Wang Xifeng's Rebirth [Red Mansion]
Chapter 115
In the right ear room of Rongxi Hall, Xiren was sitting alone on the footsteps beside the bed in the inner room, half-turned to face the bed, with his head down and weeping sadly.
Qingwen was punished and sent to her brother and sister-in-law, and she still doesn't know whether she is alive or dead.Although Mei Ren had never been beaten, she was personally accused by Mrs. Wang of collude with the young master, and she has such a weak temperament, I am afraid she will surely die.
But what does all this have to do with her?Why should all the crimes be blamed on her because she has never been blamed by Mrs. Wang?Was she the one who complained to Mrs. Wang?Or did she wish that everyone would die so that Baoyu could be alone?No, not at all, she dared to swear to God, she would never do any tricks, but unfortunately...
Rusting voices came from outside, striking but not deaf, one could tell that it was the little maid outside whispering.If it was still in Rongqing Hall, it might not be so obvious because it is used to being lively on weekdays.But this is the Rongxi Hall, a place with few people but a large place, and the Rongxi Hall that has always been known for its discipline and silence!
Xiren was angry and annoyed, and wanted to go out and scold him, but he still endured it.In any case, Mother Jia valued her, Madam Wang trusted her, and she had to respect herself a bit based on these alone, not as knowledgeable as those little maids.Thinking in this way, Xiren felt better, and slowly wiped away the tears with a handkerchief, slowly, Xiren still had the heart to look at the furnishings in this room.
In Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Wang is the only resident master now.Because Jia Zheng had a rift with Mrs. Wang before, and because Mrs. Wang sold his new house, Jia Zheng was so angry that he stayed in the front study almost every night, and occasionally came back for a couple of days. The first time, but they all rested at Aunt Zhao's place, and the number of times was not too many.Speaking of which, the little Aunt Zhou who was pregnant with the child was gone, and the last two flower-like house maids were gone, but the shadowy Aunt Zhou and the famously stupid Aunt Zhao still lived a peaceful life.It doesn't matter whether life is good or bad, it's good that no one bothers them.
However, that was all in the past, and now Baoyu is here.
This west ear room has always been reserved for Baoyu, even though Baoyu never came back all year round, the room has always been reserved, and there is a little maid who cleans it carefully every day.And even though it is a side room, □□ Xi Hall was originally the main hall of Rongguo Mansion, this side room is by no means smaller than the main halls in other courtyards, and the things inside are quite exquisite, Xiren was delighted to see it.Recalling what Mrs. Wang said to her earlier, Xiren slowly smiled, and felt that although he was blamed for some reason, he did not lose money.
"Hmph, if you have something to do, you will know how to chat by the fire, and when you turn around, your wife will see it, and you will simply send it out, and you will be clean!"
Baoyu's annoyed voice came from outside, and Xiren hurriedly resumed the posture just now, with a sad look on her face, and the tears were not falling, but it made her not very outstanding appearance, adding a few more A sense of weakness.
Almost at the moment when she burst into tears, Baoyu slammed the curtain and walked into the inner room, and saw Xiren sitting on the footsteps with his back to the curtain at a glance, and immediately sneered: "Oh, who dares to give it to us Hua girl?" Wronged? Tsk tsk, I'm really getting impatient watching them, Qingwen and Meiren's lessons are not enough, and there are still people who dare to provoke the person on the cusp of my wife's heart!"
Xiren originally meant to be a bit of a play, but when he heard Baoyu's words, he couldn't stand it immediately.The teardrops fell silently like a broken string of pearls.The partial attacker still had a bit of arrogance, and he didn't want to turn around for Baoyu to see, so he shrank inward even more.
Baoyu didn't see this scene. He was frightened and frightened yesterday, and was taught a lesson by Jia Zheng.Of course, although it was rumored that the Second Master Zheng beat him severely again, in fact, Jia Zheng just hit his palm ten times with a ruler.Pain is indeed pain, but it does not hinder his daily life.So after a night's rest, Baoyu returned to normal.However, this morning, Mrs. Wang called him back again, she didn't talk about it, and told him to stay away from those flamboyant little maids, so as not to be spoiled by them.Baoyu would never think that it was the little maid who led him into trouble, but she didn't dare to argue with Mrs. Wang, so she agreed politely.After leaving Mrs. Wang, I thought about it for a long time, but the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became.
"Other people don't know what's going on in my room, don't you?" Baoyu kicked over the embroidered pier that was placed aside. All the teacups on the table in the living room were overturned to the ground.
Even if Xiren wanted to pretend he didn't hear the crackling sound of broken porcelain, he couldn't do it.
"Baoyu, why are you bothering? There was an accident yesterday, and if there is another disaster today, if you really want to look at us and throw us all out? Fine, there is no need for you to rush, I'll go alone!" Xiren stood up abruptly, and rushed outside with tears streaming down his face.
Baoyu didn't expect that the attacker was crying secretly in the inner room, so he was taken aback for a while.However, no matter how slow his reaction was, he still had time to stop the attacker.And he didn't even really stop him, he just stretched out his hand and tugged at the hem of Xiren's clothes, Xiren stopped in his tracks, turned his face away from looking at Baoyu, and cried to himself: "Others don't believe me, even you now You don’t believe me anymore, why am I still staying here? Ask someone to bring the message out early, and let my mother come into the mansion tomorrow to ask the old lady and wife for a favor, and let me go back and get married.”
"Nonsense! Nonsense! Who will let you go? No, I won't!" Baoyu was full of anger, but now the attacker said a few words, but his anger changed became a worry.At the moment, Baoyu couldn't help crying, "Qingwen is gone, so is Meiren, and now you are going to go too. Well, you all go, you are all made of water. Destroy my foul-smelling sludge. Go away! Go away!"
"It was you who wanted to drive me away, but now you're relying on me. Even the master, he doesn't have to act like this." Xi Ren suddenly cried out, but covered his face with his hands.
Seeing that she didn't leave, Baoyu felt a sense of grievance in his heart, walked up to her, and said in a accusatory way: "What kind of master's servant, you are so heartless, how I treat you, you don't care at all. Do you take it to heart? Qingwen is gone, I have no choice but to keep her, I want you to think of a way, I will go to see her brother and sister-in-law when I turn around. Meiren is timid. She came out, but why is she so stupid, the people in the room, except you, I didn't touch anyone else. How could she..."
Xiren hurriedly put his hand covering his face, and pulled Baoyu to hide inside with a face full of horror. While pulling, he tried to stop Baoyu's mouth, but in the end he was so scrupled that there was a difference between master and servant, so he didn't dare to stretch out his hand, but repeatedly Stamped his feet and said, "Baoyu! You really dare to say anything. If this word gets out, my wife will kill me alive!"
"I won't say it, I won't say it." Although Baoyu didn't know the seriousness of the matter, he still read his face after all.But he was so good at reading facial expressions that yesterday when Qingwen was beaten and Meiren was chased away, he looked at Mrs. Wang's livid face and didn't dare to say a word, and it was only now that he recovered Only then did he dare to vent his anger on the attacker.
It's just that, when she lost her anger and said something, Baoyu felt a little guilty at the moment, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped Xiren's tears in a hurry, and said: "I will not talk nonsense, Xiren Man, please don't go away."
"Let's go? Where else can I go now?" Xiren felt bitter. Although it was very easy to coax Baoyu, she watched with cold eyes. In the past, Baoyu was not bad at Qingwen and Meiren.But in yesterday's situation, even if Baoyu pleaded, it might not work, but just hiding aside like that tremblingly, not daring to say a word, it is really chilling.But so what?Baoyu is the master, she is just a prostitute maid, she will pick her up quickly when she has a good time, and she doesn't tell the master what to do.At that moment, Xiren could only force a smile, and said softly, "I'm fine, Baoyu, don't worry about the affairs in the house, it's better to think about celebrating the master's birthday later."
