Red Mansions Counterattack Raiders

In the early morning of the next day, everyone in the big house was called to the old lady in the west courtyard. Mother Jia was covered with a handkerchief on her forehead, looking sickly as if she had been mad by them.Mrs. Xing's face was haggard, and she burst into tears when she saw Jia's mother, yelling that Jia's mother should make decisions for her, so angry that Jia She almost pointed at her nose and scolded her.

Mother Jia frowned and patted the table, "Shut up! Don't you think it's not big enough? The old and the young are ignorant, and they will make people laugh! Brother Feng, tell me what's going on with you It is for your own good that I asked you to share a room with brother Lian. If you really don’t want to just tell me, how can my old woman force you? It's fine if you deal with it, but you're good, the whole house is uneasy. And the boss, why are you making trouble when the boss accepts a common room? You got into a fight with two girls in the middle of the night, but you still look like a wife? "

Wang Xifeng lowered her head and couldn't see the expression clearly. Jia Lian replied for her: "Old lady, when the doctor came to give Brother Feng a pulse, he said that she should not think too much and take care of her at night. Fearing that those servants would not serve her well, she was very worried, so she set up a couch next to Brother Feng. She didn't expect that big-hearted girl to do such a scandal. , attracted a lot of people over. The servants all know, we can’t take it as nothing, so we have to use her as an example, it’s our husband and wife’s fault for disturbing the old lady’s cleanliness, please punish the old lady.”

Jia's mother narrowed her eyes and looked at him, "Isn't it because Brother Feng refused to allow you to take concubines? I heard that your mother also prepared two maids for you, but they were dismissed by Brother Feng. Biyun, Bixue...this is not a good temper," Jia Mu said and looked at Wang Xifeng again, "Brother Feng, women obey three virtues, men respect you, you have to be virtuous and generous, you can't rely on them." Pampering makes you proud. How about this, I see that Ping'er next to you is not bad, and it seems that the wife of the in-laws took the pains to choose, so let's put her face in the room."

Jia Lian waved her hand hastily, "Old lady, it's not that Brother Feng is jealous, it's because I don't want it. I heard people say that taking a concubine and confiscating a house will hurt your health. I'm still young, and I'm learning how to ride a horse and shoot arrows recently. I don’t want to delay because of those pickers, I’ll be annoyed when I see them, old lady, don’t listen to people’s nonsense, if my grandson has the heart in the future, he will come to the old lady to beg.”

Jia She shouted, "Who are you listening to nonsense? How can such a grown-up man not have a maid? It's a joke if you say it. Isn't your master and I in good health?"

Jia Lian whispered: "Master, what I said is true. This kind of thing is divided into people. You see, how can my thin body compare with yours? My body is like that of Brother Zhu who went first with me. You Thinking about it, the few concubines in his room are connected to the room, isn't it a loss of health?"

Jia Amnesty thought of Jia Zhu who died young, glanced at Jia Lian up and down, frowned and pointed at Mrs. Xing and scolded, "How do you take care of Brother Lian? I have only such a son-in-law, and you raised him so thin, you What are you worried about? From Lian'er's family, you can make up for Lian'er later, how can you be so thin? If you are like Brother Zhu, I will regret it to death."

"That's enough! Boss, shut up. Why are you talking about Brother Zhu? You are tired of studying!" Mother Jia's face was ashen, and she couldn't listen to them at all. Jia Zhu's concubines were all her and Madam Wang. Yes, isn't Jia Lian accusing her of killing her grandson?Seeing Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng's low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, she couldn't say anything, so she glared at Jia She and Mrs. Xing again.

They have nothing to say about this couple. Jia She will hire a maid every few months or buy a concubine outside. Mrs. Xing is used to it, but Qiuwen and Qiuyue were chosen by her to add trouble to Wang Xifeng. It was only when she got angry that she started arguing with Jia Amnesty, she didn't even have a supporter in Jia's mansion, how could she dare to speak out when she saw Jia's mother angry?

Mother Jia scolded Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing, and warned everyone in the big house to be safe, and took advantage of the opportunity to ask Wang Xifeng to hand over the power of the house to Mrs. Wang for the time being, so that she could raise her baby with peace of mind.Wang Xifeng didn't care about this, she was able to hold the power easily before, and she will be able to do so in the future. The old lady can't let the second room take care of the house all the time, and the Wang family will not agree.

