Aunt Xue of the Red Chamber is not easy to mess with

Wang Wan suppressed her impatience and listened to Wang's complaints, and sighed secretly. She really didn't understand that her elder sister had both sons and daughters now. Jia's mother trusted her far more than Zhang's. Why did she bother with Zhang and Jia Min? The two are in a dilemma, so what good is it for my sister to make Jia's mother unhappy because of Jia Min?

Mrs. Wang was happy to speak, but seeing her sister's indifferent face, she felt a little annoyed, and suddenly she was embarrassed, waved her hand and said, "I know you don't like to hear these things, so I won't tell you anything. I want to tell you, the old lady wants Bao girl to hold this birthday banquet in Jia's mansion, so as to give Bao girl some face."

Wang Wan's complexion was a little blue, she didn't know what kind of expression she should put on to face Wang, she said anxiously: "What's the reason for this? Why does Bao girl lose face when she works in Xue's house? There is such a run on Human?"

"Sister, don't be angry, I'm afraid the old lady is trying to win you over." Wang said without any sincerity, "I guess it's because of my sister-in-law."

Wang Wan was anxious and said: "Bao girl is young, how can I bother the old lady to take care of her, but I can't bear it."

"That's exactly the reason." Xue Cheng walked in from the door and said, "She just lived at home at a young age."

When Wang saw Xue Cheng, she couldn't say anything more, so she just raised a smile and said, "What my brother-in-law said is right, it should be so." While speaking, she got up and said, "It's my aunt's birthday tomorrow. It must be coming, it’s getting late today, so I’ll go back first.”

Wang Wan and Xue Cheng looked at each other, and hurriedly said: "Sister, why are you so anxious, the kitchen has already prepared the food, and it's not too late to go back after using it."

"No need, the old lady is still waiting for my reply, so I won't stay any longer." Then she led people out of Xue's house.

Sitting on the carriage, Mrs. Wang closed her eyes and meditated, with no expression on her face. Sitting on the side of Zhou Rui's family, she felt a little frightened, and subconsciously moved her body. Seeing Mrs. Wang frowned, she didn't dare to move at once. , looked at Wang's expression carefully, and then said cautiously, "Ma'am, maybe my aunt doesn't understand very well, such a good thing can't be asked for by others, so how could she push it away?" She sighed secretly, earlier she felt that the concubine was not the same as before, and the wife wanted to take advantage of this birthday to get money from Xue's family, I'm afraid it would not be so easy.

Mrs. Wang bit her lower lip, a little annoyed, and said in a deep voice: "In the past, whenever I told my younger sister to introduce noble ladies in Beijing and help her get into this circle, she would be filled with joy, and she would give me money , but why are you suddenly not interested in these now?"

If Wang Wan knew what she was thinking, she would definitely complain. How could she know what her sister was thinking?This is too euphemistic, most people probably won't understand it.

"Madam, it's too late to say these things now." Zhou Rui's family had no choice but to remind: "If we go back like this, the old lady will definitely be angry." He didn't put his concubine in his eyes, and now he is celebrating the birthday of the eldest daughter of the Xue family, and he has been refuted, so it's strange not to be angry.

Mrs. Wang snorted, and then said slowly: "Since my sister doesn't care about it, why should I worry about her?" Then she leaned against her and closed her eyes without saying a word.

Regardless of what Wang Shi was thinking for the time being, let's talk about Wang Wan, since she sent Wang Shi away, she looked at Xue Cheng and said, "Master came to look for me today for something?"

"Can't you come if you have nothing to do?" Xue Cheng asked slowly.

Seeing that he didn't care about him because he helped her speak today, Wang Wan shrugged and said, "If the master is fine, I'm going to rest." Then she turned and prepared to leave.