In a few days, it will be Jia Zheng's birthday, and it is said that if he does not live a full life, he will not make a big deal.Perhaps it was because of a lot of messy things in the past year, ranging from Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang to Wang Xifeng and Jia Lan, all of whom fell ill one after another.According to Mrs. Wang's meaning, this time it will be a big deal.If it was something else, Mother Jia, who was angry in her heart, might have confronted Mrs. Wang, but since this matter related to Jia Zheng, although Mother Jia was not very enthusiastic, she never objected, only saying that the Rongguo Mansion was indeed It is urgently needed.
Now that the decision has been made above, Baoyu, as the son of man, absolutely has to express it.On the contrary, maids like Xiren are fine.If it was Mrs. Wang's birthday, they might have to prepare some needles and thread to express their feelings, but putting it on Jia Zheng's side has nothing to do with them.But as a big maid, Xiren is obliged to remind Baoyu.
As soon as these words came out, Baoyu's face became long in an instant, and he didn't speak for a long time.
<<
"That's all?" After asking people for three or five days, Wang Xifeng finally found out some details that even Jia's mother didn't quite know.
Speaking of which, in Rongguo Mansion, there are really no secrets.Even if it is about the secrets of the masters, as long as there is a patient and careful inquiry, there is no need to worry about not being able to find out.It can even be accurate to how many people there were at that time, what they said, and what expressions they had on their faces.Of course, if the two were really having a secret conversation in the room, it would not be so easy to inquire about it, but what happened in the Rongxi Hall yesterday, because there were too many people present, everyone had one or two Friends or relatives who are particularly close, say a few words to each other, and this matter will no longer be pressed down.
But to inquire about such things, it is impossible to rely on Zicuckoo.Firstly, Zicuckoo was not born in a family, nor did she have many intertwined relationships; secondly, she was originally a person in front of Jia Mu, so she naturally had a sense of superiority, and many servants were unwilling or afraid to deal with her of.
On the contrary, Feng'er and Xiaohong are masters.
Feng'er said: "Grandma, all I know is that Qingwen was sent to her brother-in-law's house, but her brother-in-law and sister-in-law are nothing. If Qingwen's deed of prostitution was not still in our house, they would have sent her to the house." Qingwen has been sold. But that charming person, it sounds a little bad, it seems that she was really scared out of her wits."
Not everyone is as bold and careful as Xi Ren, and is extraordinarily calm.If it was said that Qingwen left Rongguo Mansion with injuries after being punished by the staff, then Meiren was simply frightened.But it was precisely because of Meiren's performance that Wang Xifeng was able to confirm that she should have no real relationship with Baoyu, but there may be things like pinching her hands and eating rouge, but there may not be.
"Remember to let people watch her. On the other side of Qingwen, I want her to live and live well. Charming... You should be watched first, and if you can cure it, then don't let it be ruined."
Although she didn't have a deep impression of Mei Ren, since she was the person who served in front of Jia Mu, Wang Xifeng reckoned that Mei Ren's appearance should not be bad.Since he was scared out of his wits, that is what the market said he was insane. Such a delirious person has a good appearance. If no one is watching, he is afraid that he will be ruined sooner or later.
Feng'er nodded in response, but at the same time looked at Xiao Hong beside her who was eager to try, rather reluctantly.
Seeing Feng'er's appearance, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but laughed out loud: "You are a monkey, are you afraid that Xiaohong will take your job? What is there to be afraid of? When Xiaohong grows up, It's time for Zijuan to get married, and it happens that you and Xiaohong are on the left and right, still helping me with things."
In fact, Wang Xifeng likes Xiaohong more than Zijuan and Feng'er.Speaking of it, the original Ping'er was a person with an exquisite heart, but she was too stable and looked a little suffocated, but she was not as cute and funny as Xiaohong.But in terms of ability, when she grows up, Xiaohong is no worse than Ping'er, and because Xiaohong is Lin Zhixiao's daughter, in the eyes of the managers outside, she has a lot of weight.Wang Xifeng used it very smoothly in her previous life, and in this life she also hopes that Xiaohong will grow up quickly so that she can take care of her worries.And privately, Wang Xifeng hoped that Xiaohong would replace Zijuan, not that Zijuan could not be trusted, but from a certain point of view, Xiaohong was more suitable than Zijuan to deal with those nuns in charge.
"Grandma said yes, I will tell Sister Zijuan when I turn around, grandma, you are already looking forward to her getting married." Feng'er was neither annoyed nor ashamed when she saw that Wang Xifeng had broken her mind. From the looks of it, her skin is indeed much thicker than that of Zijuan.
Xiaohong on the side was also grinning, and after hearing Feng'er's words, she just said: "It's best that grandma marry off both Sister Zijuan and Sister Feng'er, then I can serve grandma for a while, and when grandma is in front of her Wait for the big red man."
As soon as Xiaohong finished speaking, Feng'er turned around and stared at Xiaohong viciously, threatening: "You have a good idea! If I don't leave, I will occupy the position and prevent you from being the first-class celebrity in front of grandma." !"
"Sister Feng'er, are you not married anymore?" Xiaohong was not frightened at all, but looked at Feng'er in astonishment, as if she was watching something extremely rare, and said, "Didn't you hear you and Zi Sister Juan said, Sister Ping'er, who used to serve in front of grandma, is now pregnant again, and you said that when you get married in the future, you will be like Sister Ping'er, holding the two for three years."
"Pfft! Hahahaha..." Wang Xifeng laughed so hard that she just watched Xiaohong making fun of Feng'er in a serious manner.Speaking of which, Feng'er has a thick skin, but when it comes to being married, it's okay, but when it comes to holding a couple for three years, she is somewhat ashamed.But Wang Xifeng still looked like he didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, Feng'er stared at Xiaohong for a long time angrily, then simply stomped his feet, turned around and rushed out.
Finally, Feng'er was squeezed out, Xiaohong let out a long breath, and smiled at Wang Xifeng: "Grandma, I have something to tell you."
"After all, you have so many tricks, and your sister Feng'er will not tell others." Wang Xifeng gave Xiaohong a reproachful look.
"It's not that Sister Feng'er will tell others to listen, but my mother told me about it, and I'm not allowed to tell anyone other than grandma. I don't know what's going on, so I can only listen to my mother. "Xiaohong said with helplessness and innocence all over her face, "My mother said, let's ignore the maids in Second Master Bao's room, there are no brains on the left and right, but she heard a piece of news, although she didn't know if it was true or not. , but the real big deal.”
"Say!"
"The old lady intends to tell Miss Shi to Second Master Bao, and it is said that she intends to make a formal decision on the second Master Zheng's birthday."
"How did you find out about this kind of thing?" Wang Xifeng was startled. It was a cold day, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.Although Wang Xifeng knew clearly that Jia's mother liked Shi Xiangyun quite a lot, the problem was that she had never heard of this matter in her previous life, and even if Jia's mother had thought about it, she never showed it.Could it be her fault again?
Xiaohong tilted her head and thought for a moment, then answered honestly: "I don't know how to find out this. My mother just told me to find a chance when no one is in front of grandma, and whisper to grandma. I really couldn't find it, so I thought of a way to get Sister Feng'er away in anger."
"Understood, you little man!"
In fact, it wasn't that scary after thinking about it. Wang Xifeng was just taken aback by the sudden news, and calmed down after she regained her composure.At that moment, Xiao Hong was sent out, Wang Xifeng only wanted to take a nap for a while, and didn't need to come in if he had nothing to do.
A few days ago, after returning from Rongxi Hall, Wang Xifeng's heart and eyes were all about the affairs in Baoyu's room.But at this moment, after hearing what Xiaohong brought, Wang Xifeng came to her senses.It's not a big deal in Baoyu's room, not to mention that Qingwen and Meiren are only driven away now, even if they are all sold, so what?Rongguo Mansion never lacks servants, even if beauties are rare, you can get them with a little extra money.It's about the future of Second Grandma Bao...
