Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 212 The Maid Takes the Key

Xue Wang was puzzled: "How do you say that?"

Mrs. Wang went on to say: "Look at the present, those families who have been kicked out have children, one is relying on the face of the other, and the other is going to ask the master above. It is not easy for the eldest wife to refute any master who is the main slave who comes in. Could it be that she will not live in this mansion from now on? What will happen? Although there are fewer people than before, the atmosphere in the mansion has not changed, and everything remains the same.

How else can I say that the old lady has seen the world?If my daughter-in-law, Li Wan, was selling my servants under my nose, I would have quit a long time ago.But what about the old lady?Standing high and steady, you can follow your eldest wife up and down like a monkey, but when she turns around, she has the ability to fill up the opened hole again. The whole house is now as before, full of people whom the old lady trusts.

You see, Zhang Lingxuan looks very majestic in charge of the middle school. If you ask me, she is just a maid holding the keys - the master of the house but not the master. "

These words are even more puzzling, and Mrs. Xue couldn't understand: "Looking at the old lady, she doesn't seem to be greedy for power. Didn't it mean that the old lady started to manage accounts on the first day she married?"

Mrs. Wang sneered: "That's right! But there is one case that you don't know yet, right? That is when the old lady was still a daughter-in-law, the old lady above was her mother-in-law. Just refused to hand it over to her. The year when Zhang Lingxuan first entered the school happened to be the first year when the old lady took over the key to the warehouse from the sick old Mrs. Duke. How could she be so kind to hand over the newly acquired power to Zhang Lingxuan, the eldest daughter-in-law?
Yes, on the surface it seemed that she had given her the keys and ledgers, but Zhang Lingxuan was the housekeeper for the first few years, and even had to ask the old lady for instructions on matters that were fart.I can't even look down on it.

Now the old lady and Zhang Lingxuan are two people, one is in charge of contacts, and the other is in charge of Zhongfu. In terms of strength, they are evenly matched.Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seem to be in harmony, but what about reality?Isn't it fighting openly and secretly?
That is to say, I have nothing in my hands, and I just watch them fighting for it, and it's a lot of fun. "

What Mrs. Wang said seemed to make sense, but Wang Xue still couldn't believe that Mrs. Jia had hidden such a big ambition.

"Sister, is that wrong? Now Dafang has Lian's daughter-in-law, the second wife has Zhu's daughter-in-law, and the grandson's daughter-in-law has married into the house. The old lady is still so greedy for power? Didn't I hear that Wu Linzhu made some reforms?" , is it still praised by the old lady?"

For this, Mrs. Wang sneered even more: "Cut~ Who wouldn't say something so obedient? Anyway, there are her people everywhere in the house, so what if the children play house games? Let the eldest wife and her son Daughter-in-law, go make a fuss, this mansion wants to change its appearance, I think it must wait for the day when the old lady drives west."

Xue Wangshi fell silent after hearing this, maybe it was really like what her sister said, she, the second wife, had no rights and no money, so she could see through the open and secret struggles in the mansion.

Mrs. Wang sighed: "Hey, sometimes I really envy you. When you get married, there are no parents-in-law to suppress you, and the family is separated to live your own life. You are the one who has the final say. That's great. To put it bluntly, for us women, like Jia Min, it's okay to have both parents-in-law and mother-in-law passed away within a few years of marriage. No one is pressing myself to make myself feel angry. How comfortable life is ?”

"elder sister!"

Mrs. Wang sighed: "You don't have to be as smart as me. I know what you mean. I'm just white-haired and complaining. Who would pay attention to a person like me? I'm bored every day, but If I want to fight martial arts, people won't take me to play~"

Xue Wang was about to laugh angrily: "Sister, are you in a daze? I still envy you for a peaceful and smooth life like you? It's not like I'm so busy every day that I don't touch the ground, and I can't enjoy any blessings."

Speaking of this, the two sisters laughed, and there is no one who is content.

At this time, the little girl in Jiamu's office said back and forth: "The old lady has finished her meal, so she asked the second wife and concubine to go."

When the two Wang sisters came to Jia Mu's room, they found that Zhang Lingxuan was there alone, and there was no maid in the room. Looking at Zhang Lingxuan's expression, she seemed sullen, as if she had just quarreled with someone.

When Jia Mu saw the two sisters coming, she said with a smile, "My aunt came to sit with me. Are you ready for dinner? Where did Bao girl go to play?"

Xue Wang said with a smile: "Thanks to the old lady, I have already eaten, and Baochai also went to play with her sister Yunchun."

"Ah."

Mother Jia hummed and stopped talking.Zhang Lingxuan didn't speak, and the Wang sisters looked at each other, neither of them dared to say anything. For a moment, the room was so quiet that the sound of needle dropping could be heard.

Finally, it was Jia Mu who said: "Such a big thing has happened in the house, and I don't care about shame. My dear, you and your wife have been checking up and down these days, and you want to make secret visits. What a difference." If anything goes wrong, come and report it to me. The Rongguo Mansion has really not managed its servants seriously over the years. I really didn’t take the things you said a few times to heart. It can be seen that it is really a thief’s injection. When you grow up, you will be a thief. Jin, these slaves are more courageous than I thought. For the second brother, you should also put down the Buddhist scriptures for a few days. If the old man has something to spare, you can also help me."

These few words of Jia's mother are very instructive.Xue Wang looked at her sister, and thought to herself, she was really right.This Zhang Lingxuan's life in Rongguo Mansion may not be easy.It's like an emperor, no matter what he does, there is an old queen who listens to the government behind the curtain, and he is really a puppet.

The eldest wife and the second wife got up to answer, and Jia Mu said to Xue Wang: "This matter was exposed so quickly, it is all thanks to my aunt. It's late today, and I will personally send the post to my aunt when I catch up tomorrow." , just prepare a day of theater and wine and invite your concubine to have a lively and lively house. I know you young wives are busy with housekeeping, but I will talk about it first, I don’t care what big things you have, wait for me to post When I invite you, you are not allowed not to come, if you don't come, you will not give my wife face."

On weekdays, if Mother Jia wanted to invite someone, she would always ask her servants to go to that family's mansion to say something.She is a superb lady of the country, and she is old again, and most people are there at the first call.Saying this now makes Xue Wangshi suspicious?What's the big deal here?
