There is a phoenix in the Red Chamber

On this day, Li Wan brought all the people to look for Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng knew their reason for coming, and before Li Wan finished speaking, "Oh, it's my fault, it should have been like this a long time ago. Ping'er, bring me some money."

Ping'er guessed what Wang Xifeng wanted, and took a bag of 100 taels of silver.

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Don't say anything high-sounding, I know you are out of money, take this money, and ask for it if you don't have enough."

Li Wan looked at her with a half-smile, "Oh, that's strange. Why are you so generous today?" It's no wonder that Li Wan was confused. Wang Xifeng's housekeeper is not stingy, but he is not so generous. No matter how much money you have to do, you will never make up for it yourself.

"Otherwise? Can't you bargain with you? The sister-in-law is too, but she just started a poetry club. You don't care how much money you can use? How many years? Don't they go out all their lives?" Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "I I didn't intend to give it to me, but think about it, if I don't give it, wouldn't I become a rebel in the Grand View Garden? Forget it, why don't you spend money to buy it!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Li Wan pushed Wang Xifeng, "Look, I just asked you to get some money, so I just said these things. By the way, and that incident, it was all caused by your birthday yesterday. The old lady asked the fourth sister Draw the garden, Fourth Sister has limited materials, so I have to trouble you for this."

"Good sister-in-law, I know about this matter, you can just ask someone to make it clear to Xiaohong, and wait until I am done with the matter in front of me before you can take care of your affairs, okay?" Wang Xifeng laughed.

When Li Wan came in, he saw a lot of servants and wives standing in the corridor. He thought there was something to do, so he said, "That's all, let's go with the money. If she doesn't do it later, let's trouble her again."

Everyone smiled and nodded. Just as they were about to leave, Li Wan suddenly remembered, "By the way, Baoyu made a mistake in the first company. How do you punish him?"

"It's simple, let him sweep each of your houses, and then punish him to go to the garden to pick a bunch of flowers for each of you to put in a vase." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

Everyone said that punishment is elegant.Baoyu herself is also very happy.

When everyone was about to leave, Nanny Lai just came and sat down again, talking and laughing.It turned out that the Lai family had donated an official position to Nanny Lai's grandson, and they set up a few tables of banquets, and wanted to invite the old lady, grandma, and girls to sit there.

Wang Xifeng smiled. The Jia family's kindness to the Lai family is as deep as the ocean. As soon as Lai Shangrong was born, he was allowed to be free and enjoy the same treatment as the children of the Jia family. With his help, he became a county magistrate.But how did Lai Shangrong repay the Jia family?

When Jia Zheng sent Jia Mu's coffin back to the south, he was short of money. He wrote to Lai Shangrong to borrow 500 taels of silver, but Lai Shangrong sent 50 taels.

Hehe, 50 taels?Relying on the power of the Jia family, the Lai family got greedy, and as a result, the master was in trouble, so he wrote a letter asking for help, and sent 50 taels!

"Oh, but unfortunately, our master and second master took sister Xi out and haven't come back yet. My wife still has Brother Mao to take care of me, so I can't even think about going. There is sister Sui on Ping'er's side, just I'm an idler! Mammy doesn't mind, so I'll go."

Nanny Lai said: "Why do you dislike it? Grandma is here, we have no time to welcome it. It just so happens that we have something to discuss with grandma!"

It wasn't until he arrived at Lai's house that day that Wang Xifeng knew what was going on.

Lai's daughter-in-law approached Wang Xifeng and tried her words, because she saw Wang Xifeng's makeup shop was making money and wanted to open one, so she came to discuss with Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng agreed very readily, "Just open it. Is it possible that my family is the only one allowed to open a rouge shop in this world?" Zhou Rui's family had done the same thing a long time ago, and they had the cheek to find her and wanted to buy it from her. Some recipes.Wang Xifeng agreed, but Jia Lian didn't want to, so he obliged.These will all belong to his son and daughter in the future, can others get their hands on them?Half of Jia Lian's mind and hers were in the shop.

Lai's daughter-in-law smiled apologetically, "There are rouge shops all over the world, but it is rare to open them like grandma's. Most of the aristocratic families don't use cosmetics from outside, but grandma's shop is different. Every day when the door opens, there is a line up." It’s all those families.”

Wang Xifeng smiled and just listened without answering.

Lai's daughter-in-law saw that Wang Xifeng didn't speak, she didn't want to say anything because she wanted to save face.

After the banquet was over in the evening, Nanny Lai asked, "What did Second Mistress say?"

Lai's daughter-in-law shook her head, "Second Mistress doesn't allow any butter or salt."

Lai's second daughter-in-law said: "I just said that it's not that easy. The shop is so profitable, there are many people who are jealous. I heard that Zhou Rui's family also made a plan, but it didn't work."

"Zhou Rui's family is too greedy, how much money does her son-in-law's antique shop make, is it still not enough?" said Mrs. Lai.

If Wang Xifeng was present, I'm afraid I'd die laughing when I heard this, saying that people are greedy, so are you all innocent?

