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

Seeing her anxious look, Wang Wan immediately laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I was just joking with you, are you annoyed?" Her eyes fluttered in a charming way, and Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, stomping her feet and reproachingly said : "Look, it's still mine, isn't it?"

Wang Wan nodded her forehead, pulled her to sit beside her, and said with a smile, "Stop joking, since we've arrived in Jinling, let's stay here with my aunt." She looked at Wang You, and said with a smile: " Although the old house is watched by servants, it is empty after all, how can you live there alone when you are young."

Wang You bowed and saluted, "I listen to my aunt." Before he came, his father said the same thing.

Wang Wan nodded, and then arranged for Lai Fu's family to make arrangements, leaving Wang Xifeng by her side, and said: "I originally wanted to put you in the Bisha closet, but I was afraid that Sister Bao would disturb you to rest at night. The three side rooms are quite spacious, and the maids have tidied them up earlier, so they are still suitable for living in."

"Aunt's arrangement is enough." Wang Xifeng was happy when she heard that, Yongfu Hall should be the main room in Xue's house, and the three side rooms in the east courtyard are also pretty good. Judging from the decoration of Yongfu Hall, the Xue family is really rich It's no wonder that even if my uncle gets angry again, he doesn't want to have a quarrel with his aunt.

Ask Tong Hui to take Wang Xifeng to look at the house first, to see if there is anything that needs to be arranged. After everyone left, Qiaozhu walked to Wang Wan's side, held her shoulders, and said: "Madam, Wang Da The girl really puts her heart into it." She chuckled, and then said: "It can be seen that Madam still thinks about her mother's family in her heart, but it's just a knife mouth and a bean curd heart."

Wang Wan ignored her, sighed comfortably, and said, "What's the use of me thinking about it." She snorted, and said, "I'm no better than some people. "

Qiaozhu covered her mouth and smiled lightly, then said: "Madam's words are really boring." She looked at Wang Wan's expression, and said with a smile: "Could it be that Madam is not living well now?"

Wang Wan nodded her nose and said with a smile: "You little hoof, you've learned to make fun of me." Compared to Mrs. Wang in Rongguo Mansion, she was still glad that she became Aunt Xue.

Sister Bao's full moon wine was also lively. Although there was Liu's help, Wang Wan was still tired enough, especially the little opera singer who was singing on the stage, Wang Wan was dizzy and dizzy. It's just to watch the excitement, her cheap sister also sent her mother-in-law, Wang Wan was not very interested, she made some auspicious words, and let the nuns take her down to have a drink and have fun went.

Wang Wan was so tired that her back was sore, she tapped her back with her hands, raised her neck, and said, "It's really exhausting, it's better to hold such banquets less in the future."

Mrs. Liu shook her handkerchief, covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "Why are you so tired?" She gave Wang Wan a reproachful look, and said, "Sister-in-law is just sitting with you today, the one who is really tired Haven't complained yet."

Wang Wan sneered, and then said: "How can we be the same, I am old, younger brother and sister, you are still young, those who can do more work, don't you just talk about people like younger brothers and sisters." They get along harmoniously, Liu Shi is not a difficult person to get along with, but Wang Wan is usually easy-going.

"I really have no eyesight, why don't you help your wife sit down." Wang Wan glared at the girl beside Liu Shi, and said with a smile, "If our second master comes back, don't you feel bad about it?" The joking cheeks were flushed, and the cheeks were flushed with anxiety, and said: "If you are so shameless, sister-in-law, don't talk about it in the future, be careful to make me anxious, and go directly to tear sister-in-law's mouth."

"Hehe, are you annoyed?" Wang Wan came to Liu Shi's side, nodded her forehead angrily, and said, "Thanks to having you today, otherwise, what kind of chaos would have become?" She I don't quite understand, although I have a rough plan in my heart, but I don't quite understand it. Of course, it would be better if someone helps me. Liu's stomach is not showing yet, but he can't be careless, "Oh, hurry up!" Help your wife go back to the house to rest, Qiao Zhu, go and invite Dr. Zhang to come, and show the second wife a good look, don't make any mistakes, even if I hit my head and die, I can't afford it."