Mother Jia demoted the first house and lifted the second house, and beat everyone up again. She felt that the power of the old matriarch was still strong, so she settled down and continued to live a life of spoiling her grandchildren, and let Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng's aunt and nephew go Hit the ring.

But Mrs. Wang has always eaten vegetarian food and recited Buddha's name, she pretended to be very kind, so naturally she couldn't just drive people away like Wang Xifeng, so with Mrs. Wei taking care of those mothers who were in charge, Mrs. Wang couldn't act as freely as before.

Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian went back to the yard together. Jia Lian saw Ping'er who was leaving after serving tea, and asked in bewilderment: "Why does the old lady remember the maid next to you? I don't see anything special, and I don't know who is in the old lady's place." I'm chewing my tongue."

Wang Xifeng glanced out and said with a smile: "What else can the old lady think about? It's just that we want our eldest son to make troubles for himself. Seeing that I have suppressed my aunt and the whole family is in charge, what can the old lady do?" Huh? It’s not a day or two since she favored the second wife. It’s not uncommon to take the opportunity to suppress me. Besides, the more inconspicuous Ping’er is, the smarter she is. Wouldn’t I be disgusted and dismissed like Yu’er? The old lady chose her because she expected that she would not be stupid enough to cause trouble immediately, and she would always have some ability to make things difficult for me."

"You mean that Ping'er is just pretending? Why are your dowry maids not worrying?" Jia Lian asked in surprise. As for the old lady's matter, he has seen it clearly for so many years, and he has long passed the age of resignation .

Wang Xifeng shook her head and said, "It's not just my maids. Look at the maids in the mansion who don't think carefully. The maids around my aunt are either staring at Baoyu or Brother Huan. Needless to say, the maids around Baoyu Oh, and the mandarin duck next to the old lady, haven't you noticed that mandarin duck smiles three times more every time she talks to you than to other people?"

Jia Lian chuckled, he didn't know much about other people's affairs, but he still knew that Yuanyang had so much meaning for him, "Look at you, everything can come around me."

"Didn't you mention Ping'er first? Isn't she the one the old lady specified to give you?"

Jia Lian cupped her hands and begged for mercy, "Okay, Second Mistress, can't it be okay if I don't say anything? Just now, I have been covering the old lady's place for you. I didn't even take a look at Ping'er and Yuanyang."

Wang Xifeng glanced at him with a smile, "You're smart, that's enough, don't play tricks with me, go to practice."

"As ordered, the second mistress rests, Xiaosheng will go." Jia Lian leaned over and kissed her, and went into the inner room to practice "internal strength".

Wang Xifeng likes the way the two get along very much, they are relaxed and full of joy every day, if there are no people who are in the way.She called Nanny Qi in and asked, "I asked you to choose a few safe and honest girls, how did you choose?"

Nanny Qi smiled and said: "Second Mistress, don't worry, the person has already been selected. They don't look that outstanding, but their tempers are really responsible. I have taught them a lot of things, and they are just waiting to serve Second Mistress."

"Well, let's call them up then."

"Then... Ping'er and the others..."

Wang Xifeng tapped her fingers on the table, "They're pretty smart, they didn't do anything superfluous, and they served them wholeheartedly, so let's find them a good family and give them a generous dowry. I don't have that much energy now. , You choose and then report to me."

"Yes, the old slave will do it now."

Nanny Qi came out of the palace, her eyes were very poisonous, and she was very measured in handling things, so Wang Xifeng didn't worry about entrusting her to do things.The four big families are very similar in many places, such as the young master's dandyism, such as the maid's heart, but the big house is slowly getting better, and it won't take long for the courtyard to be truly clean.

Wang Xifeng handed over the power, but her status as the second grandmother is still there, so she can naturally care about the servants or punish the servants who have made mistakes.She tends to not hang out outside, but if anyone commits a crime in front of her and let her know the mistake, he will also be slapped with a board, punished with a monthly punishment, or even kicked out.But on the contrary, whoever does a good job, she will give the richest reward in the mansion.

For example, if someone is in a hurry to use money, after confirming it is true, she will use her private house to help the servants. If there is something at home, she will order people to adjust the errands to give the servants a holiday, and whoever does the errands well, she will reward jewelry or silver. , very generous.If things go on like this, although the slaves in Jia's mansion still think that the second grandma is strict, no one says that the second grandma is unreasonable. On the contrary, the slaves in the mansion all say that the second master of the big house and the second grandma are kind and righteous, and they are rare and good masters. As long as you don't make mistakes, you will never be wronged for no reason, and great rewards are waiting to be won.

