Jia Yao of the Red Chamber

Chapter 19 Wang Xifeng lends money

But since Baoyu came to study with Xu Zhengling, Mrs. Wang asked the gentleman who enlightened Baoyu to enlighten Jia Huan.Ever since Mrs. Wang adopted Jia Huan, she had made up her mind to train Jia Huan well.Now that she is doing this, not only does Jia Zheng feel satisfied, but even Jia's mother, who only cares about Jia Huan's face, takes a high look at her, thinking that she is not intolerant, and those who are dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang's thoughts of controlling Jia Zheng's backyard Also faded.But Jia Huan was valued by his aunt, and Aunt Zhao's status also rose with the tide.Although she is still just an aunt, she has flattering people around her.

But Aunt Zhao didn't think it was Mrs. Wang's flattery. On the contrary, she felt that Jia Huan was also a serious son of the Jia family, and she should be equally honorable even if she was raised here.Therefore, she resented Mrs. Wang for taking his son away, and at the same time felt that Jia Huan was born by her, and instead of getting close to her, she got closer to his wife, which is a forgetful person.The two sides can't get along well, and I only feel that I am the most wronged.In addition, Zhuanyou is a villain with shallow eyelids, and he is good at making money, and he is used to provoking troubles.Seeing that Jia Huan was valued, he blindly sold it to Aunt Zhao.Just say what she loves to hear.It seems that the third master is born noble, and the wife really shouldn't tell the aunt and the third master not to get close, and said that the second grandma dare not offend the aunt because of the face of the third master, etc.Aunt Zhao agreed with these words, but at the same time suppressed her anger towards Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng and others.

This day, I just woke up from a nap, and there was no girl in the room. Aunt Zhao was about to call for someone, when she heard Hua Zhi and Liu Qiao, who were always proud of her, muttering outside. Aunt Zhao also served people well. It was very clear, so I listened attentively.Only two people were heard saying:

Liu Qiao: "What are we doing here to serve people? What are we looking for? Is there any good future? It's just for those two coins, nothing else. It's too short now, and we're exhausted every day. What do you mean by alive?"

Aunt Zhao became suspicious, she sat on tiptoe to the side of the kang leaning against the screen, and listened more truthfully.

Hua Zhi smiled, "It's been two days short, and it was the same last month. It's just that our second mistress is not short of these two silver coins, so she can't understand the suffering of us people."

Liu Qiao was indignant, "Last month was short by two days, this month is more than two days, I may not be able to see Yin Ziying next month if I see it! I don't know if it's just us or the whole house. No. The third master is promising, who is she looking down on?"

Hua Zhi became anxious, "Is this man crazy? He is still talking about the master? Let's go, go in and have a look, Auntie should wake up."

Aunt Zhao probably knew what was going on, and knew in her heart that the two girls deliberately made her listen, but she still didn't know what to do, so she lay back and pretended not to wake up.The three of them tacitly agreed that Huazhi and Liuqiao didn't mention it since they served Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao had this incident in her heart, and she was already worried about her sister and nephew, so she wanted to make a fuss.This day, Aunt Zhao excused that she was not feeling well, so she just invited Mrs. Wang to have a good afternoon. After serving Mrs. Wang to drink tea, Jin Chuaner smiled and said, "It's hot in the afternoon, so Auntie is not feeling well, so take a rest. At least take care of yourself." , don’t worry the master and wife.”

Aunt Zhao secretly hated Mrs. Wang for giving this little girl more respect than herself, but she said with a smile on her face, "The little girl here is smart, madam, and she looks like a water onion. She is still Mrs. Will j□j people."

Mrs. Wang just said indifferently, "It's nothing to brag about, but it's all about being more diligent. She's not lazy."

Aunt Zhao knew it was because she got up early and didn't say hello, so she stopped talking embarrassingly.After a long while, I couldn't hold back and said, "My wife and my second grandma, aunt and nephew are both capable. When I saw Ping'er that day, she looked like a noble lady. It's not like me. I only deserve a few burnt ones." finished paper."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she knew that Aunt Zhao had something to say, but she still suppressed her, "I'm not talking about you, Huazhi and Liuqiao are what you want, you just teach them well."

Aunt Zhao pursed her lips, "Madam's words are very true. It's just that I don't know how to teach others, and no matter how useless the two of them are, to serve me after all, I have to think about them. Although the two girls are clumsy, they are pitiful after all. My son, I dare not speak out even after being wronged."

