Let's form a team in the Red Mansion

Wang Xifeng said to Ping'er: "Go and have a look, if eldest sister is awake, please hug her."

Ping'er went out in response, Ziwei said cautiously: "Don't bother."

Wang Xifeng waved her hand: "It's okay, she sleeps a lot during the day, and she's going to make trouble again at night."

"Kid, it's better to be naughty, it means you are in good health."

Wang Xifeng smiled: "It would be great if it's really good."

"In a family like ours, it is inevitable that the children will be more delicate. Baoyu was like this when she was a child, isn't she growing strong now?" Ziwei comforted.

Wang Xifeng really didn't know that Baoyu was in poor health when she was a child, and said: "My wife also told me that Baoyu was very skinny when she was a child."

"It's because my skin is very skinny. I don't like to stay in the house. I always run wild in the yard, and I get sick three or four times a month when I get fed by the cold wind or touch the ice water. Later, I started to read and study. They are much sicker, but most of them are pretending to be sick. But it is also strange, when I was young, I was always sick, but when I got older, I got better, and my body is much healthier." Ziwei said.

At this time Ping'er came back, and said apologetically to Ziwei: "Unfortunately, the eldest sister just fell asleep."

Ziwei hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, I will do the same next time."

Ping'er looked at Wang Xifeng again, hesitant to speak.

Ziwei stood up knowingly and said: "Sister-in-law is a noble person, so I won't bother you any more."

Wang Xifeng raised her hand: "Sister, go slowly, come back and play again."

After the two of them left, Ping'er said: "The elder sister didn't sleep, but just now Wang Shanbao's family came and said that Brother Rong from the East Mansion is going to get married. The biological one was adopted from the Yangshengtang."

Wang Xifeng was surprised and said: "Brother Rong is the eldest grandson of Dongfu, why did you ask for such a daughter-in-law?"

"I don't know. Uncle Zhen also said that the sooner you get married, the better." Ping'er didn't understand.

Wang Xifeng thought for a while, and said: "The matter of Dongfu has nothing to do with us. Why did the second girl suddenly come here today?"

Ping'er said what he just heard, Wang Xifeng looked down at the little clothes carefully, suddenly smiled, pointed to Ping'er and said, "Look at it."

The little clothes looked like they had been made with great effort, and the patterns were embroidered vividly.But the fabric and silk thread are so ordinary that even Ping'er doesn't wear such clothes.

With Yingchun's personality, she would never dare to send inferior goods to Wang Xifeng on purpose; and since she has put so much effort into the patterns, she would not choose such ordinary materials.

"What does grandma mean?" Ping'er tilted his head and asked.

Wang Xifeng thought for a while, then shook his head: "Let's take a look first, if she wants to get close to us, then let her go."

"Then this clothes, do you want to give it to the elder sister?" Ping'er asked.

"If it's underwear, I definitely won't give it to you, but since it's a blouse, you should check it carefully and give it to the elder sister if there is no problem." Before Wang Xifeng finished speaking, she thought of something, looked down at the dress, and then laughed "I really underestimated her, she is also a person with exquisite thoughts."

"The girl just left, didn't you agree to let me complain?" Siqi whispered.

"Forget it, my sister-in-law is so smart, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating." Ziwei said, in fact, she felt a little guilty after seeing Wang Xifeng.After all, she is an inexperienced little girl, no matter how thoughtful Ziwei thought about it, she started to get stuck as soon as she implemented it.

Fanghua had been watching the wind by the corner, and when she saw the two of them coming, she trotted over and said, "Girl, I just saw a woman enter the second grandma's yard."

Ziwei nodded indifferently, and hurried back to the yard with the two of them.

Wang Xifeng is a very shrewd person, making friends with her is not as easy as Ziwei thought, and it is not as difficult as Fanghua thought.Occasionally, Ziwei discovered that Wang Xifeng was illiterate, so she began to help Wang Xifeng write invitations and gifts, and thus learned that Jia's family has a big business, and the people who come and go are all upper-class families in the capital.

Four kings and eight males, this concept became clear in front of Ziwei for the first time.Now it is not only the Jia family that is in decline together, but the entire group of aristocratic families descended from the founding heroes.They are no longer of much use value to the emperor, and their existence will consume a lot of manpower and financial resources of the imperial court.Among these people, there are few outstanding ones and many dandy ones, and most of them are living in the ruins of their ancestors.

The Ze of the Gentleman, will be cut for the fifth generation.Now almost all the descendants of the fifth generation of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes have been born. I am afraid that in a few decades, no one in the capital will mention this name.Because of this, Mother Jia's position in Jia's family is so detached. Her social circle is completely different from Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang. It is a high-level contact network that only real Dukes and wives can have.

The other one is the four big families, but the decline is much worse than the four kings and eight princes.The Xue family is an imperial merchant; the historians also mostly rely on Jia Mu; the prince Teng of the Wang family is a very powerful official, he is considered the most outstanding person in this generation.

As for the Jia family, Ziwei could only sigh from the bottom of her heart.

The longer she stayed here with Wang Xifeng, the more Ziwei understood Fanghua's words.The Jia family has been rotten from the root.Even Wang Xifeng complained all day about how difficult it was for the housekeeper, how to subsidize the dowry, she never thought about what to do.In the original book, she used the name of the Jia family to earn money and harm others.

Wang Xifeng is a person who is conceited and intelligent, and who values ​​power and interests. Such a person is definitely not easy to change his temperament and be influenced by others.