Rao Wang Xifeng didn't think she was stupid, but she wanted to break her head and still didn't understand why Jia's mother would target Shi Xiangyun.Even though she had a normal relationship with Shi Xiangyun in her past and present lives, she never thought of cheating Shi Xiangyun.
Just when Wang Xifeng was very uneasy, news spread that made her even more uneasy.
Mother Jia asked Shi Xiangyun to come to Bowlinghou's Mansion, and by the time Wang Xifeng found out, everyone had already entered the Rongqing Hall.It's not that no one delivered the news to Wang Xifeng in time, it's because Shi Xiangyun often came to Rongguo Mansion, and Lai Da was the one who picked up people. People who knew the news didn't think it was a big deal, and they knew the best of them, such as Lin Zhixiao was unable to inquire about things around Lai Da.Because of this, Wang Xifeng didn't know the news until everyone entered the Rongqing Hall.
It was already too late, Wang Xifeng decided to take care of his body for a few more days, and only after he fully recovered did he follow the old routine to go to Rongqing Hall for morning and evening meditation.However, she originally only had some face-to-face affection with Shi Xiangyun, and she did not have a deep friendship in private.Shi Xiangyun, on the other hand, took an opportunity to give Zijuan a silver ring. He also heard that apart from Zijuan, only the mandarin duck in front of Jiamu, the jade bracelet in front of Mrs. Wang, and the attacker in Baoyu's room had this ring. treated.Only in this way, Wang Xifeng became more and more worried.
Shi Xiangyun is afraid that he really has the desire to compete for the position of Bao's Second Grandma.
What's ridiculous is that Shi Xiangyun in this room just gave some small favors to a few maids, but Xue Baochai in that room came to visit Wang Xifeng again.
Speaking of which, Xue Baochai in the previous life never entered Wang Xifeng's courtyard once, but in this life, it seems that she has come and gone several times, and each time is more enthusiastic.Even when it was inconvenient to visit, no one came, but generous gifts were never given, such as when Wang Xifeng gave birth to brother Rong as a child, or when she was ill a few days ago.
Therefore, when Xue Baochai came, no one stopped her, and Zijuan took her directly to the main hall, and brought hot tea and snacks without waiting for orders.
"Sister Bao is here? I was supposed to go to visit my little aunt, but I got caught up in the matter at hand. My sister will come back and accuse my little aunt and me. Don't make me angry." Wang Xifeng had a big smile on his face, and when he walked up to Xue Baochai, he made a gesture of bowing.
How could Xue Baochai dare to accept her gift?He hurriedly got up and stopped him, but the smile on his face was brighter and more sincere than Wang Xifeng's.
"Why is Sister Feng doing this? Speaking of which, we are a family. When my sister was ill, my mother didn't know how worried she was. Coincidentally, my old problem happened again. I was afraid that coming here would only cause trouble for my sister, so I just sent someone over. Give me a few small gifts, I'm afraid my sister will dislike you." Xue Baochai said while letting Wang Xifeng sit on a chair beside him, and personally took the tea cup, and brought it to Wang Xifeng respectfully, and said with a smile, " If my sister doesn't dislike it, then I will borrow flowers to send to Buddha and drink this cup of tea."
"Look at my sister, how good at talking." Wang Xifeng took the tea cup quickly, took a sip, and then looked Xue Baochai up and down.
Speaking of which, Xue Baochai is not such an ignorant person. On the contrary, she is not only sophisticated and tactful, but compared to ordinary ladies, she is also experienced in the world.But Wang Xifeng's eyes were undisguised scrutiny, even Xue Baochai couldn't take it anymore, so she could only cover her face with a handkerchief, and said shyly, "Sister Feng, what are you doing? You're making fun of me?" No?"
After a long while, Wang Xifeng finally had enough of looking at Xue Baochai, and looked at Xue Baochai with a playful expression, and laughed loudly: "Sister Bao has really grown up, and it's time for my little aunt to tell you Kiss. How does my sister look at our house?"
In the huge Rongguo Mansion, there were not many people, so Wang Xifeng was asking Xue Baochai whether he liked Baoyu or not.
Putting these words on others would make you feel ashamed to death, but Xue Baochai had his own ideas when she was young, and since Wang Xifeng never made the words clear, Xue Baochai could pretend to be deaf and dumb, leaving aside the inner meaning and not mentioning it. Answer the question on the surface: "The house is very good, otherwise, my mother wouldn't have lived here for several years."
"Since it's good, let's stay here for a long time." Wang Xifeng blinked at Xue Baochai, and thoughtfully said, "You, it's good to have an exquisite heart, but don't look for the wrong way. Don't look at the big and small things in the Rongguo Mansion, they are all in my hands now, but these don't include marriage. You don't have to worry about the wife, but the old lady... move around more, It never hurts."
Xue Baochai looked hesitant, but in fact, why didn't she understand what Wang Xifeng meant?But knowing it is one thing, actually doing it is another.
In fact, to this day, Xue Baochai still can't figure out why the kind-hearted old lady Jia he saw at the beginning was so lukewarm to her afterwards.If it's really looking for trouble, then it's okay.Unfortunately, Mother Jia looked alienated towards her, and when she went to pay her respects, Mother Jia only said that she would not bother her.Whenever there is a banquet in the mansion, but every time she is sure to forget her.Although she could also ask Mrs. Wang to take her with her, once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, it is too deliberate.According to his original thinking, it should be to get acquainted first, and then play with the sisters and sisters of the Rongguo Mansion from time to time. Miss her.
"Sister Feng, to tell you the truth, I see that the old lady in the house seems to have some prejudice against me." Xue Baochai hesitated again and again, but finally couldn't help but speak out.
There are some things that she can't say to the maids around her, not even to her own mother.As for Mrs. Wang, who looks kind but actually has a deep family background, Xue Baochai will never give her heart and soul.But those words have been held back in my heart, but it is really uncomfortable.Coincidentally, when Wang Xifeng mentioned this incident, Xue Baochai thought about it, but finally expressed the suspicion that had always been buried in his heart.
"Sister, I don't understand why the old lady is not happy for you to go over and say hello?"
Xue Baochai looked troubled, as if she didn't know how to speak.In fact, why is Jia's mother just not willing to let her go to pay her respects?She still remembers that for a period of time last year, when Jia Mu saw her, she immediately pulled her face down, but every time she didn't wait for her to ask, she forced a smile on her face, saying that her bones were unwell, or that there was something important to do. Son, inside and outside the words are driving her away.Sometimes even Xue Baochai became suspicious that if it wasn't impolite to blow away the guests, Mother Jia would have planned to let their family leave.At least, Xue Baochai clearly remembered a time when Jia's mother seemed to inadvertently ask about their Xue family's house in Beijing.
Every time Xue Baochai thought of these things, her mouth was full of bitterness.She thinks that she is outstanding in everything, and the only thing that attracts criticism is her background as a merchant.But Xue's family is not an ordinary merchant. When Xue's father was alive, he was Ziwei's family, Xue Gong, who received money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was named as an imperial merchant in the household department.Although it is not as good as the Rongguo Mansion, since ancient times, the marriage between a man and a woman is to marry a daughter-in-law with his head down. Even though the Xue family has never married the Jia family, her appearance is praised by everyone, and Baoyu is not the head of the Rongguo Mansion. The eldest son, how could she not be worthy?Even when she secretly compared her cousin Wang Xifeng, looking left and right, she felt that she was much better than her. The only shortcoming... was still her background.
"Sister, don't be sad, come on, sister will break up with you."
