"Holy Father" Jia She of the Red Chamber

On this day, Jia Lian had just finished relaxing in Ping'er's room, and the two were hugging each other and chatting.

In the past few days, because Jia Lian had a falling out with Jia She, he no longer pretended to be a filial son in front of Jia She, but he also remembered that the only reason he would go to Jia She to make trouble was because Wang Xifeng told him about the screen. He felt that Wang Xifeng was provoking the relationship between their father and son. Even though he was annoying his father now, he still didn't like Wang Xifeng, so he came to Ping'er's room if he had nothing to do.

In addition, Ping'er has seen through Wang Xifeng's cruelty now, and has no respect for Wang Xifeng in the past, and she does things in the way of her aunt, but she no longer pushes Jia Lian into Wang Xifeng's room.

So now, seeing Jia Lian hugging her, sighing and frowning for a while, Ping'er rolled his eyes and said, "Master, look at your frowning, but what's the matter?"

Jia Lian sighed again: "How can you understand my master's difficulties?"

"Ping'er understands, Ping'er understands everything," Ping'er turned over and lay on Jia Lian's body: "You and the old man had such a serious fight, and now everyone in the house is discussing it," she lowered her eyes slightly Eyes, the tone is a little trembling, and it sounds a little pitiful: "If you really can't let go of this father-son relationship, you can put down your face and let the old man accompany you. In this world, there are only parents who can't hold back their children, but there has never been a parent who can't hold back their parents." children."

Jia Lian looked at Ping'er's weak appearance, touched Ping'er's back, and snorted coldly: "Admit your mistake, it's him. Since he doesn't regard Master as his son, why should Master treat him as Laozi."

Ping'er raised his head and said doubtfully, "Then you are..."

"You don't understand, Master is the money left to Master by the dead mother of Master Choi."

Ping'er lowered his eyes, what an unfilial son.

Thinking of this, Ping'er turned over and got off the bed, carefully opened his dressing box under Jia Lian's gaze, took out a small key from the corner inside, and put it in Jia Lian's hand.

"You are..." Jia Lian looked at the small key and looked at Ping'er suspiciously.

"I got it from Sister Yuanyang a few days ago. It is said that Sister Yuanyang kept the key to the ancestor's private house."

One sentence made Jia Lian sit up straight, and he frowned at the key: "What do you want to say?"

Ping'er's expression became cramped: "Ping'er just thought, since the master wants the wife's dowry so much, he must first know what the wife left for the master. Ping'er has already inquired about it. The wife's dowry list was taken by the ancestors long ago, and they were locked in her private room, just thinking, just thinking, if the master can get it, he won't have to be blind like this time."

That's right, that's the reason. Jia Lian slapped his head, suddenly enlightened, and then looked at Ping'er who was still standing barefoot on the ground. Go up: "Since Ping'er is so considerate of Master, Master must also love and love our Aunt Ping'er."

After a while, there was another groan in the room.

Sitting in the room, Wang Xifeng heard the servant report that Jia Lian had slept in Ping'er's room again tonight, so she just patted the table angrily: "It's really against the sky, he doesn't even look at what our Wang family is. Man, it's been a few days, it's been a few days, and I don't like him, so it's still my fault, how can I blame me. "

Speaking of heartache, Wang Xifeng even covered her face with a handkerchief, and burst into tears.

"What's the matter, what's the matter, who made our second grandma unhappy." Jia Lian rolled his eyes, immediately grabbed Wang Xifeng's shoulder, and teased.

Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, took off the handkerchief to see if it was her friend or someone: "You, aren't you resting in Ping'er's room?"

"Ping'er is just an aunt, a toy, nothing compared to our second grandma." Jia Lian smiled and apologized to Wang Xifeng: "My husband has been thinking about it these days, and second grandma please forgive me."

Wang Xifeng teased Jia Lian so much that she burst into laughter, and thinking about Jia Lian's indifference to her these days, she turned around angrily, and stopped talking behind Jia Lian's back.

Jia Lian frowned, stepped forward to make amends, and told a lot of jokes, only to make Wang Xifeng giggle.

Wang Xifeng nodded Jia Lian's head and blamed, "You are my enemy."

"Thank you, Second Grandma, for your love." Jia Lian said in a playful way.

After enough trouble, Wang Xifeng sat down, looked at Jia Lian and asked, "Tell me, our second master suddenly treats me, my second mistress, so well. What's the matter? Is there no money to spend?"

