After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Just as Wang thought, Rongguo Mansion is Jia Min's natal family after all, and Jia's mother is still alive, no matter what happens, it is impossible for Jia Min not to visit.

Early the next morning, the greeting card from the Lin family was delivered to Rongxi Hall by the concierge.

Since he is the housekeeper of the second wife, this invitation was naturally in the hands of the second wife Wang immediately.

Holding the greeting card, Wang sneered, and said to Mrs. Zhang on the second door who came to deliver the greeting card, "You have never been to my place today, and you have never seen this greeting card, do you understand?"

Although Mrs. Zhang didn't know why, but she was just a janitor, so naturally she didn't dare to question the housekeeper's wife, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, this servant has never come to Madam's place today, nor sent anything!"

"En." Mrs. Wang nodded in satisfaction, and winked at Zhou Rui's family. Zhou Rui's family grabbed two handfuls of money from the basket on the side and rewarded Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang went there with great gratitude, and she muttered when she got out of the gate of Rongxi Hall: "What did the second wife do? Even if you hid the aunt's invitation, people will come tomorrow." , don’t you just tell the truth?”

She reached out her hand to touch the copper coins in her sleeve pocket, and listening to the sound of "crash la la", she said happily to herself: "Don't worry about it, don't care about it, how can the slaves take care of the affairs of the masters? I got a reward today." , it would be a pleasure to have a few cups with the sisters!"

On the side of Rongxi Hall, as soon as Mrs. Zhang left, Mrs. Wang said, "Get a brazier here."

Not long after, two little girls brought a brazier over.Mrs. Wang opened the post, looked at the handwriting on it, raised her right hand lightly, and threw the post into the brazier.

"Hey, ma'am!"

Zhou Rui's family subconsciously reached out to grab it, but it was still a step too late. They could only watch helplessly as the flames gradually licked the elegant greeting stickers into ashes.

"Madam, this is..."

Wang glanced at her sideways: "Why, you still need to teach me how to do things?"

Zhou Rui's family froze anxiously, and hurriedly squeezed out a flattering smile, and said in a low voice: "What do you say? My wife is smart from the beginning, so why do I need a servant to talk too much? It's just that the servant is stupid and can't figure out the intention of the wife. That's all."

Wang's complexion improved a lot now, and she said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about it, you just need to know that our family has never accepted any post from the Lin family today."

"Yes." Zhou Rui's family quickly responded, paused, and then asked, "The aunt will come tomorrow, what do we need to prepare?"

"What are you preparing for?" Wang said with an innocent face, "Who knew she would come? Why did you prepare? Since it's an unexpected guest, it's only treated as an unexpected guest!"

Listening to the joy in her tone, Zhou Rui's family said yes again and again, and lowered their heads not daring to let Mrs. Wang see her expression.

——She really didn't understand why her wife insisted on having trouble with her aunt?

The aunt is just a married woman, and she will not compete with her for family wealth. The married uncle is still capable. If he wins over, it will also be a help to the master in the court, right?

But with her wife's temperament, she knew that once she got into a dead end, eight horses would not be able to pull her back.If she went up to persuade her rashly, she would definitely get a big embarrassment.

Wang Shi didn't notice the abnormality in her expression.

In fact, as long as she thinks that Jia Min will be humiliated tomorrow, she will feel very happy.

It's just a pity that there is no way to share this joy, so she can only enjoy it by herself.

After she had had enough of flirting alone, she asked about other things: "By the way, where is Wu Xindeng's?"

Zhou Rui's family said: "She has gone to eat, why don't the slaves go and remind her?"

Wang said: "Quickly call her over."

"Yes." Zhou Rui's family went to call Wu Xindeng's family full of jealousy.

Zhou Rui's family and Wu Xindeng's family were both Wang's dowry maids, and they almost married the stewards of the Rongguo Mansion in tandem.

It's just that Zhou Rui is rather honest and honest, but Wu Xindeng is very open-minded.

Therefore, although both of them became Wang's confidantes, daughter-in-law and son after marriage, Wang handed over the matter of lending outside to Wu Xindeng and his wife.

You know, this is a big fat gap.

When I was a girl in the south of the Yangtze River, Mrs. Wang's Mrs. Zhen and the third wife, Mrs. Xiao Zhen's, both ran this business.The steward and daughter-in-law who help the two wives run errands don't need much every month, just scrape off a little layer of oil, and it's enough for the whole family to eat and drink spicy food.

Zhou Rui's family has been greedy for a long time, but when she thinks about the wood in her house, she feels angry: nothing will happen at all!

When I found Wu Xindeng's house, Wu Xindeng's family had run out of food and was picking their teeth on the porch.

Seeing Zhou Rui's family, she quickly put the silver stick back into her bun, and warmly greeted her: "Why is Sister Zhou here? I was just looking for you."

After all, the two were selected together as Wang's dowry maids, and they have a good relationship after all these years.

Therefore, although Zhou Rui's family was jealous, they would not show it in person, and said with a smile: "Madam has something to do with you, come with me."

The member of Wu Xindeng's family grabbed her hand and walked with her, then asked: "I remember, the eldest girl of my sister's family is eighteen this year, right?"

"That's right," Zhou Rui's family couldn't help cursing, "That dead girl doesn't have the slightest bit of wit. I managed to arrange her in Mr. Zhu's room. She's fine, even a girl with no background However, she is still a second-class maid!"

Wu Xindeng smiled and said, "Sister, why should you be angry? Anyway, Master Zhu is still young, and my sister doesn't intend to let the big girl be the man's roommate."