Mrs. Liu saw that what she said was getting more and more outrageous, so she ignored her, let her talk nonsense, touched her stomach, but didn't think it was wrong, and said: "Sister-in-law, don't be busy, if you invite the doctor to come , It's my fault that caused people to turn their backs on their backs."

"There are people turning their backs on their backs, but they are just girls." Wang Wan curled her lips and said, "I still listen to my sister-in-law. It's just for the doctor to see, so I can feel at ease, right?"

Mrs. Liu nodded when she heard what she said, and said, "It's really troublesome sister-in-law."

"Hey, there's no need to talk about trouble between us." Wang Wan flicked her sleeves, let Mrs. Liu lie on the couch, and said, "You just rest first, it's because I didn't think well enough to let Mrs. You are so tired."

Mrs. Liu shook her head and said, "Don't do sister-in-law's business." As she spoke, she saw a woman waiting outside, and she thought there was something to do, so she said immediately, "Sister-in-law, please be busy first, I have Yin'er here to serve you. It's all right."

Seeing that she looked good, Wang Wan felt relieved, and said: "Then I'll go out and have a look, and I don't know what happened. It's not worrying." After coming out of the inner room, Wang Wan frowned. Frowning, she looked around and said, "Yo, you guys have discussed it, and now you're all here." She stroked her temples and said, "Tell me, it's all about it."

The women looked at each other and said with an apologetic smile: "Look at what my wife said, what are we doing here, don't you know what my wife is here?" One of the leaders, the fat daughter-in-law, smiled and said: "Madam, it's getting late, we thought we'd hand in the list earlier and exchange the right cards, so we can go shopping tomorrow."

Wang Wan smiled and nodded, but looked at the fat daughter-in-law, and said: "Cai Er's family, where is your mother-in-law." She remembered that the steward in the kitchen was Nanny Cai.

"Returning to my wife, Mrs. Cai fell and broke her leg a few days ago, and now she is raising her at home." Another woman with a round face apologized and said with a smile: "My wife was confinement a few days ago, and my wife was thinking about it." I don't want to bother my wife, so I will report to Miss Cui."

"That's it." Wang Wan squinted her eyes. She had seen the kitchen's purchase list before, but she really thought that the master of the house was being taken advantage of. You said she was envious of her selfish pockets." Her tone was full of sarcasm, and Cai's daughter-in-law immediately turned embarrassed, and said: "Look at what the wife said, how can it be, mother-in-law, she really broke her leg."

Wang Wan snorted, shook the handkerchief, and said: "Come on, it doesn't matter whether it's because I really broke my leg or because I'm jealous, I don't dare to use such a servant, you go back and tell your mother-in-law to let her Take good care of it, don’t come when you’re done, just go home and rest.” She frowned, looked at the fat daughter-in-law, and said, “Cai Er’s, the pheasant soup you made, and the ham Stewed elbow really suits my taste, you can stay in the big kitchen in the future, if there is anything, come to your sister Lai directly."

The fat daughter-in-law was really overjoyed, she quickly kowtowed and said, "Thank you Madam for your kindness, I will definitely do my job well." Wang Wan laughed, wiped the tip of her nose with a handkerchief, and said, "Okay, I changed from Qiaozhu to the right one. Pai Er, just go and get busy." The fat daughter-in-law said yes again and again, but Wang Wan suddenly called her back, "Wait." Her face was not as kind as before, and she said; "You know my temper Yes, if you finish the errand, you will naturally be rewarded. If you do something sneaky, don’t blame me for not letting you go." She walked to Cai Er's side, and smiled again: "I can't be more charitable, and I know you guys too. Doing a job is hard, you just want to earn a couple of hard dollars, don’t you?”

