There is a phoenix in the Red Chamber

Wang Xifeng looked at Shi Xiangyun, "Our family is not the same as before, and many unnecessary expenses have been reduced. Except for the old lady, even the wife is the same. But even so, brother Bao, you have a daily share of chickens, ducks, and geese. One catty, beef, mutton, and all kinds of vegetables. But a few days ago, the second wife was a little angry. It was sister Yun who said to take out the duck in your order and add old duck soup to the second wife to reduce the fire. Did my sister forget?"

Shi Xiangyun stopped talking.

Jia Mu frowned slightly, "It's just the eight-treasure duck, and it's worth talking about. Tomorrow, let the kitchen cook it for Baoyu. It's out of my order."

Wang Xifeng smiled, "What the old ancestor said is that it's just an eight-treasure duck, but since he said it, he must explain it to Sister Yun, otherwise he would think that I treated Brother Bao harshly. They are the same as us, and there is nothing missing. There are a few sisters Xi in my room, and they are with us, and I didn’t give them anything alone. Even so, the daily portion is not enough. After all, how much can you eat with those few mouths in total? Why is there not enough for Sister Yun?"

Shi Xiangyun bowed his head and remained silent.

Jia Mu frowned and said, "It's so difficult at home, even if it is really difficult, it doesn't matter where it is, how can I wrong the children."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "This is also discussed with the master, wife, and second master. Sister Xi and Zhuo spend most of their time with the master and wife, and sister Sui is still young, so she eats with us. It's the same. Is it still not enough to eat? It’s the same when they are a little older and then added.”

Jiamu nodded, "Since that's the case, let's cut my quota in half."

"The old ancestor is slapping me. Before going out, the old master told me to take good care of the old ancestor. If he finds out that I have reduced your share, he will not let the second master Lian hit me. The old ancestor loves me." Me." Wang Xifeng said hastily.

Mrs. Xing also nodded, "Don't worry, the family won't be like this. It's just that Feng girl is young, and she doesn't want to raise money, so it's better to save money."

Jia Mu nodded, but she still thought about it, and discussed it with Yuanyang later, so that some unnecessary expenses could be avoided.

After dinner, Mother Jia called Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu to her side, asked Yuanyang to open the cage, and took a box of bank notes, "I was confused, your dowry hasn't arrived yet, and Baoyu is a loser, sure I don't have any savings. You take the money, and if there is anything missing, just take the money and ask someone to buy it. It's not easy for Feng girl to be a housekeeper, so no one will argue with her over trivial matters."

Shi Xiangyun was very open-minded in front of Jiamu, "Old ancestor, I just can't understand it. Sister Feng's dowry shop is so profitable, she has gold and silver, but she is so stingy. But a dish of eight-treasure duck can be spent No matter how much money, it's worth her!"

Mother Jia frowned, and looked at Shi Xiangyun with dissatisfaction, Shi Xiangyun felt a little guilty, and stood up.

"Yun girl, you are also from a big family, tell me what is a dowry?" Jia Mu said in a deep voice.

Shi Xiangyun stopped talking.The dowry of a woman cannot be drawn arbitrarily by her husband's family.Anyone who takes his wife's dowry will be gossiped about.

Jia Mu said again: "Our Rongguo Mansion has not yet reached the point of embezzling women's dowry! Don't mention this again in the future!"

Shi Xiangyun's face flushed red.

Jia Baoyu couldn't stand it any longer, and hurriedly said, "Old Ancestor, don't be angry, Sister Yun is just outspoken, she didn't mean it."

"Okay, let's go back." Mother Jia frowned.

Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun went out.

Shi Xiangyun was very disturbed, "Is the old ancestor angry with me? I am also complaining for you! I just can't understand her appearance of being in power. In the past, when the elder sister was still a noble concubine and the wife was still healthy, you see she is What is it like, what is it like now?"

Jia Baoyu laughed, "You are wrong, the second sister-in-law has always been like this, no matter what the wife says, the second sister-in-law can only go in and out, the wife said that the second sister-in-law is like a wild animal."

Shi Xiangyun chuckled, "Huh, anyway, I don't like it. Why is it so difficult at home? Only those who have no ability to save money? What does blind frugality look like? It loses everyone's dignity, so it's better to find a way Open source is what it is. If it were me, I would put the proceeds of the cosmetics shop into the public, and that would be..."

"Yo, Second Grandma Bao has such a big tone. When I turn around and wait for the historian to bring in the dowry, I will see if Second Grandma Bao will transfer all the proceeds from the dowry shop to the public. Shihou's family has a big business, and Second Grandma Bao's dowry It must be very rich, and ten miles of red makeup is not too much!" Wang Xifeng's voice suddenly sounded, and she looked at the two with a smile.

Shi Xiangyun was a little embarrassed.

Jia Baoyu hurriedly said, "Second sister-in-law, why are you here?"

"I'm here to discuss with my ancestors about adding makeup to sister Lin. Unfortunately, I heard someone talking nonsense here! Some people are very loud, and if they have the ability to get their own money, don't ask for things from the old lady." Wang Xifeng was not angry. He said, "My dowry, even the second master Lian didn't dare to think about it, but she did. What a good tutor!"

After speaking, he swayed in with people.