At the beginning, Fanghua wanted to use her as a breakthrough point, and use the Jia Lian/Wang Xifeng Tongren ideas that she had seen before as a guiding ideology to persuade her to obediently go back to the big house with Jia Lian and have a son, and make a clean break with the second room and the Dongfu. Pay back the money owed to the treasury, and escape when the house is ransacked.But she really got in touch with a lot, without Ziwei reminding her, she will understand, not to mention that she is familiar with the plot of the original work, has read countless humanities, with the help of a smart Madonna, even if there are another 100 Fanghua and Xia Ziwei, with their Experience and brains are no match for Wang Xifeng.It's not about talent, it's about shrewdness, skill, and viciousness.

Three years, I didn't know it when I came to the Red Mansion, it has been three years.

Ziwei already has the appearance of a big girl, and her sense of presence in Jia's mansion has also increased a lot.Daiyu liked to play with her the most, so Baoyu came more often.The Jiu Lianhuan incident made Baoyu and Jia Xuan know each other. Jia Xuan didn't like Jia Baoyu very much, because they were not only a generation behind, Jia Baoyu was also younger than him, and his family members let him hold Baoyu.But in order to be able to see Fanghua more times in an open and honest manner, he can only make friends with Baoyu reluctantly.

There are many people around Baoyu who flatter him, and it's not that he can't understand Jia Xuan's attitude, so he feels a little unhappy.In addition, Daiyu admired Jia Xuan's skill in solving the Nine Links, and he was even more jealous.But Jia Xuan is good-looking, and Baoyu has always been tolerant to good-looking people.

So although these two people don't like each other very much in their hearts, they still played together for three years.

And Wang Xifeng also got a lot closer to Ziwei, and mentioned her in Jia Lian's ear from time to time.Jia Lian is not a person who doesn't understand general affairs, nor is he a person like Jia Baoyu who wished that his sisters would be at home to play with him.In the past, he didn't care, but now that his wife keeps mentioning it, he can't help but start paying attention to Jia Yingchun, a concubine younger sister.

"Supposedly, she is not too young, but no one in the family mentioned marriage to her." Wang Xifeng said.

"You really care about her," Jia Lian said.

"If it wasn't for your sister, I wouldn't bother to care about it." Wang Xifeng said angrily.

Jia Lian liked to hear this, so he smiled, and then sighed: "I have a good candidate. Although the family background is not good, but the person is good, and the family members are also good-natured. It's just that I can't pass the test of the master and wife."

When Wang Xifeng heard that her family background was poor, she was a little reluctant. She also had a candidate, a nephew of her natal family. The family was very rich, and there was an uncle who was a general of the third grade of Suzhou Zheng, and Ziwei was about the same age as Ziwei. quite.This nephew is good at everything, but he is a bit rebellious. The family hopes to find a submissive daughter-in-law, and he doesn't ask for dowry or anything.

Worried about the Spring Festival, Wang Xifeng said again: "By the way, Xue's family just sent a letter, saying that they will go to Beijing soon."

Jia Lian gave a smirk: "You know what, my favorite are these rich fools."

Wang Xifeng smiled and thumped him: "Let me just say, money is whatever you want, but don't imitate him and go to that messy place."

The arrival of Xue's family did not affect Ziwei too much. Xue Baochai's permanent residence is still the Lixiangyuan where their family lives. Every day, she has to learn the etiquette in the palace with the nanny that Aunt Xue invited at a high price. It was only at Mother Jia that she could be seen.

Daiyu became jealous again because of Baochai's affairs, and played chess with Ziwei all morning.Baoyu watched obediently from the side, and soon Jia Zheng's mother-in-law came to call him, and Baoyu went to see his father in fear, not forgetting to tell Ziwei and others to inform Jiamu, preparing to rescue herself.

Seeing that Baoyu was gone, Daiyu didn't play anymore. She begged two chess books from Ziwei and took them back to read.

Seeing that the two of them had left, Fanghua said to Ziwei: "Someone came by Second Mistress just now, and said that if Second Miss is okay, she can go and sit there."

Ziwei said: "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

"It's probably about the birthday gift of Mrs. Lin'anbo." Fanghua thought for a while and said, "Yesterday I heard sister Ping'er talking about it, saying that the second grandma has been too busy with this matter to sleep well these days."

Ziwei sighed: "She is always so busy, I see that this year, the second brother has some resentment towards her."

Fanghua curled her lips: "Some people just like to be busy and love power. If you don't let her take care of things, she won't feel at ease. It's a pity that if she got a boy in one fell swoop back then, Second Master Lian probably wouldn't care so much."

Ziwei shook her head: "Forget it, this is their business, and we can't control it."

Seeing Ziwei coming, Wang Xifeng shouted loudly: "My good sister, you are here, come and help my sister-in-law to see, is there anything I missed?"

There were several account books piled up on Wang Xifeng's desk, and there were more than a dozen large and small boxes beside them, which were used to hold gifts.

Ziwei was by the side helping to read the brochure, pick out the gift box, and ponder over the wording of the gift list. After working for more than an hour, it was finally done.

Wang Xifeng let out a long breath, and smiled at Ziwei: "Thanks to you, I have saved so much trouble. Look at the second girl in our family, she is so outstanding in appearance and talent, and now the housekeeper is also an expert, such a good person , I don’t know who is going to be cheaper.”

Ziwei blushed: "I can't be my sister-in-law to boast like this, but I want to thank my sister-in-law. I used to know how to read and embroider, and messed around with the little girls. Over the years, I have learned a lot of worldly wisdom by my sister-in-law's side, and I have become more and more aware of the difficulties of my sister-in-law. gone."

Wang Xifeng smiled: "Okay, the family is still here to thank you. It's getting late, you can go back after eating with me."

Ziwei nodded, and asked casually: "What about the second brother, it's getting dark, has he not come back yet?"

"I went to have a drink with you brother Xue." Wang Xifeng said with a fake smile.

Fanghua lowered her eyes, she must have gone to find that fool Xue to find flowers and ask Liu.
