matter for female relatives. Even if colleagues congratulated each other, the person who prepared the gifts would only be female relatives in the backyard.As for her matter, since Mrs. Xing has already given a congratulatory gift, regardless of whether the gift is heavy or not, as a husband, Jia She can't demolish his wife.It's a pity, for Jia Amnesty, probably there is no concept of dismantling the stage at all?
In a daze, Feng'er in the courtyard had already called the little maid to come over to help, but it was the congratulatory gift from the east courtyard that arrived.
Considering that it was cold outside and he was busy packing things, Wang Xifeng didn't plan to go out at first.It wasn't until the gift boxes were carried to the outer room of the main room and tidied up that Wang Xifeng walked out of the inner room slowly with Zijuan's support.
There are ten large boxes, not the exquisite small boxes that were given to Qiaojie as a gift last time, but a large red-lacquered camphorwood box carried by four people.Of course, the people who carried the boxes had all left now, leaving only a familiar looking maid standing beside Feng'er and laughing with her.
Wang Xifeng called the maid to come forward and answer.
"I've met Second Grandma Lian, please greet Second Grandma Lian, and wish Second Grandma Lian good health and all the best." Since she can be specially selected as a gift, she must be a smart person.The servant girl saluted first, and then replied with a smile, "The old man was very busy a few days ago, and he couldn't find time to organize the congratulatory gifts. No, the old man was suddenly idle yesterday, so he ordered someone to take care of him." After collecting ten boxes of things, I told my maidservant to tell Lian's Second Mistress specifically that it was the eldest wife who didn't make a deal before, so she gave a small gift, and it wasn't that he didn't value Lian's Second Master and Lian's Second Mistress."
These words... are definitely Jia She's original words, even if the maid made some embellishments, it still can't hide the feeling of being beaten between these words.
Even if Mrs. Xing really didn't think carefully, there's no need to say it out loud?This is no longer a demolition, but a slap in the face.Fortunately, Wang Xifeng was very aware of Jia She and Mrs. Xing's temperament, since she would not think that Jia She deliberately shamed Mrs. Xing, nor would she misunderstand that Mrs. Xing deliberately neglected her.
However, after the big camphor wood box was opened and displayed in front of Wang Xifeng, she was overjoyed.
There are no antique jade articles with a history, but all of them are vulgar gold and silver objects that Wang Xifeng likes most.Two boxes of old, clumsy and vulgar red gold heads, three boxes of dazzlingly colorful brocades, three boxes of red gold or gold-plated ornaments of different sizes, and the last two boxes are even more unique, all of which are extremely gorgeous. (cheesy) kid stuff.
Wang Xifeng: "..."
First she was overjoyed, then immediately questioned Jia She's taste, and then she started to reflect on herself. Obviously, all the things in these ten boxes revealed a vulgar taste, why would she do this?