These days, Wang Xifeng has been worrying about Shi Xiangyun.In fact, to be honest, if the matter between Shi Xiangyun and Baoyu has been settled today, then she won't mind her own business.The problem is, after Yuanchun became a concubine, even the marriage that had already been arranged could still be messed up.At that time, it's okay if you don't say it. Once you said it before, the Rongguo Mansion backed down again, and the Shijia was angry and didn't say anything. I'm afraid it would ruin Shi Xiangyun's life.
Fortunately, at this time, Xue Baochai took the initiative to bump into him.
It's easy to talk about Jia's mother. The reason why Xue Baochai didn't see through it was mainly because she was not familiar with Jia's mother, and because Jia's mother didn't want to see her, even if she lived in Rongguo Mansion for several years, she didn't see it. I have been to Rongqing Hall several times.As for Mrs. Wang, she probably didn't want to lose face on her niece's side, so she didn't mention it.However, Wang Xifeng didn't have these scruples anymore, after sorting out his thoughts a bit, he spoke with a smile on his lips.
"When the old lady was young, it is said that the servants around her were just plain-faced maidservants, and even the nanny accounted for half of them, just like the second wife now. I heard that when the old lady in our house doesn't After the marriage, the old lady fell in love with the young and pretty girl instead. Every year when newcomers come to the mansion, they will go to the old lady first, especially those little maids who are good-looking and eloquent. Almost all of them are kept. come down."
Xue Baochai knew that Wang Xifeng was going to get to the point next, so she was not in a hurry, and only looked at Wang Xifeng with a smile.
Sure enough, Wang Xifeng went on to say: "But after all, the little maid is just a little maid. She is really happy, but she can't really spoil people to heaven. If it is true, it will actually hurt people instead. I still remember when I was young, the family There are even fewer people, only Big Brother Zhu, Big Sister Yuanchun, and my Second Master Lian. This Big Brother Zhu is going to study, and Second Master Lian is a person who can't sit still for a moment. The only ones in front of the wife are the eldest sister who has entered the palace now." After a pause, Wang Xifeng added, "And me."
"Sister Feng is so pleasing, the old lady in the house loves her very much." Xue Baochai echoed with a smile.
Wang Xifeng accepted the words calmly, but changed the subject and said: "But that happened many years ago, sister, you know, who is the old lady most distressed about?"
"Of course it's Baoyu." Xue Baochai blurted out first, and then realized that Wang Xifeng was Lian's second grandma in the Rongguo Mansion. Although her words were not wrong, if she made Wang Xifeng unhappy, it would be a big mistake. up.At that moment, Xue Baochai hastily added, "I heard that 'the youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady', but I have never seen the old lady and the second master Lian together. Pain the second master Lian a little bit."
"My sister is wrong again. If you really count, it must be Big Brother Zhu that the old lady loves the most. Firstly, that is the grandson of the old lady. Second, Big Brother Zhu was the most filial before he was alive, but he left so early. The old lady is hurting here." Wang Xifeng compared her heart, and also showed a sad expression on her face just right, "But sister, don't say this, brother Zhu is the old lady, and the wife really cares about it. The people on the top, unfortunately, now it hurts when you mention it."
"Sister Feng, don't worry, I won't talk too much." Xue Baochai opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but held back.
On the contrary, Wang Xifeng patted her forehead very annoyed, and said: "Look at me, I'm being confused when I talk. Didn't we say just now, who is the old lady who loves the most? Of course, big brother Zhu, Baoyu, who are you?" There is my second master Lian, who is the heart of the old lady. But there is another person, my sister has never thought of it?"
Xue Baochai's heart moved, although she never went to Rongqingtang, she was in the Rongguo Mansion after all, and she was very lenient to her servants, so it was very convenient for her to inquire about things occasionally.At that moment, Xue Baochai asked tentatively, "Is it... Sister Yun?"
"Yes." Wang Xifeng said it bluntly and decisively. She had already thought of an excellent way to get Shi Xiangyun out and make Jia's mother hate Mrs. Wang even more.
"I understand, thank you, Sister Feng."
It doesn't take a lot to talk to smart people.Wang Xifeng watched Xue Baochai leave, glanced at the untouched refreshments, and a sincere smile filled her face.
<<
That day finally came, Jia Zheng's birthday, although it was not a full birthday, it was not a very old age, and the masters of the government decided to make a big deal, so naturally they had to do it big.
On the contrary, the drinks at the dinner table came second, and the most important thing about this birthday banquet was the guests.The Ningguo Mansion must be invited, and that is the patriarch of the Jia clan.On the other side of the historian, because of the presence of Shi Xiangyun, someone was invited, but it was neither Shi Nai, Marquis of Bowling, nor Shi Ding, Marquis of Zhongjing, but only a collateral branch of the historian.As for the Wang family, Wang Ziteng and his wife never came, not even Wang Ren, so Hao Lai still sent the housekeeper to bring a generous gift.On the other side of Xue's house, everything is complete, the mother and son are all there.In addition, some old friends of Jia Zheng's disciples came to join in the fun.
Naturally, if there is a banquet, it is necessary to call a troupe of actors, because Wang Xifeng has already recovered, and all these things are entrusted to her.Simply, Wang Xifeng was used to doing these things, and she managed them in such an orderly manner.
From the time of waiting to halftime, the front yard was completely bustling.Except for Jia Zheng, the birthday star, Jia Amnesty endured his anger and accompanied him. He, Baoyu and Jia Lan all went to the front yard to entertain guests together.I didn't think about it, in the middle of the excitement, suddenly, the doorman came to the table to report.
"Master Xia, the eunuch of Liugongdu, came to issue an order."
As soon as these words came out, they really scared everyone.Because Jia Zheng was a birthday star, and most of the people who came to the banquet were looking at his face, he drank several more glasses, and now he still looks a little proud.On the other hand, Jia She, because he was holding his breath and there was no one to toast, he just sulked and didn't drink a few cups. Besides, he has a good capacity for alcohol, even if he drank, he would not really pass out.So after hearing what the gatekeeper said, Jia Amnesty hurriedly ordered people to stop the play, remove the banquet, set up an incense table, and open the middle gate to kneel down to receive it.
After several tosses, Jia Zheng also became sober.At this moment, neither Jia Shen nor Jia Zheng hurried to the middle gate, regardless of the past suspicions.
Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the Six Palaces, arrived on horseback, with a smile on his white and beardless face.Seeing his appearance like this, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng both heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly welcomed him into the main hall of the front yard, but they heard Mr. Xia say: "Special decree: Immediately declare Jia Zheng to enter the court. See you." After that, he couldn't drink tea, and didn't give anyone a chance to give red envelopes, so he left straight away, and rode away after a while.
Both Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng didn't know what the sign was.For a while, he ordered people to prepare the car, and for a while, he ordered people to fetch clothes, and left the house in a hurry to enter the court.
When the news spread to the backyard, all the female relatives were dumbfounded.Jia Mu forced herself to be calm and ordered Lai everyone to guard at the second gate. Once there was news, she would report it immediately.I also thought that Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng had already left. I was afraid that Baoyu would not be able to take care of it alone, so he was too busy to ask someone to tell Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and his son.Even though Ningrong and Rongfu have already been separated, they are members of the same clan, so they can help entertain guests.But things have come to this, where do the guests still have the mind to drink and watch the theater?They hurriedly left, but fortunately the situation is unclear now, and that Eunuch Xia came and left with a smile, so although he left, they all smiled and never said such stupid words.
Now, it was time for Wang Xifeng to step out.
It's a coincidence that before the news came, Jia's mother had already mentioned that she wanted to talk about the marriage for Baoyu, but before Jia's mother could finish her words, the previous news came.Wang Xifeng originally had a heart in her heart, and before the meeting, she even thought about whether she would open her mouth if she was about to speak.Fortunately, the news came in time, and Mother Jia put the matter behind her in an instant.After all, compared with the saint's call, the choice of Second Grandma Bao is not important at all.