Lai's second daughter-in-law said: "Why don't we spend some money to bribe the shop assistants and steal that prescription?"

Lai Da came in and shook his head when he heard the words, "It doesn't work! You think no one else has tried it. One of the shop assistants is the second grandma's son, and the whole family's deeds are held by the second grandma. Who would dare Betrayal? Second, Second Grandma gave those guys a lot of treatment, and allowed their children to be free, and ordinary money can't move those people's hearts. The most important thing is that Second Grandma went to the yamen to file a case. She said that these recipes were all her own creations, so what kind of property rights do they have? The second grandma also offered a huge reward. If there are counterfeit ones outside, and someone reports them, they will be rewarded with a lot of money. And a fake is a fake. "

Lai's eldest daughter-in-law and Lai's second daughter-in-law sighed, "It's a pity, Kong looked at Baoshan, but couldn't take it."

Nanny Lai sighed, "If you want me to say, you should stop thinking about it, the family is really difficult? What was our family's life in the past, and what is our life now? Isn't it enough?"

Lai Da and others didn't take it seriously, how can anyone think that money is too little!

"Mom, what did you do in the past? Now that Rong'er is grown up, he is supported by his master and donated an official. He will have to go out in the future. Always mention the past, how can Rong'er gain a foothold?" Lai's daughter-in-law said.

Nanny Lai glanced at them and shook her head helplessly, "Forget it, how many days can I live anyway? I don't care about your affairs anymore, let you make trouble on your own! Just a little, don't go too far, forget the fundamentals! "

However, after Wang Xifeng went back, he teased Sister Sui to play together. When Ping'er mentioned this, Ping'er frowned, "The family's ungrateful things are really greedy and greedy. Their family can have what it is today, all thanks to the support of the master. , is not enough, you want to meddle in the master's business?"

"You're right, it's not a family that is ungrateful! They probably have long forgotten how their family came to be today. For such a person, their family is fine now, so naturally they won't do anything. With the decline, I'm afraid they will be the first to turn their backs." Wang Xifeng said.

Ping'er frowned.

Wang Xifeng said: "The water is so clear that there are no fish, but it's just relying on the old lady. Let's talk about it in a few years. It's out of their control for the time being."

Ping'er also knew that what happened here would affect the whole body.And now the second mistress is helping the housekeeper of the second room. After all, the name is not right, so she has to endure it for a few more years before trying to find anything else.

"You can also see the old lady's thoughts. After all, she is partial to the second room. The second room has a concubine, a precious jade, and the elder did not know what he did wrong at the beginning? Although the title was inherited by the elder, what will happen in the future? No one knows. I don’t like these things. If you want me to say, it’s better to separate the family and live their own lives. I’m afraid it will be cleaner. Brother Zhuo’s future will depend on him to earn it. It’s just that the master will never agree. let go."

"Not everyone has the heart of a grandma. Although I don't know what happened in the past, but our master is a noble under the order, so our house is orthodox. Can the old lady and the empress still influence the emperor's will?" No? As long as the master does not make any big mistakes, the title will still belong to our brother Zhuo in the future. Looking carefully, the master used to be a little ridiculous, but now, looking at our side, there is no big mistake to make. Just be patient Temperament, when the old lady returns to the west, they will naturally return to their respective positions." Ping'er said in detail.

Wang Xifeng smiled, "What you said is actually the same as the second master's thoughts. I don't like it, but unfortunately I am a woman. If I were a man, I would have gone outside to make a fortune."

Before Ping'er could speak, Xiaohong came in with two cups of tea, "I believe what grandma said, if grandma is a man, her accomplishments will be as good as anyone in the house!"

Wang Xifeng couldn't stop laughing, and Ping'er laughed too, "You little brat, you're used to flattering horses and saying nice things, since you came, I've gone backwards."

"Auntie is making fun of me again. I don't have such good fortune as Auntie." Although Xiaohong's words were a joke, they also carried some sincerity.

Ping'er was a little strange, but Wang Xifeng knew it well, "Don't worry, I understand your thoughts. I still can't do without you now, and you are still young. In a few years, I will plan for you."

Xiao Hong turned pale, when did grandma know?

"Don't worry, there is no one else in this room, and you, Sister Ping, are reliable. You and Brother Yun, I think you can keep it from me! If it weren't for the fact that you are my capable people and follow the rules, There is nothing beyond the etiquette, I have already sent you off. Just be patient, and we will talk about it in a few years." Wang Xifeng picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, and said.

Xiaohong knelt on the ground long ago, "Grandma, forgive me!"

"Come on, get up. I'm not the kind of frivolous person. Since I said that I will fulfill you, I won't frame you with false words. Just look at Ping'er, Xi'er and the others." Wang Xifeng said, "But your eyesight Fortunately, I usually see that Brother Yun is an excellent person, much better than Jia Rong, Jia Qiang and Jia Qin. You are a lucky future." Much better than Jia Baoyu, who has no responsibility.

Xiaohong was still a little uneasy, but not as strong as before.She has been with Second Mistress for quite a while, and she knows Second Mistress' temperament, she is not the kind who says one thing and does another.