"Wait." Xue Cheng was a little helpless, and said: "I heard that the loyal prince of the Ningguo Mansion, the old Qiansui, is very close, and he has to go to the East Palace almost every day. This is no secret." Xue Cheng He narrowed his eyes, his voice was very indifferent, and he opened his mouth after a long while: "Because of Xue Tan's incident earlier, I guess the old Qiansui was already dissatisfied, but now there is Zhen Guifei's third prince and his successor fourth prince. At this time, Lao Qiansui will not embarrass the Jia and Wang families because of the insignificant Xue family, and brother-in-law's appointment as the governor of the Beijing camp is the most important thing, so we don't have to worry about it."

Wang Wan pursed her lips and said, "You want me to keep a distance from the Jia family?"

Xue Cheng sighed after a while, and said again: "I heard that the saint reprimanded Old Qiantui again in the court hall."

Wang Wan bit her lip, how could such rumors be heard so easily, so Wang Wan didn't ask any more questions.

"I heard that Jia Zhen wants to marry a girl from Qin Ye's family for her son Jia Rong?" Xue Cheng glanced at Wang Wan meaningfully, and then said: "Then Qin Ye's family is poor, and no matter how good the Qin family's daughter is, Jia Rong is The eldest grandson of the entire Jia family is also inappropriate in terms of status, so Mrs. Jia doesn't object to such a woman?"

Wang Wan lowered her eyes and said nothing, only Xue Cheng said again: "I'm afraid there is something hidden in it, it has nothing to do with our Xue family, and it has nothing to do with it, I just don't want you The reason for this is getting involved in things that shouldn’t be involved.”

"I'll save it." Wang Wan nodded, looked at Xue Cheng and said, "Baby girl's birthday, it's just our family and I have fun."

"It's good that you understand." Xue Cheng then smiled, nodded, and then sighed: "I'm afraid this Beijing is not easy to treat." He seemed a little worried.

Wang Wan was silent.

The next day, Wang Wan tidied up and went straight to Jia's house. Since the old lady wanted to celebrate Bao's girl's birthday, she couldn't pretend that she didn't know, and happened to go to pay for it.

Qiao Cui tidied up her hairpin for her, and said puzzledly: "Madam, why are you doing this, you will be there in a few days, and now the old lady of the Jia family is probably in a fit of anger."

Wang Wan raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "After all, it's the kindness of the old man, we should go and accompany him."

Qiaocui saw that she had made up her mind, so she stopped trying to persuade her.

Wang Wan went to the Rongguo Mansion. Before that, she opened the middle door wide to welcome them in, but now, she just entered through the corner door. Wang Wan endured it, and as the saying goes, if there is no sign from the old lady, how could these women dare to do this furious.

Wang Wan didn't say anything, she just squinted her eyes, this crime must be paid for, and it's enough to bear it.

After walking to Rongxi Hall, Wang Wan saw two people supporting Mrs. Zhang and was about to go in. She had a light smile on her face, and when she saw Wang Wan, she smiled and said, "What's wrong with Mrs. Zhang this early in the morning?" Here we come."

"Greetings to Sister Zhang." Wang Wan saluted Mrs. Zhang with a smile, and then said: "I failed the old lady's good intentions, so I came to make amends to the old lady."

Mrs. Zhang nodded with a smile, and naturally understood the meaning of these words. After the younger siblings came back yesterday, the old lady was very angry. With a frown, she smiled again: "Mother was very angry yesterday. , my sister can pay more attention later."

Wang Wan was a little surprised. She didn't expect Mrs. Zhang to remind her that she was Mrs. Wang's biological sister, so logically she should be in the hostile camp.

Under the notification of the little girl, Wang Wan and Mrs. Zhang entered the Rongxi Hall together. After paying their respects, Wang Wan looked at Jia Mu's expressionless face and said with a smile: "It's also her blessing that the old lady loves Bao girl. How can I not know." She said but sighed: "It's just that she is young, how dare she bother the old lady like this, isn't it our sin, what she knows is that the old lady loves her, what she doesn't know , thought we were crazy." As she said that, Wang Wan wiped her tears and said, "Even though I don't know the rules, our master is still here, so how dare we bother the old lady to do it."