Dafang's heart desires, Mrs. Wang's hard work for many days can't restore this momentum after all, and she drugged Jia Lian early in the morning, and Wang Xifeng is pregnant, which makes her more uneasy, fearing that many years of calculations will be in vain.This day, Wang Xifeng invited a doctor to come to check his pulse. The doctor just got a reward and left the mansion with the servant, but was stopped by Mrs. Wang at the second gate and invited to Rongxi Hall.

Mrs. Wang asked a little anxiously through the gauze curtain: "How is Second Mistress? Is she pregnant with a brother?"

The doctor's surname is Liu, and he often visits rich and noble families for medical treatment, so he understands their thoughts very well.He didn't diagnose whether the child was a boy or a girl, but he thought that Madam Wang was Wang Xifeng's real aunt and her husband's aunt, so she must be very concerned about Wang Xifeng. At this time, he said that the child would be rewarded if he said it was a boy, so he bowed his head Smiling to Mrs. Wang, he said: "Congratulations to the second wife. According to the pulse, the second grandmother is probably pregnant with a boy. If the second wife wants to be sure, please ask an imperial doctor to come back and see the second grandmother."

What Dr. Liu said was false and true, even if he gave birth to a girl in the future, he could still evade it, but to Mrs. Wang's ears, these words were just the doctor's modest words. Her mind was filled with the idea that Wang Xifeng was pregnant with a boy, and the eldest wife would have a son. Sun's matter.She dismissed Dr. Liu casually, and paced back and forth in the room anxiously. Dr. Liu was very surprised that he didn't get the reward. He vaguely understood that the affairs of this family were different from what he thought, so she left in a hurry, for fear of getting involved in the back of the house. privately.

Without the confidant of Zhou Rui's family, Mrs. Wang couldn't find someone to talk to when something happened, and my head ached from thinking about it.Although she is in power now, what she can do is not as good as Wang Xifeng's words. She is very unwilling, and she has already made arrangements for the big house. Jia Amnesty and the Xing family will no longer have children. Wang Xifeng came in before all the medicine was used up, and she couldn't do anything after kicking out all her nails, but Jia Lian must have had a hard time with offspring, but Wang Xifeng's stomach was upbeat, and she was pregnant with her brother as soon as she entered the door.

If the eldest son had a grandson, no matter where the title came from in the future, they would not be able to get the title from their second wife, and the old lady's help and Yuan Chun's backing she had thought of would be useless!Mrs. Wang thought about it for a few days without sleeping or eating, and finally decided to let Wang Xifeng have a miscarriage.But this matter is too difficult, Nanny Qi came out of the palace and knows all about these dirty things, it would be as difficult as heaven to harm Wang Xifeng under the eyes of Nanny Qi.

Mrs. Wang didn't find the opportunity until the old lady's birthday. At that time, Wang Xifeng was chatting with a group of female relatives who came to celebrate the birthday. Accidentally bumped into each other, hurriedly went to the side hall to change clothes, and the maid who followed Wang Xifeng was also anxiously called to help during the banquet.Wang Xifeng talked with the masters in the house, but no one was particularly vigilant.Mrs. Wang took advantage of this moment to ask the little girl to pour tea on Wang Xifeng's skirt, and led Wang Xifeng to another room to change clothes.

Wang Xifeng didn't see her servant when she went out, so she didn't think much about it, but when she saw that the little girl didn't panic at all and seemed to take her to the back room as expected, she became a little suspicious. With his head down, the fingers holding the handkerchief were so hard that they turned white, which seemed unusual no matter how you looked at it.

She immediately recalled all the puppets in the mansion and asked them to report recent news from each house. When it was the turn of the puppets next to Mrs. Wang, three servants suddenly rushed out from the corner of Wang Xifeng's side, and bumped straight at Wang Xifeng!

"Mrs. Wang asked Dr. Liu if the master was pregnant with a brother. After that, she looked anxious and couldn't sleep or eat. Then she called a few servant girls and told them..."

Wang Xifeng listened to the puppet's detailed report in his ears, quickly pinched his fingers and used the lightness technique to take a big step back. At the same time, he pointed like three servants, and the three servants suddenly lost their balance and bumped into each other fiercely. It fell into a heap, and the one who pressed her head down was the little girl who led Wang Xifeng.

The four screamed on the ground, and a few maidservants who rushed over were very surprised when they heard the voice, "Second Mistress, this is... why did the boy come to the backyard? Shouldn't he be at the front right now?" Serving? Second Mistress, but what happened? How are you, are you surprised?"