Zhou Rui's family looked left and right, and lowered their voices and said, "This is for us to talk about ourselves, not far away, just look at the two big-hearted people who came with us as a dowry, what is the end of that? It is when we are alive. , is no more respectable than us two servants. I can't bear my girl to be tortured like that!"

"It's better for my sister to see things thoroughly." Wu Xindeng slapped his thigh and cut straight to the point, "I don't want to go around with my sister anymore. I have a good matchmaker here and I want to lead the big girl. If my sister thinks it's okay, she can do it." I beg my wife to let my niece go out two years earlier to be a good citizen and a decent lady."

Because Wu Xin came to the family is not a random person, when Zhou Rui's family heard it, he quickly asked: "What kind of person is it, can you tell me?"

Wu Xindeng's family said: "To tell you the truth, my brother is also my first cousin. His family is in the antique business. He is the only son. The future family business will be his."

"Antique business?" Zhou Rui's family immediately thought of the newspapers saying that they were broken, but they were actually good things that she had confidante, but she never found a way to dispose of them.

If there is such a son-in-law...

However, I still have to let the head of the family go and see first.This is a matter of the daughter's life, and it must not be sloppy.

"Since it's the person introduced by my sister, I think it's not too late. Wait for two days, let my family treat your family to drink."

This is what it means to see each other.

Wu Xindeng's family saw that he was well-connected, and quickly apologized with a smile: "How can I let Brother Zhou spend money? Let my family invite Brother Zhou."

"That's okay." Zhou Rui's family was also straightforward, "If it's true, I'll bring two big carps to my sister!"

The two of them talked and laughed and had already reached the main room, and hurriedly suppressed their smiles, and went in to meet Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang really wanted to ask about lending.

Wu Xindeng's family answered cautiously, and then flattered a few more words, making Wang's service comfortable, and then came out with a pair of shrimp beard bracelets rewarded by Wang.

Zhou Rui's family sent her out, but finally couldn't help but show a sour feeling: "It's my sister who has the ability to get such a fat job."

Wu Xindeng's family grinned, and put a bracelet on her wrist: "Sister Quan Lao has been considerate of me in front of my wife."

Although she got a fat job, Zhou Rui's family served Wang's personally, and Wu Xindeng's family naturally did not dare to neglect her.

Otherwise, she would take her eye drops every day in front of Mrs. Wang, and she wouldn't be able to do this job for long.

Zhou Rui's family couldn't help but say a sour word. In fact, she served in front of Wang's body on weekdays, and the rewards she got were definitely not much more.

Now that Wu Xindeng's family is doing such a good job, and thinking of the antique dealer she found for her daughter as a matchmaker, naturally she doesn't want to really hate her.

The two spoke a few more words in a friendly manner, and Zhou Rui's family said: "My wife can't leave her, so I'll go back first."

Wu Xindeng's family jokingly said: "I think it's not that my wife can't live without people, but she can't live without you, sister Zhou?"

"Fuck you!" Zhou Rui's family spat, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, what's the last name of the family you mentioned?"

Wu Xindeng's family said: "The surname is Leng, and that brother's name is Leng Zixing."

"Cold?" Zhou Rui's family thought about it, but they couldn't remember any famous businessman with this surname, and they probably weren't big businessmen.

But after thinking about it, if it was really those wealthy businessmen, they wouldn't rush to marry a maid!

Zhou Rui's family quickly figured it out, bid farewell to Wu Xindeng's, and went to wait on Mrs. Wang.

******

"Ma'am, I met Wu Xindeng's family again at the second wife's place today."

In the main room of the East Courtyard, Song's dowry Ge Shun'er's family ran in.

Mother Liu couldn't help scolding: "You're in a panic, what does it look like?"

Mrs. Song was feeding Jia Lian with a bowl of double-skin milk. Hearing this, she smiled and interceded for Ge Shun'er's family: "She doesn't behave like this on weekdays. Just pay attention in the future."

So, Mother Liu stopped talking, but still gave Ge Shun'er's family a hard look.

Ge Shun'er's family hurriedly refrained from walking, smiled flatteringly at Mama Liu, walked slowly to Mrs. Song with small steps, saluted with blessings, and said respectfully: "Mrs. The second wife summoned Wu Xindeng's family. Wu Xindeng's family came out of Rongxi Hall and went back to their own house. About half an hour later, Wu Xindeng left the city with a package."

Song put down the small bowl of Geyao porcelain and asked the nurse to carry Jia Lian down.When Jia Lian was five or six years old, it was the time when people hated dogs. He was very clingy. Seeing that his mother had something to do, he refused to leave.

Mrs. Song has always been a strict mother, so she immediately put on a straight face: "Lien'er, don't make trouble!"

Jia Lian suddenly thought of her mother's ruler, and couldn't help shrinking her neck, obediently letting the nurse hold it down.

After confirming that Jia Lian had gone far away, Song asked, "But are you sure where Wu Xindeng has gone?"

Ge Shun'er's family said: "The guy in my family is looking for someone to watch, he went to the south of the city."

"Very good!" Mrs. Song sneered, "Continue to let people stare at Wu Xindeng and his wife, it's best to catch them."

"Yes." The members of Ge Shun'er's family responded with high spirits.

It's not her fault either.

Whichever master in this mansion gains power, the slaves around him also rise with the tide.

People like them from the big house have been bullied by the second house for a long time, now seeing the opportunity to prevent the second house from turning over, how could she not be excited?