When Jia Mu first listened, she was quite calm, but at the end, her complexion turned livid.

Mrs. Zhang lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up, but she heard Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "What's the matter with my sister?" Then she quickly apologized to Jia Mu, and said, "Old lady, my sister has a straight temper. Clumsy, that's not what she meant."

"What does that mean?" Mother Jia slapped the table and said angrily, "She's complaining that the old woman meddles in her own business."

Wang Wan acted panicked, and hurriedly said: "Look at what the old lady said, I definitely didn't mean that, I meant that our master..."

"Listen, listen, my wife is very kind, but she has been wronged so much." She took two deep breaths and said, "That's all, even if it's about your Xue family, our Jia family shouldn't." Intervene in this hand."

Wang Wan curled her lips secretly, isn't that what it is? Today she can see clearly that the clothes of the women and maids of the Jia family don't seem to be new. It's a common practice for the maids and maids to wear new clothes this New Year's Eve. It's a lot tighter than before.

Wang Wan looked at the old lady's expression, and said: "There is also the matter of sister Min, the leader. The old lady misunderstood me." She seemed not to see Jiamu's ugly face, and said: "I was thinking about it. After all, Brother Xuan is from the Lin family, so he brought him to the Lin family, but he never expected to cause such a trouble to Sister Min." After saying that, he quickly saluted the old lady a few times.

Although Jia's mother was very angry, she stretched out her hand and didn't hit the smiling face. Wang Wan's attitude was so low that she had to provoke her. After a long while, she held her head and said that she had a headache. Under Wang's eyes, she wanted to kill her. He offered his farewell in trepidation.

Seeing Wang's expression, Mrs. Zhang first offered to send her off. Wang Wan was noncommittal and only showed a panicked gesture, but Mrs. Zhang chuckled lightly, and said, "Hurry up and put away this expression, but it's too late." It doesn't look like it."

Wang Wan's cheeks froze for a moment, and she raised her head embarrassingly, only to hear Mrs. Zhang take a careful look at Wang Wan, then raised her eyebrows and said, "Why should my sister offend the old lady?" What good would it do her.

"Sister, you have wronged me." Wang Wan hurriedly swore, "I didn't mean that." She seemed aggrieved as she said that, she blinked in wonder, and said, "I'm just telling the truth."

"You have told the truth." Mrs. Zhang smiled, raised her eyebrows and said, "But what you mean is that the old lady meddles in her own business too much, and bullies nobody in your Xue family around the corner." That's more than that Well, if someone really listened to it, I'm afraid they would say that the Jia family didn't take the Xue family seriously, that Mr. Xue is alive and well, and it's ugly to say that the old lady cursed him.

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Wang Wan again, this so-called clumsy person, this mouth is really unforgiving, and ordinary people can't bear it, but she doesn't understand, she offended the old lady like this , what good is it for her?

Wang Wan and Mrs. Zhang came to the second gate, Wang Wan saw that there were maids and women around, then wiped the corners of her eyes, and said in tears: "I am grateful for the old lady's kindness to Bao, but we are juniors. You can't bother her so much, can you? I didn't sleep well last night, so I just wanted to make amends to the old lady."

Mrs. Zhang glanced at the women who were waiting around, raised a smile, and said: "It should be, sister, don't worry, I don't care about your business."

Wang Wan nodded, she was a little surprised by Mrs. Zhang's attitude, but she didn't care, got on the sedan chair and left.

Bao girl's birthday is coming soon, Wang Wan personally cooks a bowl of longevity noodles for the girl, er, well, she just put the noodles made by the cook into the pot, Wang Wan never cooks. Think about doing it yourself.