Shi Xiangyun was overwhelmed with shame and indignation, his whole face was blushing almost to the point of bleeding, "Love brother!"

Jia Baoyu didn't respond, Shi Xiangyun looked up and found Jia Baoyu standing there, "Brother Love, what's wrong with you?"

"Did you hear what Second Sister-in-law said just now?" Jia Baoyu asked in a daze.

"Brother love, don't be sad, I'm fine. The second sister-in-law has always talked like this, and I'm used to it. Now it's not the same as before, just be patient." Shi Xiangyun said softly.

Jia Baoyu said in a daze: "She said just now that she wants to add make-up to Sister Lin. Does Sister Lin want to marry someone too? If she wants to marry someone, why doesn't she marry me?"

"Brother love!" Shi Xiangyun was furious, "What nonsense are you talking about!" After speaking, he turned around and ran away in shame and anger.

Jia Baoyu was stunned and didn't respond.

Seeing that only Shi Xiangyun came back alone, Sheyue didn't see Jia Baoyu, so she was worried and asked the little girl to look for him, and then pulled Jia Baoyu back.

But because Jia Baoyu stood in the wind for a long time, the wind blew, caught the cold, and fell ill.

Shi Xiangyun was sad and annoyed at the same time. Brother Ai had this root cause of his illness. It was not the first day she knew that she forgot her sister when she saw her sister. Why did she get angry with him and leave him there alone? Brother Ai was originally healthy It's not good, the wind blows, and I get sick again.

Jia Baoyu's illness should have been a major event.It's just that right now, no one cares about Jia's mother or the rest of the Jia family.

Everyone in the Jia family was busy adding makeup to Lin Daiyu.

Mother Jia showed the things she had prepared to Mrs. Xing and others.

Everything is a high-quality product that is hard to buy, Mrs. Xing smiled, "With the old lady's pearls and jade in front of me, we can't even look at our things."

"Whether it's good or not is due to your aunt's intentions. Yu'er is sensible, and she can still dislike it." Jia Mu said with a smile.

Wang Xifeng sighed at the side, "Fortunately, my ancestor only has this beloved granddaughter. If there are more granddaughters, I'm afraid that all the good things of the ancestor will be sent out with me. In the future, when my sister Xi and Sister Sui come out of the cabinet, they won't be able to get them." Good stuff, but what to do!"

Jiamu spit out tea, pointed at Wang Xifeng and scolded with a smile: "Look at your hoof, you are crazy! Sister Xi and Sister Sui are only so old!"

Yuanyang smiled and wiped Jiamu's mouth.

Jia's mother said again: "There are Ying girls, Tan girls, and four girls! When they come out of the cabinet, I will add all the good things to them, and you will die of hunger!"

Tanchun Xichun blushed and fidgeted.

Wang Xifeng also laughed, "What's the big deal? Could it be that my niece and daughter are out of the court? They are aunts and don't bring some good things to add makeup? You just happen to be there, and the old lady has saved all the good things later. , I remember it all, when sister Xi and Sui come out of the cabinet in the future, if things don’t match, I won’t follow them!”

Jia Mu laughed from ear to ear, "You don't want to tear her mouth! It's all up to you."

Tanchun Xichun pulled Wang Xifeng from left to right, and yelled at her.

Wang Xifeng hid while laughing, "Good sister, good sister, I know what you're thinking, don't worry, when you leave the cabinet, my sister-in-law will also have good things. I'm ready! Brother Lan, don't laugh , you have it too!"

Jia Lan was sitting on the sidelines watching a joke, but it might as well be the flames of war on him, and he blushed on the spot, "Mother!"

Li Wan smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, your second aunt is joking."

"Who's joking! Listen up, you unmarried ones. When you get married, each of you will have a hundred acres of fertile land in the south, and a house in the second entrance. Of course, you have to take my Only when you are happy, if you are not happy, then you will be gone." Wang Xifeng said with a proud face.

The room fell silent for an instant.

Everyone couldn't tell whether Wang Xifeng's words were true or just joking.

Mrs. Xing smiled and said: "Yes, Feng girl discussed with me yesterday, the three girls, and Cong'er and Lan'er, these two boys, are all the same. This is also the intention of Feng girl and Lian'er. "

Mother Jia looked relieved, "Okay, this is the family background of everyone!"

Tanchun Xichun and Li Wan and Jialan were all a little excited.

Wang Xifeng smiled, "Sister Yun's words reminded me. But I thought, so what if there are more or less in the quota, but how much can one person use. These things are practical. I also have selfish intentions. As the saying goes, a tree cannot support a single tree, and I am also thinking about Sister Xi and the others. I can’t write two characters of Jia in one stroke, and I am a family of flesh and blood.”

After saying this, everyone lowered their heads, looking deeply touched.

Mother Jia was gratified, "Girl Feng has really improved." She can rest assured that this family is entrusted to her.

Everyone laughed too.

Since then, Wang Xifeng's authority at home has become stronger and stronger, and Tanchun and others have become more intimate with her.Only Shi Xiangyun was very upset after hearing about this.Others have it, why doesn't Ai Gege not?She thought that Wang Xifeng's actions were aimed at her intentionally, but every time she mentioned this, the topic would always be deliberately diverted.
