There is a phoenix in the Red Chamber

Inside Jia's mansion, Wang Xifeng stood there with a face of shame, Madam Wang frowned, "Where did it get to this point?"

But these words, as Mrs. Wang flipped through the account book, there was no more words.

Hey, Mrs. Wang closed the account book, full of displeasure, she looked at Wang Xifeng dissatisfied, "Feng girl, I thought you were capable, so I let you be the housekeeper. It's only been a few months now, so... "

But I can't say anything to blame, the account book is very detailed, except for the basic expenses, the master here has kept a lot of diners, how much money was spent, the master over there seems to follow the trend, buying some calligraphy and painting antiques, very It takes as much as it costs.

Wang Xifeng is a junior, so naturally she can't say much.

"It's no way to go on like this. It would be great if there is some way to make money." Mrs. Wang muttered to herself.

Wang Xifeng looked ashamed, "It's all because of my incompetence."

Mrs. Wang sighed, "Forget it, you can figure it out, save some unnecessary expenses, but there is one thing, don't wrong the old lady and the girls."

Wang Xifeng nodded in agreement, "Yes."

Wang Xifeng came out from Mrs. Wang, and Zhou Rui's family followed, supporting Wang Xifeng, "Second Mistress, slow down."

Wang Xifeng sneered in her heart, needless to say, she also knew what Zhou Rui's family wanted to do.

Sure enough, when Wang Xifeng returned to her own room, she saw Zhou Rui's family coming up, "Second Grandma, I have a way to relieve Second Mistress's worries, but this method is not easy to say. I don't know if Second Mistress has it." The guts."

In the past, Wang Xifeng had a high heart and arrogance, had a high self-esteem, and couldn't listen to other people's words, even if she knew that the other party was using aggressive tactics, she would still be fooled.

But now, Wang Xifeng just smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "This jujube tea is pretty good today."

An'er smiled, "Aunt Ping made it through early in the morning."

"Where's Ping'er?" Wang Xifeng asked without seeing Ping'er.

"Grandma forgot, didn't grandma ask Aunt Ping to send Sister Xi to his wife's place?" An'er laughed.

"Yes, I forgot about it." Wang Xifeng smiled.

Seeing that Wang Xifeng didn't answer his words, Zhou Rui's family was a little anxious, but looked at the girls in the room, and sat down again.

"Sister Zhou also try it." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

Zhou Rui's family picked up the teacup, took a sip, frowned slightly, and then smiled, "I remember Second Mistress always liked to drink Longjing tea, why is she drinking this now?"

Wang Xifeng smiled without saying a word.

Zhou Rui's family didn't care too much, and continued, "Second Mistress, what the wife said just now, although it is better to reduce expenditure than increase income, but what kind of family is in our house, blindly thrifty, making it a joke for the screwdriver outside."

These few words of Zhou Rui's family's self-confidence touched the heart of Second Mistress.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng didn't fall for it, put down the teacup, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, "There's nothing you can do about it."

The members of Zhou Rui's family hurried forward, "Second Grandma, I have a way to make money, but this method is a bit detrimental, but I know that Second Grandma, a hero among women, is not afraid of such things."

What Zhou Rui's family said was not wrong. Wang Xifeng was so bold that he never believed in such things as retribution from the underworld.

"What method?" Wang Xifeng asked.

Zhou Rui's family looked at the maids in the room, Wang Xifeng raised his right hand, and An'er immediately led the house full of maids and women down.

Zhou Rui's family whispered a few words in Wang Xifeng's ear, and it really was usury.

Wang Xifeng looked at Zhou Rui's family suspiciously, "Is this possible?"

"Of course it's possible!" Zhou Rui's family said decisively, "Those grandmas outside have done a lot. Anyway, we are doing good deeds. Every time we come and go, there are thousands of taels of silver a year. I also know that there is no shortage of grandma. The money, but in this way, the mansion doesn't have to be so frugal."

Wang Xifeng didn't agree immediately, "Let me think about it."

Zhou Ruijia nodded, "Yes."

"Are you saying that my aunt also let go of loan sharks?" Wang Xifeng asked again.

Zhou Rui's family nodded, "That's natural. When my wife was in charge of the house, she also let go of loan sharks when she had money that was not in her hand. It's okay to say that it's hurtful, just look at your wife and you'll know."

Wang Xifeng sneered in her heart, reckoning that Mrs. Wang would be as bold as Wang Xifeng when she was young, so she naturally didn't believe in retribution from the underworld, but Jia Zhu died at a young age, probably retribution.Thinking about it, Mrs. Wang didn't believe in Buddhism when she was young, that is, she only started to believe in Buddhism after Jia Zhu died.

It's just that I have done too many bad things, can it be offset by reciting a few words of Buddha?

Wang Xifeng nodded, "Okay, I understand, let me think about it."

Zhou Ruijia smiled and nodded.

Coming out of Wang Xifeng's house, Zhou Rui's family went back to Mrs. Wang, who was reciting scriptures.Zhou Rui's family didn't speak, just stood aside silently.

After reading a volume of scriptures, Mrs. Wang opened her eyes, looked at the Buddha, and recited a sentence of Amitabha.

Coming out of the Buddhist hall, "Did you say it?"

Zhou Ruijia nodded, "Say it."

Mrs. Wang pondered for a moment, "How emotional do you think she is?"