These two little girls are used to provoking troubles, Madam Wang knew it well, when she was given to Aunt Zhao, one was because Aunt Zhao asked for it, and the other vaguely knew that these two girls were a little worried, They hooked up around and wanted to go to Baoyu's place, but it would be better to give it to Aunt Zhao, and the three of them would do a bunch of unreasonable things, so that everyone in the house would be more bored with Aunt Zhao.Now that I heard Aunt Zhao say this, I asked after all, "What kind of grievances did you suffer? Tell me to listen too?"

Aunt Zhao said with a smile, "I shouldn't be talking about reasoning. It's not bothering me. It's just that the maids serve for a while, just for the little money. I don't know what happened to the second grandma, it was late last month , This month, I haven't seen Ying'er! The second grandma is your niece, she is the most capable person. She shouldn't have made such a mistake. I don't know if I didn't think of it for a while. It's just that I want to force it , if I see my master being soft and bullying my girls, I will really be ashamed. From now on, this mansion will have to step on my head. What's the point of living!"

Mrs. Wang was very angry when she heard these words. This is clearly pointing at herself for abusing her and embarrassing her!

Mrs. Wang thinks that although she doesn't care about things, she knows the mansion well, but she has never heard of this matter before, so she can't help being angry and anxious, and afraid that Wang Xifeng will really do something like not giving money to Aunt Zhao's girl .This is not towards her, it is harming her!If the master knew about it, he might feel that he couldn't tolerate it.All kinds of thoughts rushed into my throat, and I couldn't open my mouth for a while.

I saw Jin Chuaner stepping forward, "Auntie really thinks too much, so it's no wonder she's always uncomfortable. It's not just that Auntie's maid didn't pay the monthly money, neither did we this month. After all The master is sympathetic, these years are not bad for the few months of interest, a few days later is not a problem. If Huazhi and her two turnovers are not open, I still have some, why don't my aunt take it later and ask them to turn around for a few days first .”

After Jin Chuan'er's words, Mrs. Wang was relieved, and she was very satisfied with Jin Chuan'er.These few words, which are neither serious nor serious, mean that Aunt Zhao's girl has shallow eyelids, and a little profit will cause trouble, and that Aunt Zhao is not considerate of servants, and she didn't say any grievances when she didn't see Mrs. Wang. Well, what's even more powerful is that Aunt Zhao has changed from a person who complained of grievances to a person who beats the wind.

Aunt Zhao couldn't help throwing her head down in anger, and with her, she became inconsiderate and shallow-sighted. This little girl is really good at speaking.

Sitting in embarrassment for a long time, angry and helpless, after all, I felt so boring, I told Mrs. Wang that I was not feeling well, and went back to my yard.

After resolving this, Mrs. Wang asked Jin Chuaner again, "You really didn't pay the monthly money this month?"

Jin Chuan'er didn't dare to hide it, so she just smiled and said, "Second Mistress may be stuck, and it's not too difficult after all, just wait a few more days and it will be fine."

Mrs. Wang put down the teacup heavily, "Go and call Second Grandma over, I want to ask her how she manages the house, but I have already been questioned."

I don't mention the little girl who leads the order.

After a while, Sister Feng came and saw Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang felt better now, so she first talked with her about household matters, and then asked her to pick out two styles of clothes for Jia Yao and Daiyu together.

The sisters and nephews drank tea in two, only to hear Mrs. Wang ask, "I was just about to ask you, how much is Aunt Zhao's monthly profit?" Sister Feng said: "That's the rule of two liang per person. Aunt Zhao has Brother Huan's two taels are four taels and four strings of money." Mrs. Wang said: "Can you give them all according to the number?" Sister Feng was surprised when she saw the question, and hurriedly said, "Why don't you give it according to the number!" Mrs. Wang said: " A few days ago, I vaguely heard someone complaining about the shortfall of a penny. What is the reason?" Sister Feng hurriedly laughed and said, "Auntie's girl's monthly rule used to be one for each girl. It was discussed outside the old year, and each of the auntie's girls was divided Half of the case is [-] yuan per person and two girls per person. So a penny is short. I can’t complain about it! I’d be happy to give it to them. They’re deducting it outside, so I can’t add it. I’m just taking over this matter. How to come and go is up to me. I said it two or three times and still add these two points. They said that there is only this item. It’s hard for me to say. Now I even have good days for them every month. First, when I was away from the famine for a month, how could I get through it smoothly." Mrs. Wang heard about it and asked for a long time: "Why did I hear that the monthly profit of this month is still high? No." Sister Feng said: "It turns out that the men outside heard that they bought some Western cat's-eye stone kang screens this month, and the houses on both sides filled it up, so the monthly money was short, but it was made up for them in a few days, and it's worth talking about." My son!" Madam Wang felt relieved now, "I'm relieved when you understand immediately. Don't let other people talk about you."