With a characteristic smile, Wang Xifeng walked up to Mother Jia in a few steps, and said with a smile, "Old Ancestor, don't worry about it. Yesterday I dreamed that our house was full of sunshine, so I knew there was going to be a big happy event."
Qingwen was punished and sent to her brother and sister-in-law, and she still doesn't know whether she is alive or dead.Although Mei Ren had never been beaten, she was personally accused by Mrs. Wang of collude with the young master, and she has such a weak temperament, I am afraid she will surely die.
But what does all this have to do with her?Why should all the crimes be blamed on her because she has never been blamed by Mrs. Wang?Was she the one who complained to Mrs. Wang?Or did she wish that everyone would die so that Baoyu could be alone?No, not at all, she dared to swear to God, she would never do any tricks, but unfortunately...
Rusting voices came from outside, striking but not deaf, one could tell that it was the little maid outside whispering.If it was still in Rongqing Hall, it might not be so obvious because it is used to being lively on weekdays.But this is the Rongxi Hall, a place with few people but a large place, and the Rongxi Hall that has always been known for its discipline and silence!
Xiren was angry and annoyed, and wanted to go out and scold him, but he still endured it.In any case, Mother Jia valued her, Madam Wang trusted her, and she had to respect herself a bit based on these alone, not as knowledgeable as those little maids.Thinking in this way, Xiren felt better, and slowly wiped away the tears with a handkerchief, slowly, Xiren still had the heart to look at the furnishings in this room.
In Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Wang is the only resident master now.Because Jia Zheng had a rift with Mrs. Wang before, and because Mrs. Wang sold his new house, Jia Zheng was so angry that he stayed in the front study almost every night, and occasionally came back for a couple of days. The first time, but they all rested at Aunt Zhao's place, and the number of times was not too many.Speaking of which, the little Aunt Zhou who was pregnant with the child was gone, and the last two flower-like house maids were gone, but the shadowy Aunt Zhou and the famously stupid Aunt Zhao still lived a peaceful life.It doesn't matter whether life is good or bad, it's good that no one bothers them.
However, that was all in the past, and now Baoyu is here.
This west ear room has always been reserved for Baoyu, even though Baoyu never came back all year round, the room has always been reserved, and there is a little maid who cleans it carefully every day.And even though it is a side room, □□ Xi Hall was originally the main hall of Rongguo Mansion, this side room is by no means smaller than the main halls in other courtyards, and the things inside are quite exquisite, Xiren was delighted to see it.Recalling what Mrs. Wang said to her earlier, Xiren slowly smiled, and felt that although he was blamed for some reason, he did not lose money.
"Hmph, if you have something to do, you will know how to chat by the fire, and when you turn around, your wife will see it, and you will simply send it out, and you will be clean!"
Baoyu's annoyed voice came from outside, and Xiren hurriedly resumed the posture just now, with a sad look on her face, and the tears were not falling, but it made her not very outstanding appearance, adding a few more A sense of weakness.
Almost at the moment when she burst into tears, Baoyu slammed the curtain and walked into the inner room, and saw Xiren sitting on the footsteps with his back to the curtain at a glance, and immediately sneered: "Oh, who dares to give it to us Hua girl?" Wronged? Tsk tsk, I'm really getting impatient watching them, Qingwen and Meiren's lessons are not enough, and there are still people who dare to provoke the person on the cusp of my wife's heart!"
Xiren originally meant to be a bit of a play, but when he heard Baoyu's words, he couldn't stand it immediately.The teardrops fell silently like a broken string of pearls.The partial attacker still had a bit of arrogance, and he didn't want to turn around for Baoyu to see, so he shrank inward even more.
Baoyu didn't see this scene. He was frightened and frightened yesterday, and was taught a lesson by Jia Zheng.Of course, although it was rumored that the Second Master Zheng beat him severely again, in fact, Jia Zheng just hit his palm ten times with a ruler.Pain is indeed pain, but it does not hinder his daily life.So after a night's rest, Baoyu returned to normal.However, this morning, Mrs. Wang called him back again, she didn't talk about it, and told him to stay away from those flamboyant little maids, so as not to be spoiled by them.Baoyu would never think that it was the little maid who led him into trouble, but she didn't dare to argue with Mrs. Wang, so she agreed politely.After leaving Mrs. Wang, I thought about it for a long time, but the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became.
"Other people don't know what's going on in my room, don't you?" Baoyu kicked over the embroidered pier that was placed aside. All the teacups on the table in the living room were overturned to the ground.
Even if Xiren wanted to pretend he didn't hear the crackling sound of broken porcelain, he couldn't do it.
"Baoyu, why are you bothering? There was an accident yesterday, and if there is another disaster today, if you really want to look at us and throw us all out? Fine, there is no need for you to rush, I'll go alone!" Xiren stood up abruptly, and rushed outside with tears streaming down his face.
Baoyu didn't expect that the attacker was crying secretly in the inner room, so he was taken aback for a while.However, no matter how slow his reaction was, he still had time to stop the attacker.And he didn't even really stop him, he just stretched out his hand and tugged at the hem of Xiren's clothes, Xiren stopped in his tracks, turned his face away from looking at Baoyu, and cried to himself: "Others don't believe me, even you now You don’t believe me anymore, why am I still staying here? Ask someone to bring the message out early, and let my mother come into the mansion tomorrow to ask the old lady and wife for a favor, and let me go back and get married.”
"Nonsense! Nonsense! Who will let you go? No, I won't!" Baoyu was full of anger, but now the attacker said a few words, but his anger changed became a worry.At the moment, Baoyu couldn't help crying, "Qingwen is gone, so is Meiren, and now you are going to go too. Well, you all go, you are all made of water. Destroy my foul-smelling sludge. Go away! Go away!"
"It was you who wanted to drive me away, but now you're relying on me. Even the master, he doesn't have to act like this." Xi Ren suddenly cried out, but covered his face with his hands.
Seeing that she didn't leave, Baoyu felt a sense of grievance in his heart, walked up to her, and said in a accusatory way: "What kind of master's servant, you are so heartless, how I treat you, you don't care at all. Do you take it to heart? Qingwen is gone, I have no choice but to keep her, I want you to think of a way, I will go to see her brother and sister-in-law when I turn around. Meiren is timid. She came out, but why is she so stupid, the people in the room, except you, I didn't touch anyone else. How could she..."
Xiren hurriedly put his hand covering his face, and pulled Baoyu to hide inside with a face full of horror. While pulling, he tried to stop Baoyu's mouth, but in the end he was so scrupled that there was a difference between master and servant, so he didn't dare to stretch out his hand, but repeatedly Stamped his feet and said, "Baoyu! You really dare to say anything. If this word gets out, my wife will kill me alive!"
"I won't say it, I won't say it." Although Baoyu didn't know the seriousness of the matter, he still read his face after all.But he was so good at reading facial expressions that yesterday when Qingwen was beaten and Meiren was chased away, he looked at Mrs. Wang's livid face and didn't dare to say a word, and it was only now that he recovered Only then did he dare to vent his anger on the attacker.
It's just that, when she lost her anger and said something, Baoyu felt a little guilty at the moment, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped Xiren's tears in a hurry, and said: "I will not talk nonsense, Xiren Man, please don't go away."
"Let's go? Where else can I go now?" Xiren felt bitter. Although it was very easy to coax Baoyu, she watched with cold eyes. In the past, Baoyu was not bad at Qingwen and Meiren.But in yesterday's situation, even if Baoyu pleaded, it might not work, but just hiding aside like that tremblingly, not daring to say a word, it is really chilling.But so what?Baoyu is the master, she is just a prostitute maid, she will pick her up quickly when she has a good time, and she doesn't tell the master what to do.At that moment, Xiren could only force a smile, and said softly, "I'm fine, Baoyu, don't worry about the affairs in the house, it's better to think about celebrating the master's birthday later."