Zhou Rui's family laughed, "My wife knows about Second Grandma's temperament. How can Second Grandma not be tempted by such a lucrative business?"

"When you said it, no one else heard it?" Mrs. Wang nodded, and then said worriedly.

"Madam, don't worry!" Zhou Rui's family said with a smile.

Mrs. Wang also laughed, "Where's Baoyu? Are you back?"

"I haven't come back yet. Second master Bao went to uncle's house, is there anything to worry about?" Zhou Rui's family laughed.

"It's not that I'm worried, I'm afraid that he will play too late, and the old lady will miss it."

Zhou Rui's family smiled and said, "Then I'll go and have a look?"

Madam Wang nodded.

Zhou Rui's family went out.

In the afternoon, Ping'er came back with Sister Xi in her arms, and Wang Xifeng greeted her with a smile. The nanny wrapped Sister Xi tightly, and several maidservants came in carrying a big box.

Sister Xi could already recognize people, and when she saw Wang Xifeng, she struggled to hug her.

Wang Xifeng reached out to take it, looked at the box, "What is this?"

"The elder gave it to my sister." Ping'er smiled and asked people to open the box.

Wang Xifeng went over to take a look, and was a little surprised, they were all gold and jade jewelry, small and delicate, they looked a little old, not ordinary.I don't know where the old man collected it from.

Sister Xi saw a red agate bracelet and clamored for it.

Wang Xifeng gave it to Sister Xi, who played with it with a smile.

"Put it away, as usual, register and make a book, these belong to our sister Xi." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

After playing with her daughter for a while, seeing that she was dozing off, Wang Xifeng signaled for the nanny to carry Sister Xi down to coax her to sleep.

Ping'er also ordered someone to fetch water, and personally helped Wang Xifeng wash up.

Wang Xifeng needs to soak her feet every night before going to bed. In the foot basin is the medicinal material that she asked the imperial physician to prepare to promote blood circulation and relieve fatigue. "You can bubble too, it's good for your health." Wang Xifeng said.

Ping'er didn't refuse, and asked someone to bring hot water to soak his feet aside.

The little girls stood by and added some hot water when the water got cold.

After soaking for about a quarter of an hour, I felt slightly sweaty all over. After changing clothes, Wang Xifeng was ready to go to sleep.

Ping'er also spread a quilt on the couch next to her.

Wang Xifeng suddenly remembered something, "Ping'er, come here."

Ping'er passed by with her clothes on.

Wang Xifeng sat up straight and whispered something in Ping'er's ear.

Ping'er frowned, "Grandma, this doesn't seem so good!"

Wang Xifeng smiled slightly, "Of course I know. But you can more or less guess the current situation of the family. This big family spends money like running water, and now they can barely support it, but according to this situation, it will be a matter of time before they can make ends meet."

Ping'er frowned even tighter, "Grandma, lending loan sharks is a shame. Even if it's for the sake of sister Xi and future brothers, you can't..."

Wang Xifeng glanced at her with a smile. Although this girl, Ping'er, has her own petty thoughts, she is indeed loyal to Sister Feng. This is something that others will never say when they guess Wang Xifeng's thoughts, and only Ping'er knows. said. "I know, so, I didn't agree. Anyway, I don't lack money."

"But the wife's side..."

"It doesn't matter. If the wife wants it, I will follow suit, but this is just the opinion of Zhou Rui's family." Wang Xifeng smiled meaningfully.

Ping'er was stunned, and then he realized that he also smiled.Yes, they all know that what Zhou Rui's family said is actually what his wife meant, but if his wife didn't say it clearly, they can pretend to be confused!

"By the way, there is one more thing, you come." Wang Xifeng waved.

Ping'er moved closer, and Wang Xifeng whispered something in Ping'er's ear.

Ping'er responded with a smile, "Since the birth of Sister Xi, grandma seems to be a different person." In the past, when Zhou Rui's family said it, grandma would definitely do it without saying a word.She is most competitive by nature, unwilling to fall behind others, let alone be provoked.

now······

Wang Xifeng didn't take it seriously, and lay down again, "They are all mothers, and everything has to be considered for Sister Xi. Although I don't care about reputation, for Sister Xi, I still have to pay attention to it."

Ping'er smiled, "Don't worry, grandma, Sister Xi's blessing is great!"

Wang Xifeng smiled, "What a blessing, I just hope that sister Xi will be safe and successful in this life."

The two chatted for a few more words, and each fell asleep.

Over there, Mrs. Wang and Zhou Rui's family have been paying attention to Wang Xifeng's movement, but after waiting for several days, they haven't found anything.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Wang looked at Zhou Rui's family suspiciously, "Did you really explain it to her? Isn't she scared?"

No, she just knows her niece's temperament, so it's impossible for Feng girl not to be tempted by such a lucrative business.

"It's clear. According to my wife's order, I told my second grandmother. As for being afraid, how could it be!" Zhou Rui's family was also very puzzled.She was used to doing such things with Mrs. Wang, and she really didn't think it was a big deal to give loan sharks.Even if someone is killed, who dares to go to the Rongguo Mansion to take him down?She is not afraid, how could Second Mistress be afraid?

"Then why is there no movement?" Mrs. Wang frowned.

Mrs. Wang instigated Wang Xifeng to put loan sharks outside in order to hold the big house's handle and wait for the future.But Wang Xifeng is not tempted? /li>
