There is a phoenix in the Red Chamber

Even though Wang Xifeng was in bed for confinement, the news in the mansion still knew about it.

For example, when Qin Zhong died, although the timing was a bit wrong, Wang Xifeng didn't care.

After Qin Zhong's death, Jia Baoyu was depressed and depressed all day long. In order to make him happy, Jia's mother thought about it, and Xiangyun was picked up by the historian. It was not good to pick him up right away, so she asked Lin Zhixiao's family to pick him up. I'm going to invite Lin Daiyu to stay for a few days.

When Jia Baoyu heard that sister Lin was coming, he forced a smile on his face.

But Lin Zhixiao's family returned empty-handed, and Jia's mother was a little dissatisfied. Is Ruhai going to have a divorce with Jia's family?

The next words of Lin Zhixiao's family made Jia's mother happy again, "Old lady, it's unfortunate that Miss Lin is not at the mansion, and Aunt Lin met in person and said that Miss Lin was taken into the mansion by Princess Rong'an." , went to study with Princess Changhua, and now, together with Princess Changhua, was taken into the palace by the Empress Dowager."

Mother Jia is overjoyed. Princess Rong An is the only legitimate daughter of the Empress Dowager. She has a noble status and is a few years older than the present emperor. She is loved by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager the most. , the empress dowager's nephew, a childhood sweetheart, it's a pity that after two years of marriage, the son-in-law died in battle, leaving only one daughter.

After Princess Rong'an remarried, she loved the daughter left by her cousin very much. She was the heart of Princess Rong'an and the Empress Dowager, and she was bestowed the title of Princess at birth.Even the current Holy Majesty loves this niece very much.

Yu'er is so lucky that she became the companion of Princess Changhua, and now she can still enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother.

As soon as Lin Zhixiao's family said this, everyone's eyes fell on Xue Baochai intentionally or unintentionally. After all, Xue Baochai entered Beijing under the banner of being elected, but in the end there was no news.

Xue Baochai was calm and composed, and said with a smile: "Sister Lin didn't reveal the slightest word about such a big happy event, so it can be seen that she is born with us!"

Lin Zhixiao's family said with a smile: "Miss Bao doesn't know, but the princess Changhua and Miss Lin met at the flower banquet held by Zhu's family, the head of the Hanlin Academy, and they held Miss Lin's hand for some reason. He insisted on taking Miss Lin to her house. Princess Rong An personally came to persuade her, but she refused, and cried when she left Miss Lin. The princess was so distressed that she had to ask Mrs. Zhu to be a guarantor, and went to the Lin family in person. I promise I won't wrong Miss Lin. Aunt Lin saw the situation of Princess Changhua with his own eyes, so he just agreed. It was the day before yesterday. According to the decree, Princess Changhua and Miss Lin were taken into the palace."

Jia Mu smiled and said: "This is also the fate between Yu'er and the princess." She met Princess Changhua, and because she was born prematurely, she was not only weak, but also very shy.I didn't expect to like Yu'er so much!

Everyone rejoiced, but Jia Baoyu was annoyed when he heard that Lin Daiyu couldn't come, "What's so good in the palace? Eldest sister has entered the palace, and she hasn't seen her for several years. Now why are you sending younger sister Lin to that shameful place?" place!"

Mother Jia hurriedly covered Jia Baoyu's mouth, "Good boy, don't talk nonsense!" What is a shameful place? If this word got out, it would be thought that the Jia family was dissatisfied with the royal family!

Mrs. Wang turned pale with anger, "Baoyu!"

Li Wan and the others hurriedly stood up.

Jia Mu glanced at the crowd, "Baoyu is happy and confused. Don't spread what you say today."

Everyone nodded.

After coming out of Jiamu's place, Mrs. Wang was still very angry. Fortunately, the affairs were complicated, and soon there was no time to be angry.After persisting for a few days, Mrs. Wang finally fell ill.One is that she is getting old and can't keep up with energy, and the other is that in the past ten days, she has already filled in nearly 2 taels of silver, and her heart aches.It's really distressing, and I can only let Zhou Rui's family deal with the matter of profiting money again.

But family affairs can't be left alone. Li Wan and Yingchun Tanchun, the former has been widowed for many years after all, while the latter is young and has not experienced any major events, so it is inevitable that they are a little bit tied.

What Jia Mu meant was that Wang Xifeng is now four months old, and her fetal image is stable, so she can come out to housekeeper, but Mrs. Wang hesitated thinking about what Ma Daopo and Jingxu said earlier, what if she offends her mother?

"Feng girl finally became pregnant, if you are tired, wouldn't it be bad?"

Mother Jia didn't speak, just looked at Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang couldn't help it, so she had to tell Mother Jia what Ma Daopo and Jingxu had said.

Mother Jia didn't dare to take this risk either. Everyone in the family hoped that the mother would have a smooth sailing and have a son and a grandson as soon as possible, so that the wealth could be passed on.

"Then who will take care of the family affairs?" Mother Jia frowned.

"Baby girl is smart, why not..." Mrs. Wang said tentatively.

"No! There's no reason to let a relative who lives in the house be the housekeeper. If word spreads, people will laugh!" Mother Jia retorted flatly. "Let the eldest wife be the housekeeper, that's the deal." The eldest wife is the housekeeper, and girl Feng will not just sit idly by.