In a few days, it will be Jia Zheng's birthday, and it is said that if he does not live a full life, he will not make a big deal.Perhaps it was because of a lot of messy things in the past year, ranging from Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang to Wang Xifeng and Jia Lan, all of whom fell ill one after another.According to Mrs. Wang's meaning, this time it will be a big deal.If it was something else, Mother Jia, who was angry in her heart, might have confronted Mrs. Wang, but since this matter related to Jia Zheng, although Mother Jia was not very enthusiastic, she never objected, only saying that the Rongguo Mansion was indeed It is urgently needed.
Now that the decision has been made above, Baoyu, as the son of man, absolutely has to express it.On the contrary, maids like Xiren are fine.If it was Mrs. Wang's birthday, they might have to prepare some needles and thread to express their feelings, but putting it on Jia Zheng's side has nothing to do with them.But as a big maid, Xiren is obliged to remind Baoyu.
As soon as these words came out, Baoyu's face became long in an instant, and he didn't speak for a long time.
<<
"That's all?" After asking people for three or five days, Wang Xifeng finally found out some details that even Jia's mother didn't quite know.
Speaking of which, in Rongguo Mansion, there are really no secrets.Even if it is about the secrets of the masters, as long as there is a patient and careful inquiry, there is no need to worry about not being able to find out.It can even be accurate to how many people there were at that time, what they said, and what expressions they had on their faces.Of course, if the two were really having a secret conversation in the room, it would not be so easy to inquire about it, but what happened in the Rongxi Hall yesterday, because there were too many people present, everyone had one or two Friends or relatives who are particularly close, say a few words to each other, and this matter will no longer be pressed down.
But to inquire about such things, it is impossible to rely on Zicuckoo.Firstly, Zicuckoo was not born in a family, nor did she have many intertwined relationships; secondly, she was originally a person in front of Jia Mu, so she naturally had a sense of superiority, and many servants were unwilling or afraid to deal with her of.
On the contrary, Feng'er and Xiaohong are masters.
Feng'er said: "Grandma, all I know is that Qingwen was sent to her brother-in-law's house, but her brother-in-law and sister-in-law are nothing. If Qingwen's deed of prostitution was not still in our house, they would have sent her to the house." Qingwen has been sold. But that charming person, it sounds a little bad, it seems that she was really scared out of her wits."
Not everyone is as bold and careful as Xi Ren, and is extraordinarily calm.If it was said that Qingwen left Rongguo Mansion with injuries after being punished by the staff, then Meiren was simply frightened.But it was precisely because of Meiren's performance that Wang Xifeng was able to confirm that she should have no real relationship with Baoyu, but there may be things like pinching her hands and eating rouge, but there may not be.
"Remember to let people watch her. On the other side of Qingwen, I want her to live and live well. Charming... You should be watched first, and if you can cure it, then don't let it be ruined."
Although she didn't have a deep impression of Mei Ren, since she was the person who served in front of Jia Mu, Wang Xifeng reckoned that Mei Ren's appearance should not be bad.Since he was scared out of his wits, that is what the market said he was insane. Such a delirious person has a good appearance. If no one is watching, he is afraid that he will be ruined sooner or later.
Feng'er nodded in response, but at the same time looked at Xiao Hong beside her who was eager to try, rather reluctantly.
Seeing Feng'er's appearance, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but laughed out loud: "You are a monkey, are you afraid that Xiaohong will take your job? What is there to be afraid of? When Xiaohong grows up, It's time for Zijuan to get married, and it happens that you and Xiaohong are on the left and right, still helping me with things."
In fact, Wang Xifeng likes Xiaohong more than Zijuan and Feng'er.Speaking of it, the original Ping'er was a person with an exquisite heart, but she was too stable and looked a little suffocated, but she was not as cute and funny as Xiaohong.But in terms of ability, when she grows up, Xiaohong is no worse than Ping'er, and because Xiaohong is Lin Zhixiao's daughter, in the eyes of the managers outside, she has a lot of weight.Wang Xifeng used it very smoothly in her previous life, and in this life she also hopes that Xiaohong will grow up quickly so that she can take care of her worries.And privately, Wang Xifeng hoped that Xiaohong would replace Zijuan, not that Zijuan could not be trusted, but from a certain point of view, Xiaohong was more suitable than Zijuan to deal with those nuns in charge.
"Grandma said yes, I will tell Sister Zijuan when I turn around, grandma, you are already looking forward to her getting married." Feng'er was neither annoyed nor ashamed when she saw that Wang Xifeng had broken her mind. From the looks of it, her skin is indeed much thicker than that of Zijuan.
Xiaohong on the side was also grinning, and after hearing Feng'er's words, she just said: "It's best that grandma marry off both Sister Zijuan and Sister Feng'er, then I can serve grandma for a while, and when grandma is in front of her Wait for the big red man."
As soon as Xiaohong finished speaking, Feng'er turned around and stared at Xiaohong viciously, threatening: "You have a good idea! If I don't leave, I will occupy the position and prevent you from being the first-class celebrity in front of grandma." !"
"Sister Feng'er, are you not married anymore?" Xiaohong was not frightened at all, but looked at Feng'er in astonishment, as if she was watching something extremely rare, and said, "Didn't you hear you and Zi Sister Juan said, Sister Ping'er, who used to serve in front of grandma, is now pregnant again, and you said that when you get married in the future, you will be like Sister Ping'er, holding the two for three years."
"Pfft! Hahahaha..." Wang Xifeng laughed so hard that she just watched Xiaohong making fun of Feng'er in a serious manner.Speaking of which, Feng'er has a thick skin, but when it comes to being married, it's okay, but when it comes to holding a couple for three years, she is somewhat ashamed.But Wang Xifeng still looked like he didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, Feng'er stared at Xiaohong for a long time angrily, then simply stomped his feet, turned around and rushed out.
Finally, Feng'er was squeezed out, Xiaohong let out a long breath, and smiled at Wang Xifeng: "Grandma, I have something to tell you."
"After all, you have so many tricks, and your sister Feng'er will not tell others." Wang Xifeng gave Xiaohong a reproachful look.
"It's not that Sister Feng'er will tell others to listen, but my mother told me about it, and I'm not allowed to tell anyone other than grandma. I don't know what's going on, so I can only listen to my mother. "Xiaohong said with helplessness and innocence all over her face, "My mother said, let's ignore the maids in Second Master Bao's room, there are no brains on the left and right, but she heard a piece of news, although she didn't know if it was true or not. , but the real big deal.”
"Say!"
"The old lady intends to tell Miss Shi to Second Master Bao, and it is said that she intends to make a formal decision on the second Master Zheng's birthday."
"How did you find out about this kind of thing?" Wang Xifeng was startled. It was a cold day, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.Although Wang Xifeng knew clearly that Jia's mother liked Shi Xiangyun quite a lot, the problem was that she had never heard of this matter in her previous life, and even if Jia's mother had thought about it, she never showed it.Could it be her fault again?
Xiaohong tilted her head and thought for a moment, then answered honestly: "I don't know how to find out this. My mother just told me to find a chance when no one is in front of grandma, and whisper to grandma. I really couldn't find it, so I thought of a way to get Sister Feng'er away in anger."
"Understood, you little man!"
In fact, it wasn't that scary after thinking about it. Wang Xifeng was just taken aback by the sudden news, and calmed down after she regained her composure.At that moment, Xiao Hong was sent out, Wang Xifeng only wanted to take a nap for a while, and didn't need to come in if he had nothing to do.
A few days ago, after returning from Rongxi Hall, Wang Xifeng's heart and eyes were all about the affairs in Baoyu's room.But at this moment, after hearing what Xiaohong brought, Wang Xifeng came to her senses.It's not a big deal in Baoyu's room, not to mention that Qingwen and Meiren are only driven away now, even if they are all sold, so what?Rongguo Mansion never lacks servants, even if beauties are rare, you can get them with a little extra money.It's about the future of Second Grandma Bao...