Wang didn't show up because she was annoyed by her, and Wang Wan didn't feel sorry, but her sister-in-law Shi and Feng came together, bringing Sister Feng and Sister Rong and Sister Yi. After dressing up, seeing Feng Shi, although he was puzzled, his smile didn't change a bit.

"Come, come, sister-in-law, come in and sit down." Wang Wan welcomed him in with a smile, and said with a smile: "Why are you two here, let the mother-in-law come and let me know, so I can make some preparations."

"They're all from my own family, so what are you going to do?" Mrs. Feng walked in first, looked around, and sighed: "I said cousin, Bao girl is your daughter-in-law, look, this shabby look " Feng sighed tut-tut, and flicked the handkerchief with a look of disdain.

Wang Wan rolled her eyes, raised her eyebrows and said, "Since you don't like it, you can just go out, why bother asking for trouble here."

"Hmph, do you think I really like your place?" Feng Shi snorted coldly, then frowned and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Shi Shi, and said: "I said younger sister, today is the same Although your niece's birthday is not relative, it doesn't make sense to disrupt the situation like you do, doesn't it?"

Wang Wan snorted with a sneer, and said eccentrically, "Sister-in-law, you don't know that, isn't this what she's always been good at." She was annoyed by this woman.

Feng Shi almost rushed over, but was stopped by Sister Rong, her face was a little burnt, she slightly pursed her lower lip, shook her head lightly, took a step forward, with a smile on her face, First bowed to Wang Wan, and then said: "Don't blame me, mother, she didn't mean that, but she was in a hurry."

Wang Wan nodded, and didn't get angry with a little girl. She liked this girl quite a bit earlier, and the expression on her face softened, and she said, "I heard that girl Rong said kiss?"

Sister Rong was stunned for a moment, her face turned red, but she bit her lower lip and said hesitantly: "But my aunt doesn't quite agree..." She looked at her helplessly as she spoke.

Wang Wan was a little puzzled, glanced left and right, and subconsciously asked, "Which family are you talking about?"

Sister Rong didn't speak, but Sister Yi stretched her neck, with a little pride in her eyes, she said: "He is the young master of Xiangyang Hou's mansion, the youngest son of Mrs. Hou, I heard that he is the most beloved!"

Wang Wan twitched her lips. She had heard about this youngest son of the Marquis of Xiangyang. After all, he knows more about this businessman. This is really not a good match. Those who play tricks on cats and dogs can be said to do all kinds of evil.

She subconsciously looked at Shi Shi, her sister-in-law's eyes were very strange, she looked like a half-smile, Wang Wan glanced at Sister Rong, after all, she couldn't bear it, and sighed: "If you want to ask my opinion, I will Let's just talk about it." Wang Wan looked at Sister Rong's anxious appearance, and said, "That's not a good match, and you can save yourself by asking around in Beijing."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" How Feng Shi screamed like a chicken being strangled by the neck, and said: "Why is it not a good match? When Sister Rong entered Qi's house, she just became Grandma Xiaoliu. With Mrs. Qi doting on her youngest son so much, Sister Rong will be happy when she goes to the Qi family." She pulled Sister Rong and cried, "It's not easy for your mother to raise your two sons. Your father has gone, and only the widowed mother One, you should be content with a marriage like the Qi family, otherwise with our life experience, there is no one better than the Qi family." As he spoke, he began to cry, and said: "I'm sorry that your father left early, otherwise Our third mother doesn't need to work so hard." She cried so sadly, Sister Yi looked at her mother, then at her sister, and started to cry.

Wang Wan hated it very much, her daughter's birthday, your mother cried, who is disgusting.

Shi Shi didn't look well, so she quickly pulled Sister Rong and said, "Okay, okay, I started crying after talking." She looked at Sister Rong and said, "Listen to what we say. It's all right to listen, the younger siblings are the ones who decide." In her heart, she looked down on this Feng family, but the old master must not ignore what the third grandpa left behind, otherwise the clansmen will see it, why don't you say that the old man loves it Is it cool?