Mrs. Xing's eyes widened when she heard Jia's mother's words. She has been married to Jia's family for so many years, and she also had a daydream of being a housekeeper's wife, but the cold reality has long since wiped out her wishful thinking. Erjing, now that she has given up on this heart, she enjoys playing with her granddaughter and concubine every day.At this moment, Mother Jia actually proposed to let her be the housekeeper?

How should this house be managed?

"Do you have anything to say?" Mother Jia looked at Mrs. Xing.

"No, what about Xi'er? Xi'er was brought up by me, and she couldn't do without me." Mrs. Xing asked, although she was not smart, but now she would wink at her, Feng girl is such a strong one Many people hide themselves because they are pregnant, which shows that being a housekeeper is really not an easy task.What's more, the master is willing to talk to her now. From the master's words, she also knows that this family is not easy to manage.Especially now, the garden is still being repaired. The garden has been repaired in an extremely luxurious way, with gold and jade, far exceeding the original budget.If money is not in hand, should she use her private house to make up for it?

That will never work!

"There are wet nurses and maids." Mother Jia said, she thought that Mrs. Xing would happily agree to her proposal, but she was not very willing!

"How can the wet nurse and girls do it? How can they be as caring as my own grandmother, I don't feel relieved to let them take care of Xi'er. Feng girl is pregnant now, and the fetal image is not good. I can't let the master and Lian'er both Take care of Xi'er, man!" Madam Xing said.

Mother Jia said angrily, "If you don't trust the wet nurses and girls to take care of you, send Sister Xi to me."

Isn't that still the same?Mrs. Xing muttered.But she could tell that Mother Jia was determined to let her be the housekeeper.Instead of blindly declining and angering Jia Mu, she could only agree.

Wang Xifeng looked at Mrs. Xing who was frowning, and smiled, "Madam, don't worry, I will ask Ping'er to help you. Anyway, there are old rules, you just deal with them." Then whispered in Mrs. Xing's ear, "If If you need money, you can send someone to find the second wife, it's about your mother, and the second wife will not ignore it."

Mrs. Xing's eyes lit up, yes, as long as she doesn't let go, who can force her to take the money, anyway, it's not her face that will be lost, whoever benefits the most should be in a hurry.

Mrs. Xing went happily.

As for Jia Xi, who still lives in the East Courtyard, Jia She is reluctant to leave her granddaughter, let alone let Xi'er out of his sight.Anyway, now that Jia Xi is young, he spends all his time having fun, and Jia She is the ancestor of having fun, and the family takes Jia Xi to play all day long.

Later, the mansion was no longer enough for the two of them, so Jia She simply took Jia She out of the mansion.

At first, Jia Lian was busy with the sea-going ship. He didn't know about it, but when he found out about it by chance, he spit out a mouthful of tea, "Isn't this just nonsense? You don't even try to persuade him."

"Is there anything to persuade. The master is not confused, and he will not take Xi'er to places he shouldn't go. He just wanders on the street or goes to an antique shop. Xi'er is very happy! I also learned from the master. Many things, now, can distinguish agate from carnelian. I heard that the master plans to take Xi'er to live in Zhuangzi for a while, and teach Xi'er to ride and shoot!" Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

Jia Lian said with a wry smile: "Master hasn't ridden a horse for a long time, and he still teaches Xi'er to ride and shoot?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and said nothing, Jia Lian came to his senses, yes, although the master is not good at riding and shooting, there are still many soldiers of the old master in the village.

"Sir, don't you think our family has a female general?" Jia Lian looked helpless.

"It's just keeping fit, Xi'er is still young anyway. The house is a mess these days, following the master is better than following others." Wang Xifeng said.

Jia Lian thought about it too, sighed, and stepped back, "That's right, Xi'er is still young."

"Take a break when you're tired!" Wang Xifeng said softly, but looking down, Jia Lian had already fallen asleep.

Wang Xifeng had a rare outburst of kindness, so she took the quilt and gently covered Jia Lian.These days, Jia Lian is not only busy with the garden, but also with the sea boat, so busy that his feet don't touch the ground.

At this time, Ping'er opened the curtain and came in. Seeing Jia Lian asleep, he quickly pointed to the outside room.

Wang Xifeng nodded, got off the couch lightly, and the two went to the outside room.

"What's the matter? Are you in such a hurry?" Wang Xifeng asked softly.

"I bought a bunch of stones in the south, and they said they were Taihu stones. They were waiting for the money. Lin Zhixiao's family came to pay the money, but the public couldn't get it out. The wife asked to find the second wife, but the second wife just fell asleep after drinking the medicine. Get off. Lin Zhixiao's family is in a hurry." Ping'er said in a low voice.

"What do the men outside say?" Wang Xifeng looked at Ping'er and asked.

Ping'er shook his head, the men outside don't care about these things.

"So she came to you?" Wang Xifeng asked again.

Ping'er nodded.

"Don't worry about her, if you don't have money, just wait a few days. Building a garden is a big deal, so don't worry." Wang Xifeng will not be taken advantage of by this!

Although Ping'er didn't quite understand Second Grandma's thoughts, she went obediently.