Several people looked at Wang Xifeng's slightly protruding belly and asked anxiously. Wang Xifeng's expressionless face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and he waved his hands coldly, "I'm fine. They deliberately murdered me and asked someone to take me to death." They were arrested and locked in the woodshed of the big house, and no one was allowed to see them. Remember to keep their mouths shut so as not to disturb the old lady's birthday banquet."

"Yes, Second Grandma." The maids looked at the four people on the ground in shock, and hurriedly found a few strong women to catch them. The four shouted for injustice, and before they could say a few words, they were gagged Wang Xifeng didn't listen to their explanations at all. She already knew from the puppets that they were the ones Mrs. Wang hired to harm her. Sometimes the master didn't need any evidence to deal with the slaves. Falling miscarriage, this is the reason.

After the four of them were escorted away, Wang Xifeng looked at the room in front of her with heavy eyes. The maid next to her asked her if she wanted to go in and change her clothes. She shook her head with a sneer. There was still incense prepared by Mrs. Wang inside. The drug is still a drug, it is not a good thing after all, she turned around and left, her palms covered her skirt on the way, and the wet part of the skirt dried immediately.She is not interested in anything in the room. If Mrs. Wang dares to do this, she must have arranged a countermeasure, and she will not be able to find the second room if she tries to find it. But she still does not need evidence. She knows who did it, and that person will There must be a price!

Wang Xifeng sent two puppets to follow Mrs. Wang, and they took turns to report on Mrs. Wang's movements every day. They also sent two puppets to Mrs. Jia's side and one to Mrs. Xing's side. If you can't get along with her, she has to make them uncomfortable.

When Wang Xifeng returned to the yard, Nanny Qi had already changed her clothes and was anxiously looking for her. She was relieved when she saw that she was fine, and quickly apologized and said, "Slaves shouldn't have left. There are so many people here today. It's a mess." Very, it’s because the slaves didn’t think carefully, so I asked the master to punish them. And the girls who came with me today, actually left the master to help in the front, regardless of priority, I will definitely punish them when I turn back.”

Wang Xifeng's complexion was still not good, and he shook his head and said, "Let's talk about this later, you should immediately inform Xing'er and Wang'er, and let them find evidence that Mrs. Wang committed crimes outside. And the nail you planted in the second room, let them find it." Give out the IOU for Wang's profit, and sue the old lady after the birthday party. Any servants who have been wronged by Wang will sue the old lady today. The bigger the trouble, the better. But family ugliness must not be publicized. You tell them to wait for the guests to leave before moving."

Nanny Qi narrowed her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The second wife has plotted against the master?"

Wang Xifeng briefly explained the matter, and finally sneered, "They want to make me uncomfortable, so I will make them uncomfortable first! Everyone is staring at my stomach, and I just want to give birth to the child, so that I They watched my children grow up in the day-to-day fuss."

Nanny Qi immediately thought of the reason why Mrs. Wang did this, and she felt chills in her heart, and she made up her mind to mention it to Wang Ziteng and his wife later. They are both daughters of the Wang family, so closeness still needs to be separated. The Wang family will definitely not tolerate her if she is harmed by such means!

Grandmother Jia's birthday was celebrated, and Grand Concubine Nan'an and Princess Beijing both came to celebrate her birthday, which made Mother Jia very proud. During the banquet, she drank two glasses of wine and watched a play with them, talking and laughing. With a red face, he sent away a group of guests.Here, Mother Jia happily returned to her yard in a sedan chair. When the sedan chair stopped, she suddenly realized that it was very quiet outside. She opened the curtain and saw more than a dozen servants kneeling at her door, all of them looked sad, as if something had happened. event.

When those people saw Jia's mother appearing, they immediately cried and shouted for grievances. Some shouted for themselves, some for their parents and children, and some for relatives and friends.

Jiamu's drunkenness has subsided completely, her face turns blue and white, which is very ugly. No matter who is behind this kind of trouble on her birthday, she will not let it go. If it wasn't for Da Wang's being too stupid, how could these things be involved, she wouldn't believe that these people dare to tell lies in front of her.

Mother Jia called them into the main room, and listened to them talking about Da Wang's crimes one by one. Da Wang was kind on the surface, but in private, many people died unjustly. Several people cried and talked, distraught, but these mothers still You can find excuses to perfunctory the past, but you can't ignore the box of IOUs for profit and the documents left by champerty lawsuits!Many wives may have done these things, even she herself is not a clean-handed person, but if the matter is found out with evidence and evidence, it cannot be ignored, otherwise once it gets out, the entire Jia family will be shocked. Gotta be told!What kind of family is so unruly?