Jia Lian covered Wang Xifeng's hand in his hand, touched it carefully, and then said: "How can it be because of that, it's not because I hope that the second grandma can help my husband, if I help, the money is still worth it." It's not easy."

When Wang Xifeng heard this, he immediately regained his spirits: "What's the matter?"

Jia Lian smiled, took out a small key from her bosom, and handed it to Wang Xifeng: "The key I got from Yuanyang is said to be the one in my ancestor's private house."

Wang Xifeng listened to Jia Lian's words, looked at the key again, his eyes lit up, carefully put it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said in frustration: "Even if it is so what, do you still want us to steal the old lady's dowry body?" I can't do it myself."

"Of course it's not about stealing that, we wouldn't dare to use it if we stole that." Jia Lian put Wang Xifeng's hand in his hand again, and said with a smile, "But, I also want to know about my mother's dowry list, right? It’s not like this time again, if the eyes are blackened, it’s too much for the loss.”

Wang Xifeng nodded, agreeing with Jia Lian's statement: "That's true."

"So, I just want our resourceful Second Mistress to think of a way. It took me so much effort to get this key, and I ask Second Mistress to help me." After finishing speaking, Jia Lian stood up and bowed to Wang Xifeng. bow.

Wang Xifeng smiled, rolled his eyes, and had an idea in his mind: "It's settled, I will help you with this matter, then you don't want to interfere, everything is up to me."

"Okay, I'll thank Second Mistress first here."

The next day, Ping'er came to greet Wang Xifeng with her maid, Wang Xifeng waved away the servants, leaving Ping'er alone in the house.

Ping'er glanced at Wang Xifeng anxiously: "Grandma."

Wang Xifeng looked Ping'er up and down, and said with a smile: "I really didn't see it, our Ping'er is still a beauty, otherwise, I wouldn't have attracted the second master to stay in your room for so many days."

Ping'er's body shook, and he lowered his head even lower: "Ping'er knows his mistake."

"Wrong, what's wrong with you, our Ping'er is a virtuous person, and the transfer will climb on my head to make a good reputation, go out and listen now, whoever doesn't say good things about Ping'er, even my second grandma, He is no longer Ping'er's opponent."

Wang Xifeng's strange words made Ping'er kneel on the ground with a "plop" in fright, and he almost kowtowed to admit his mistake.

Wang Xifeng snorted coldly: "I really didn't know you had this kind of ability before, otherwise I wouldn't have underestimated you, and even planned to point you to the second master."

"Second grandma."

"Don't call me Second Mistress, you don't see me as Second Mistress in your eyes," Wang Xifeng yelled angrily, "We have a relationship since we were young, you just treat me like this, tell me, what is your heart for?" How could it be so dark!"

When Ping'er heard this, he quickly kowtowed and admitted his mistake: "Ping'er was wrong, Ping'er was wrong, as long as Second Grandma doesn't get angry with Ping'er, Second Grandma will punish Pinger and admit everything."

With a sneer on her lips, Wang Xifeng looked at Ping'er who was kneeling on the ground with her head lowered and kept admitting her mistake, and sighed: "It's not impossible for me to forgive you."

Ping'er quickly raised his head happily: "Second Grandma, please tell me, as long as Second Grandma asks Ping'er to do it, Ping'er will finish it on the knife mountain or in the oil pan."

"That's good," Wang Xifeng smiled, took out the key and handed it to Ping'er: "This is the key to the old lady's private house, you take it."

Ping'er took it with both hands, and looked at Wang Xifeng anxiously: "Second Grandma, you, you want Ping'er, go, steal the private house of the ancestor."

Wang Xifeng glared at Ping'er: "What on earth are you thinking? What is stealing? It's taking it back. I didn't ask you to take back the old ancestor's things. I just asked you to take back the dowry of the first wife. What do you say?" It was all left by the first wife to the second master, right?"

"But," Ping'er hesitated: "After all, it is something that the ancestor kept."

Wang Xifeng listened, snorted coldly, and looked down at her Dan Kou nails: "You said you would do anything for me, but now you are pushing back and forth, really, what you say is better than what you sing, if that's the case, forget it , I will find someone else to do this matter, you, just continue to be your Aunt Ping and a virtuous person, but the relationship between our master and servant for many years, let it go today."

Ping'er gritted his teeth and hesitated for a long time, finally grasped the key in his hand, and nodded firmly: "Second Mistress, don't worry, Ping'er will definitely complete the task."