"I don't dare, madam." The faces of the two Cai's family changed, and they quickly kowtowed, "Even if you have the guts, you don't dare to do this." Her mother-in-law had served the old man before. , Doesn’t this mean that if you don’t use it, you don’t need it.

Wang Wan pulled her up with a smile, and said: "Look, I've scared you, don't I miss you, you can't be more honest." She patted Cai Erjia's arm, and said: "I'm not I want to cut off your two hard-earned money, but, there is an old saying that goes well, people who don’t want to swallow an elephant, this is a man, don’t be too greedy.”

"Slaves please." Cai Er's family wiped the sweat from their fat foreheads with their sleeves, and said, "If Madam has no other orders, this servant will step back."

Wang Wan nodded and said with a smile: "I'm not picky about what I eat, but I just pay attention to two words, which is clean. On the chopping board, on the kitchen knife, on the pastry mold, there are many Clay pots, dishes, and bowls must be cleaned by me, without any dust or dirt, understand."

"Ma'am, don't worry, it's natural." Daughter-in-law Cai is quite confident, with a pair of dimples appearing on her chubby face, Wang Wan said with a smile: "Your pair of dimples are so good-looking, you're so beautiful " The other women who were serving also laughed, and the faces of Cai Er's family were a little red, so they had to laugh along with her. Then Wang Wan shook her handkerchief and said, "Go back."

"Ma'am!" The round-faced woman sent Cai Nanny out of the big kitchen when she heard their words just now, she was a little anxious, and she squinted at Cai Er's family, and then said with some hesitation: " Ma'am, Cai Er's family is younger after all, and the big kitchen is very important, and the mother-in-law is worried that she will delay the ladies' meal." Wang Wan only smiled, and the round-faced mother-in-law was tentatively thinking. , then said again: "The mother-in-law is wondering if it would be good if everyone from Cai came to help?"

After hearing the woman's words, Cai Er's family almost jumped up angrily, only gritted their teeth and remained silent.

"Oh?" Wang Wan glanced at the round-faced woman, squinted her eyes, and said, "Oh, I'm so ignorant. Isn't this Mrs. Cai serving at the needlework?" She laughed, Looking at the round-faced woman, she said, "Mother Wu, tell me, is it possible that everyone in Cai will still be able to take care of the spoon?" Seeing what Mother Wu was about to say, Wang Wan's face sank sharply, and she patted her face. The table said angrily: "Okay, Mrs. Wu, look at my good nature, don't you? I don't know who Mrs. Cai belongs to. Since you are already in charge of needlework, you still do everything you can to stuff your daughter into the kitchen to make a living. What?!" She frowned, and said, "Look at me, don't I know the selfish intentions of you, mother-in-law?" She said bitterly, "If you talk nonsense, all of you will go to the suburbs of Beijing to look at the garden!"

Madam Wu's face suddenly turned black and blue, which was very ugly, but Wang Wan ignored it at all, waved her hand and said, "If there's nothing wrong, go back and rest." She yawned slightly, twisted She twisted her waist and went back to the house with Tong Wen's support. The little girl brought honey water up. Wang Wan took a sip before asking, "Have you shown Doctor Zhang to the second wife?"

"Yes, I've already seen it." Tong Wen slapped Wang Wan's shoulders and said with a smile, "Sister Cui is worried and sent the second wife back in person."

Wang Wan laughed, and said: "She is clever." She waved her hand and said, "After your elder sister Cui comes back, let her go and rest today, and don't need her to serve at night." Walking into the inner room, it took a while to think about it, and asked: "Oh, by the way, didn't your master send the boy back first to say, are you home today? Why haven't you come back yet?"

Originally, she was thinking that the two brothers would come back today. After the banquet was over, Mrs. Liu stayed in Yongfu Hall. Wang Wan also knew what she was thinking, but she never saw these two come back. After thinking about it, Wang Wan felt that It's better to ask, otherwise, if others find out, it won't be said that she is not virtuous.