Mother Jia was so angry that her hands trembled a little, she urged people to call Mrs. Wang, and also asked people to call the other masters. With such a big commotion, instead of letting them guess and talk nonsense later, it is better to start They all gathered together to deal with the Wang family.

After the birthday banquet was over, Wang Xifeng went back to the big room to deal with the four slaves who wanted to plot against her.She didn't hide it from Jia Lian, and told him all the things that Mrs. Wang wanted to plot against her, and what she did secretly afterwards. Jia Lian nervously pulled her to question for a long while, and when she was sure she was fine, she gritted her teeth and scolded Mrs. Wang severely.When Jiamu sent someone to look for him, he was still angry and helped Wang Xifeng to the west courtyard. When he saw Mrs. Wang, he wanted to rush up to beat and scold. If his eyes could kill people, Mrs. Wang might be killed countless times by Jia Lian!

Mother Jia had a bad premonition in her heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Brother Lian, why are you staring at the second wife? Can't you forget about your age?"

Jia Lian first carefully let Wang Xifeng sit on the chair, and then sneered at Mrs. Wang: "The elders are unkind, and the younger ones are unfilial! I can't afford such an elder, who spends all day restless thinking about harming my wife and children, hum , I’m a junior and I can’t do anything, but I believe in the cycle of heaven, and if you do too many bad things, there will be retribution, look, isn’t this retribution?”

Jia Zheng was upset, "Brother Lian, what are you talking about? Do you ever talk to elders like this?"

Jia Amnesty looked at Mrs. Wang suspiciously, "Brother Lian, what do you mean? The second family hurt your wife? And your son? Tell me clearly!"

Jia Lian looked at Mrs. Wang gloomyly, and said before she and Jia's mother opened their mouths: "The second wife asked someone to plot against Brother Feng. She not only found a strong young man to hit her, but also put the murderer in the room. The incense lures Brother Feng to change clothes. The second wife has gone to great lengths to harm the heirs of my big house! Unfortunately, my wife is born smart and has seen through your tricks. I have sold your bastards I went to the coal mine, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law are very willing to know what you have done!"

Where will Mrs. Wang recognize it?He pulled Jia Zheng back with a look of being wronged, "Master, old lady, you believe me, I have never done this, Brother Feng is not only my nephew and daughter-in-law, she is still my natal niece, we are My aunt and nephew, how can I not look down on her? Brother Lian's murder of the heir of the big house is really going to kill me. If this doesn't clear my innocence, I, I will hang on the beam all the way. gone!"

Jia Zheng frowned and cupped his hands, "Mother, in the past few years since Mrs. Wang entered the house, she has never done anything out of the ordinary. I don't believe that she harmed Lian's daughter-in-law. There must be something wrong, you should investigate carefully and give the Wang family justice."

Jia She angrily pointed at Jia Zheng and cursed, "You heartless bastard, you are not satisfied with living in Rongxi Hall, and you come to harm my grandson, you and your husband are the same. Hmph, Brother Zhu is gone, Baoyu You are also a little pervert, your second wife has already suffered retribution, and you still refuse to repent, is it easy to bully us when you are the first wife!"

"Boss! Shut up! What are you talking nonsense about?" The old lady stood up and tapped her cane desperately, "I'm not dead yet, so you can't accommodate the second wife?"

Jia She gave a strange laugh, "Son, how dare you? No one in this house dares to offend Mr. Zheng, the second bedroom. Who knows that Mr. Zheng is an official and lives in Rongxi Hall. He is the head of our Jia family. , I am afraid that if I offend Mr. Zheng, he will let his wife kill me!"

"You——you—" Jia Mu pointed at him, his face changed back and forth, his heart felt like a big stone was pressed, and he passed out as soon as he rolled his eyes.

Everyone didn't care about accusing each other, and hurriedly asked someone to help the old lady to the bed, and called the doctor to come to check the pulse. They couldn't let the old lady die on her birthday, otherwise they would all be unfilial.

Wang Xifeng sat on a chair at one side, scanning everyone's expressions one by one. Now she doesn't need to interrupt anymore. With her husband backing her up and her father-in-law helping her out, as long as Dafang wins this battle, his status in the mansion will be unparalleled. People can be shaken.She has to keep her home safe.