Rao Wang Xifeng didn't think she was stupid, but she wanted to break her head and still didn't understand why Jia's mother would target Shi Xiangyun.Even though she had a normal relationship with Shi Xiangyun in her past and present lives, she never thought of cheating Shi Xiangyun.
Just when Wang Xifeng was very uneasy, news spread that made her even more uneasy.
Mother Jia asked Shi Xiangyun to come to Bowlinghou's Mansion, and by the time Wang Xifeng found out, everyone had already entered the Rongqing Hall.It's not that no one delivered the news to Wang Xifeng in time, it's because Shi Xiangyun often came to Rongguo Mansion, and Lai Da was the one who picked up people. People who knew the news didn't think it was a big deal, and they knew the best of them, such as Lin Zhixiao was unable to inquire about things around Lai Da.Because of this, Wang Xifeng didn't know the news until everyone entered the Rongqing Hall.
It was already too late, Wang Xifeng decided to take care of his body for a few more days, and only after he fully recovered did he follow the old routine to go to Rongqing Hall for morning and evening meditation.However, she originally only had some face-to-face affection with Shi Xiangyun, and she did not have a deep friendship in private.Shi Xiangyun, on the other hand, took an opportunity to give Zijuan a silver ring. He also heard that apart from Zijuan, only the mandarin duck in front of Jiamu, the jade bracelet in front of Mrs. Wang, and the attacker in Baoyu's room had this ring. treated.Only in this way, Wang Xifeng became more and more worried.
Shi Xiangyun is afraid that he really has the desire to compete for the position of Bao's Second Grandma.
What's ridiculous is that Shi Xiangyun in this room just gave some small favors to a few maids, but Xue Baochai in that room came to visit Wang Xifeng again.
Speaking of which, Xue Baochai in the previous life never entered Wang Xifeng's courtyard once, but in this life, it seems that she has come and gone several times, and each time is more enthusiastic.Even when it was inconvenient to visit, no one came, but generous gifts were never given, such as when Wang Xifeng gave birth to brother Rong as a child, or when she was ill a few days ago.
Therefore, when Xue Baochai came, no one stopped her, and Zijuan took her directly to the main hall, and brought hot tea and snacks without waiting for orders.
"Sister Bao is here? I was supposed to go to visit my little aunt, but I got caught up in the matter at hand. My sister will come back and accuse my little aunt and me. Don't make me angry." Wang Xifeng had a big smile on his face, and when he walked up to Xue Baochai, he made a gesture of bowing.
How could Xue Baochai dare to accept her gift?He hurriedly got up and stopped him, but the smile on his face was brighter and more sincere than Wang Xifeng's.
"Why is Sister Feng doing this? Speaking of which, we are a family. When my sister was ill, my mother didn't know how worried she was. Coincidentally, my old problem happened again. I was afraid that coming here would only cause trouble for my sister, so I just sent someone over. Give me a few small gifts, I'm afraid my sister will dislike you." Xue Baochai said while letting Wang Xifeng sit on a chair beside him, and personally took the tea cup, and brought it to Wang Xifeng respectfully, and said with a smile, " If my sister doesn't dislike it, then I will borrow flowers to send to Buddha and drink this cup of tea."
"Look at my sister, how good at talking." Wang Xifeng took the tea cup quickly, took a sip, and then looked Xue Baochai up and down.
Speaking of which, Xue Baochai is not such an ignorant person. On the contrary, she is not only sophisticated and tactful, but compared to ordinary ladies, she is also experienced in the world.But Wang Xifeng's eyes were undisguised scrutiny, even Xue Baochai couldn't take it anymore, so she could only cover her face with a handkerchief, and said shyly, "Sister Feng, what are you doing? You're making fun of me?" No?"
After a long while, Wang Xifeng finally had enough of looking at Xue Baochai, and looked at Xue Baochai with a playful expression, and laughed loudly: "Sister Bao has really grown up, and it's time for my little aunt to tell you Kiss. How does my sister look at our house?"
In the huge Rongguo Mansion, there were not many people, so Wang Xifeng was asking Xue Baochai whether he liked Baoyu or not.
Putting these words on others would make you feel ashamed to death, but Xue Baochai had his own ideas when she was young, and since Wang Xifeng never made the words clear, Xue Baochai could pretend to be deaf and dumb, leaving aside the inner meaning and not mentioning it. Answer the question on the surface: "The house is very good, otherwise, my mother wouldn't have lived here for several years."
"Since it's good, let's stay here for a long time." Wang Xifeng blinked at Xue Baochai, and thoughtfully said, "You, it's good to have an exquisite heart, but don't look for the wrong way. Don't look at the big and small things in the Rongguo Mansion, they are all in my hands now, but these don't include marriage. You don't have to worry about the wife, but the old lady... move around more, It never hurts."
Xue Baochai looked hesitant, but in fact, why didn't she understand what Wang Xifeng meant?But knowing it is one thing, actually doing it is another.
In fact, to this day, Xue Baochai still can't figure out why the kind-hearted old lady Jia he saw at the beginning was so lukewarm to her afterwards.If it's really looking for trouble, then it's okay.Unfortunately, Mother Jia looked alienated towards her, and when she went to pay her respects, Mother Jia only said that she would not bother her.Whenever there is a banquet in the mansion, but every time she is sure to forget her.Although she could also ask Mrs. Wang to take her with her, once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, it is too deliberate.According to his original thinking, it should be to get acquainted first, and then play with the sisters and sisters of the Rongguo Mansion from time to time. Miss her.
"Sister Feng, to tell you the truth, I see that the old lady in the house seems to have some prejudice against me." Xue Baochai hesitated again and again, but finally couldn't help but speak out.
There are some things that she can't say to the maids around her, not even to her own mother.As for Mrs. Wang, who looks kind but actually has a deep family background, Xue Baochai will never give her heart and soul.But those words have been held back in my heart, but it is really uncomfortable.Coincidentally, when Wang Xifeng mentioned this incident, Xue Baochai thought about it, but finally expressed the suspicion that had always been buried in his heart.
"Sister, I don't understand why the old lady is not happy for you to go over and say hello?"
Xue Baochai looked troubled, as if she didn't know how to speak.In fact, why is Jia's mother just not willing to let her go to pay her respects?She still remembers that for a period of time last year, when Jia Mu saw her, she immediately pulled her face down, but every time she didn't wait for her to ask, she forced a smile on her face, saying that her bones were unwell, or that there was something important to do. Son, inside and outside the words are driving her away.Sometimes even Xue Baochai became suspicious that if it wasn't impolite to blow away the guests, Mother Jia would have planned to let their family leave.At least, Xue Baochai clearly remembered a time when Jia's mother seemed to inadvertently ask about their Xue family's house in Beijing.
Every time Xue Baochai thought of these things, her mouth was full of bitterness.She thinks that she is outstanding in everything, and the only thing that attracts criticism is her background as a merchant.But Xue's family is not an ordinary merchant. When Xue's father was alive, he was Ziwei's family, Xue Gong, who received money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was named as an imperial merchant in the household department.Although it is not as good as the Rongguo Mansion, since ancient times, the marriage between a man and a woman is to marry a daughter-in-law with his head down. Even though the Xue family has never married the Jia family, her appearance is praised by everyone, and Baoyu is not the head of the Rongguo Mansion. The eldest son, how could she not be worthy?Even when she secretly compared her cousin Wang Xifeng, looking left and right, she felt that she was much better than her. The only shortcoming... was still her background.
"Sister, don't be sad, come on, sister will break up with you."
These days, Wang Xifeng has been worrying about Shi Xiangyun.In fact, to be honest, if the matter between Shi Xiangyun and Baoyu has been settled today, then she won't mind her own business.The problem is, after Yuanchun became a concubine, even the marriage that had already been arranged could still be messed up.At that time, it's okay if you don't say it. Once you said it before, the Rongguo Mansion backed down again, and the Shijia was angry and didn't say anything. I'm afraid it would ruin Shi Xiangyun's life.