When Ping'er turned around and left the house with the key in hand, Wang Xifeng snorted coldly: "The love between master and servant, this time, I'll see if you can serve Second Master again, I want this dowry list, Second Master's respect I want, your life, I want too."

Ping'er went back to the house, took the key in his hand and took a look in front of his eyes: "The old man is really right, I didn't expect Wang Xifeng to really entrust this job to me, so that's good, let me see it too, I Is this master worth what I have paid for her?"

It was this master, and no one knew who it was.

The next day, Ping'er took her maid and went into Yuanyang's room with a happy face. The fact that Yuanyang was delivering things to Lin Daiyu and was scalded by the snow geese was known to everyone in the house, because Yuanyang was quite embarrassing in front of Shi Taijun. Face, during this period of time, Shi Taijun specially instructed her to rest for a few days, and many maids and wives came to visit her, so when Ping'er came, Yuanyang didn't care too much.

Ping'er sat aside with a smile, watching a group of people courting the mandarin duck, and only when the mandarin duck managed to get rid of the group of people did Ping'er come forward.

Yuanyang gave Ping'er a strange look, and said with a smile, "Aunt Ping."

Ping'er has always had a good relationship with Yuanyang. Hearing Yuanyang's address, he nodded and looked around. Yuanyang immediately understood that Ping'er had something to tell him.

Ping'er asked the maid to guard the door, then lowered her voice and said, "Yuanyang, you have caused a disaster."

Yuanyang wondered, "What disaster have I caused?"

Ping'er took out the key from his bosom and put it in front of Yuanyang's eyes, Yuanyang's body immediately tensed up.

Yuanyang stood up and sat up, holding the key in her hand with a look of panic on her face. She even took out the key scraped on her neck for comparison, and was even more frightened: "Ping'er, this key, this key. Where did you get it from?"

"From my grandma."

"Second Grandma?" Yuanyang was even more confused: "How could Second Grandma have the key to the ancestor's private house?"

"I don't know, our grandma asked me to use this key to steal my wife's dowry list from my ancestors." Speaking of this, Ping'er also looked worried: "I really lost my mind, so Come to find your sister."

"This..." Yuanyang pursed her lips, frowned, and her mind was in a mess: "But, I can't give you something. If I give it, my life will be over."

"If I can't get it, my life will be gone." Speaking of this, Ping'er knelt on the ground with a 'plop': "Sister Yuanyang, you also know that ever since I was lifted by my grandma as an aunt, grandma has never taken me I am my own person, she let me do this, if it works, maybe I still have a way to live, if not, I will die."

"But you did, and I didn't end well either."

"No, no, you just said it was stolen, that's all. Anyway, the key was with you, but the dowry list was lost. During this time, my sister is recuperating, so I can't handle these things. I can't blame my sister for this incident."

Yuanyang looked at Ping'er with a complicated expression: "If that's the case, why did you tell me about it?"

"I'm just afraid," Ping'er lowered his head and cried in a low voice: "I'm just afraid, even if I do this, I won't be able to live."

"This..." Yuanyang paused for a moment, and then understood what Ping'er meant. Judging from the current situation where Wang Xifeng regards Ping'er as a thorn in his side, Ping'er might be able to live if he stole the dowry list, but if he couldn't steal it, he would He must not survive. In this back house, it is the easiest thing for an aunt to die quietly.

Thinking about it this way, Yuanyang felt that Ping'er was pitiful instead. She got out of bed and pulled Ping'er up: "My dear sister, I know that you deliberately told me about this matter, and you also let me use it in the name of recuperating for two days. , to avoid these bad things, then my sister will accept your favor, rest for a few days, and you will listen to me, and my sister will tell you where to put this dowry list, so as to save you from searching around and delaying time, I was caught." After speaking, Yuanyang brought her mouth to Ping'er's ear and whispered a few words.

After listening, Ping'er held Yuanyang's hand gratefully: "My good sister, thank you very much, if it wasn't for you, this time, sister and I, it would really be over."

Yuanyang touched Ping'er's face with pity, and sighed: "Now, I can only hope that your grandma will let you go because you still have to use it."

Ping'er smiled and nodded: "Sister, don't worry, my grandfather will protect me."

Yuanyang sighed even more, "Second Master Lian, she really can't believe it. Thinking about it this way, Yuanyang immediately thought of the big house that is improving now, and thinking about the temperament and character of the old man now, Yuanyang decided Well, if she, a virtuous girl, really finds the way of the second mistress in the end, she will beg the elder no matter what, and beg her life.