After talking for a long time, Sister Feng turned around and came out when she saw that she had nothing to say. As soon as she reached the eaves, she saw a few deacons' wives waiting for him. Seeing him coming out, they laughed and said, "Grandma, what's the matter today? But it's going to be hot." It's on." Sister Feng rolled up her sleeves a few times, stepped on the threshold of the corner door and said with a smile, "It's cool to pass the door here, blow it before you leave." Then she told everyone: "You said that I've been back for half a day. My wife reminded me of the past 200 years and asked me, why don’t I tell you?” He sneered and said, “I’m going to do a few vicious things from now on. I’m not afraid to complain to my wife. I’m so confused. If your heart is rotten and your tongue can't be good, don't be a mother's dream! There are still days when you will be wrapped up in your head tomorrow. Now that you cut the girl's money, you will complain about us. I don't want to think about being a slave. Two or three girls!" While cursing, she walked towards her courtyard.

But Jia Yao and Daiyu were going to Mrs. Wang's place to eat watermelon. They just entered the courtyard when they heard these words and couldn't help but look at each other.

Jia Yao laughed and said, "Who has the guts to sue our second grandma? In this hot weather, I'm so angry!"

Seeing these two, Sister Feng quickly smiled and said, "It's not from that courtyard." After saying that, she pouted her lips towards Aunt Zhao's courtyard, "However, no matter how angry you are, seeing you two fairy daughters will bother you." No, is this going to the aunt's courtyard?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "No, my aunt told us to come and eat watermelon, but you go with us. It might be possible to reduce the fire."

Sister Feng pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm greedy for watermelon, but I have something to do when I go back, so you two can eat it for me. Just a simple question, why didn't you bring Miss Bao? They are all relatives of my own family, and my wife is happy if they are close to each other." .”

After hearing this, Jia Yao felt grateful for Sister Feng's suggestion, "I went to see Sister Bao yesterday, it seemed that it was a bit hot, so I didn't invite her out to play. My wife also knows."

Sister Feng smiled, and didn't mention it since she went back to her courtyard to arrange things.

Jia Yao and Mrs. Wang ate two pieces of iced watermelon with Mrs. Wang, and then accompanied them for dinner. Mrs. Wang didn't let her two go back to Jia Mu's until the heat dissipated.The two chatted and laughed with Jia Mu again, and after reading the children's book for a while, Jia Mu sent them to sleep on the grounds that the children could not go to bed late.

Although the lights in Jia Yao's room were turned off, she was still thinking about things with her eyes open.She loved the Red Chamber the most in her previous life, so she naturally remembers this episode, and she even remembers what Sister Feng said clearly, "I will do a few vicious things from now on. I am not afraid to complain to my wife. I am so confused that my heart will die." Don't be a mother's erotic dream! Tomorrow, there are still days when you will be wrapped up in your head. Now that you cut the girl's money, you will complain about us. I don't want to think that even a slave is worthy of two or three What a girl!" This must be because Sister Feng did not pay back the loan for a while and shorted the monthly money of the girls.

Jia Yao knew in her heart that although the main reason for the decline of Jia's mansion was that there were no successors, the lending by the rich and powerful was also hated by those in power. Now Baoyu has not yet entered the eyes of those in power. At this time, it should not leave any bad impression on those in power.Moreover, as far as she knew, the next emperor would be a vigorous and iron-blooded person. Even though she didn't know who it was, if there were no major mistakes, he would still be in power as in the original book.Then, the Jia family should try to avoid leaving a bad impression on others from now on.

However, even if she is very favored sitting in this mansion, she is still just a little girl in the eyes of others. A few words will definitely not make Sister Feng give up this way of earning money, what should I do?

During this night, Jia Yao tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