Fortunately, at this time, Xue Baochai took the initiative to bump into him.
It's easy to talk about Jia's mother. The reason why Xue Baochai didn't see through it was mainly because she was not familiar with Jia's mother, and because Jia's mother didn't want to see her, even if she lived in Rongguo Mansion for several years, she didn't see it. I have been to Rongqing Hall several times.As for Mrs. Wang, she probably didn't want to lose face on her niece's side, so she didn't mention it.However, Wang Xifeng didn't have these scruples anymore, after sorting out his thoughts a bit, he spoke with a smile on his lips.
"When the old lady was young, it is said that the servants around her were just plain-faced maidservants, and even the nanny accounted for half of them, just like the second wife now. I heard that when the old lady in our house doesn't After the marriage, the old lady fell in love with the young and pretty girl instead. Every year when newcomers come to the mansion, they will go to the old lady first, especially those little maids who are good-looking and eloquent. Almost all of them are kept. come down."
Xue Baochai knew that Wang Xifeng was going to get to the point next, so she was not in a hurry, and only looked at Wang Xifeng with a smile.
Sure enough, Wang Xifeng went on to say: "But after all, the little maid is just a little maid. She is really happy, but she can't really spoil people to heaven. If it is true, it will actually hurt people instead. I still remember when I was young, the family There are even fewer people, only Big Brother Zhu, Big Sister Yuanchun, and my Second Master Lian. This Big Brother Zhu is going to study, and Second Master Lian is a person who can't sit still for a moment. The only ones in front of the wife are the eldest sister who has entered the palace now." After a pause, Wang Xifeng added, "And me."
"Sister Feng is so pleasing, the old lady in the house loves her very much." Xue Baochai echoed with a smile.
Wang Xifeng accepted the words calmly, but changed the subject and said: "But that happened many years ago, sister, you know, who is the old lady most distressed about?"
"Of course it's Baoyu." Xue Baochai blurted out first, and then realized that Wang Xifeng was Lian's second grandma in the Rongguo Mansion. Although her words were not wrong, if she made Wang Xifeng unhappy, it would be a big mistake. up.At that moment, Xue Baochai hastily added, "I heard that 'the youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady', but I have never seen the old lady and the second master Lian together. Pain the second master Lian a little bit."
"My sister is wrong again. If you really count, it must be Big Brother Zhu that the old lady loves the most. Firstly, that is the grandson of the old lady. Second, Big Brother Zhu was the most filial before he was alive, but he left so early. The old lady is hurting here." Wang Xifeng compared her heart, and also showed a sad expression on her face just right, "But sister, don't say this, brother Zhu is the old lady, and the wife really cares about it. The people on the top, unfortunately, now it hurts when you mention it."
"Sister Feng, don't worry, I won't talk too much." Xue Baochai opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but held back.
On the contrary, Wang Xifeng patted her forehead very annoyed, and said: "Look at me, I'm being confused when I talk. Didn't we say just now, who is the old lady who loves the most? Of course, big brother Zhu, Baoyu, who are you?" There is my second master Lian, who is the heart of the old lady. But there is another person, my sister has never thought of it?"
Xue Baochai's heart moved, although she never went to Rongqingtang, she was in the Rongguo Mansion after all, and she was very lenient to her servants, so it was very convenient for her to inquire about things occasionally.At that moment, Xue Baochai asked tentatively, "Is it... Sister Yun?"
"Yes." Wang Xifeng said it bluntly and decisively. She had already thought of an excellent way to get Shi Xiangyun out and make Jia's mother hate Mrs. Wang even more.
"I understand, thank you, Sister Feng."
It doesn't take a lot to talk to smart people.Wang Xifeng watched Xue Baochai leave, glanced at the untouched refreshments, and a sincere smile filled her face.

That day finally came, Jia Zheng's birthday, although it was not a full birthday, it was not a very old age, and the masters of the government decided to make a big deal, so naturally they had to do it big.
On the contrary, the drinks at the dinner table came second, and the most important thing about this birthday banquet was the guests.The Ningguo Mansion must be invited, and that is the patriarch of the Jia clan.On the other side of the historian, because of the presence of Shi Xiangyun, someone was invited, but it was neither Shi Nai, Marquis of Bowling, nor Shi Ding, Marquis of Zhongjing, but only a collateral branch of the historian.As for the Wang family, Wang Ziteng and his wife never came, not even Wang Ren, so Hao Lai still sent the housekeeper to bring a generous gift.On the other side of Xue's house, everything is complete, the mother and son are all there.In addition, some old friends of Jia Zheng's disciples came to join in the fun.
Naturally, if there is a banquet, it is necessary to call a troupe of actors, because Wang Xifeng has already recovered, and all these things are entrusted to her.Simply, Wang Xifeng was used to doing these things, and she managed them in such an orderly manner.
From the time of waiting to halftime, the front yard was completely bustling.Except for Jia Zheng, the birthday star, Jia Amnesty endured his anger and accompanied him. He, Baoyu and Jia Lan all went to the front yard to entertain guests together.I didn't think about it, in the middle of the excitement, suddenly, the doorman came to the table to report.
"Master Xia, the eunuch of Liugongdu, came to issue an order."
As soon as these words came out, they really scared everyone.Because Jia Zheng was a birthday star, and most of the people who came to the banquet were looking at his face, he drank several more glasses, and now he still looks a little proud.On the other hand, Jia She, because he was holding his breath and there was no one to toast, he just sulked and didn't drink a few cups. Besides, he has a good capacity for alcohol, even if he drank, he would not really pass out.So after hearing what the gatekeeper said, Jia Amnesty hurriedly ordered people to stop the play, remove the banquet, set up an incense table, and open the middle gate to kneel down to receive it.
After several tosses, Jia Zheng also became sober.At this moment, neither Jia Shen nor Jia Zheng hurried to the middle gate, regardless of the past suspicions.
Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the Six Palaces, arrived on horseback, with a smile on his white and beardless face.Seeing his appearance like this, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng both heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly welcomed him into the main hall of the front yard, but they heard Mr. Xia say: "Special decree: Immediately declare Jia Zheng to enter the court. See you." After that, he couldn't drink tea, and didn't give anyone a chance to give red envelopes, so he left straight away, and rode away after a while.
Both Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng didn't know what the sign was.For a while, he ordered people to prepare the car, and for a while, he ordered people to fetch clothes, and left the house in a hurry to enter the court.
When the news spread to the backyard, all the female relatives were dumbfounded.Jia Mu forced herself to be calm and ordered Lai everyone to guard at the second gate. Once there was news, she would report it immediately.I also thought that Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng had already left. I was afraid that Baoyu would not be able to take care of it alone, so he was too busy to ask someone to tell Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and his son.Even though Ningrong and Rongfu have already been separated, they are members of the same clan, so they can help entertain guests.But things have come to this, where do the guests still have the mind to drink and watch the theater?They hurriedly left, but fortunately the situation is unclear now, and that Eunuch Xia came and left with a smile, so although he left, they all smiled and never said such stupid words.
Now, it was time for Wang Xifeng to step out.
It's a coincidence that before the news came, Jia's mother had already mentioned that she wanted to talk about the marriage for Baoyu, but before Jia's mother could finish her words, the previous news came.Wang Xifeng originally had a heart in her heart, and before the meeting, she even thought about whether she would open her mouth if she was about to speak.Fortunately, the news came in time, and Mother Jia put the matter behind her in an instant.After all, compared with the saint's call, the choice of Second Grandma Bao is not important at all.
With a characteristic smile, Wang Xifeng walked up to Mother Jia in a few steps, and said with a smile, "Old Ancestor, don't worry about it. Yesterday I dreamed that our house was full of sunshine, so I knew there was going to be a big happy event."
