The road to becoming a god through the Red Mansions
Chapter 39 Grandma Liu
Since the death of Jia She's grandmother Liu Shi, Jia Shishi has become the actual ruler of the Rongguo Mansion, and after Jia Daishan also died of injury, she has become a figure on the top of the Jia family's pyramid.
Although the Jia Shi family has enjoyed all the glory and wealth in the world, most of the families they are friendly with are extremely luxurious, and Jia's mother can't find much sense of superiority among them. Now that a poor-born grandma Liu came, it's not just a coincidence I scratched her itchy spot, so I had to show it off.
People often say that "wealth and honor do not return home, like traveling at night in brocade clothes", and Mother Jia also showed off to Grandma Liu.For the past three generations, Grandma Liu has been very accurate about Jia Shi's temperament. No matter what Jia's mother presents, she can only praise it, it can't be wrong!
Jia Shishi was just thinking of showing off, but he didn't expect this unknown poor relative to be so kind, he was very pleased, and even his siblings, who were opposite Ban'er, were a little bit more pleasant.She made a show in front of her, and the other wives and girls followed suit and gave a lot of gifts. Grandma Liu really made a small fortune, and she was more than happy to say a few good words.
In this life, because Wang Xifeng and Heping'er respect Grandma Liu very much, even the servants and wives of the Jia family dare not look down on her.In addition, all the clothes and jewelry are taken care of by Ping'er himself. Although they are not as luxurious as the masters in the mansion, they are also quite low-key and connotative. The look of an old lady.
After socializing in the Rongqing Hall, Wang Xifeng led Grandma Liu back to rest in her yard as usual, and they took off their hairpins and talked freely.
Grandma Liu tugged at the clothes on her body, and said uncomfortably, "I don't know what kind of good fortune this body has acquired today, and it is worthy of such a dress. Buddha and Taoist ancestors, I'd better change it quickly."
Since the last time, Wang Xifeng has admired Grandma Liu very much from the bottom of her heart. Today, seeing her deal with the old lady and the others, she took a high look at her and said with a smile: "Grandma dressed up like this is better than anyone else." It's bad, it's very appropriate to go out and say it's an old lady from a wealthy family."
Then she asked Feng'er, who was in charge of her clothes, and said: "I remember that these years, for birthdays and festivals, many clothes hairpins were sent from outside, and I dug out a few sets for my grandma to wear every day."
After hearing this, Grandma Liu refused again and again. She had already accepted many things from Wang Xifeng, so how could she have the audacity to ask for it again.
Feng'er was ordered to search the storeroom. Wang Xifeng saw Grandma Liu's uneasy look, and comforted her, "Grandma, don't be polite to me. I don't care about these things brought from outside, but I keep them for nothing. It's a pity to let it go bad. Now that I gave it to my grandma, I don't want to disgrace these things."
Grandma Liu knew in her heart that even though these things were worthless to Wang Xifeng, they were just discarded things, but it was not the case to her family.She thought for a while, said annoyed, and went back to the house where she lived, and took out an ordinary elm box, ready to give it to Wang Xifeng.
Looking at the wooden box in her hand, Grandma Liu felt a little distressed. It cost her fifty merit points, but the debt of favor was harder to repay, so she put the box on the kang table cruelly: "My aunt thinks highly of my old lady, but I also I can’t just lick my face and be dissatisfied. If I want to empty my hands and ask for so many things from my aunt, what kind of person am I?”
Just as Wang Xifeng was about to speak, she was stopped by Grandma Liu raising her hand: "People often say that there is reciprocity. I have won many aunts and aunts. Let me pay back the gift today."
"I found this thing in the mountains this spring, and I was lucky. Our family is poor, and we don't need this at all. I kept two small ones, and the big one was originally intended for my aunt."
After Grandma Liu finished speaking, she opened the box. Wang Xifeng was very surprised when she saw it. The wooden box actually contained a good ginseng plant as thick as a baby's arm!This ginseng looks extraordinary, it has a complete beard and hair, and its eyebrows and eyes are faintly visible. What's more rare is that this is actually a purple ginseng, even if it is placed in the palace compound, it is also a rare top quality.
Wang Xifeng quickly looked at the servants waiting in the house, only Ping'er was alone, just now Feng'er was sent by her to look for clothes and hadn't come back yet, he took a deep breath and said: "You are always a real person, you don't show your face, this rare thing I want I have never seen it grow so big. There are a few plants of purple ginseng at home, and they are only as thick as a thumb, and they are already treasures.
Grandma Liu sighed and explained: "I also know that this is a good thing, but our grandma knows it. First, I have no backing, and second, I can't do it. How can I keep it. And if it wasn't for my grandma last winter. , the whole family probably starved to death, how could they live long enough to find this ginseng, so I said I would give it to my grandma, and my daughter and son-in-law also agreed."
Wang Xifeng really wanted it in her heart, and after hearing what Grandma Liu said, she stretched out her hand and put the box away: "Since grandma said so, I will accept it. I will remember grandma's love, and Ping'er will take me away." Bring me the red sandalwood peony box."
Ping'er heard the sound and left, only Wang Xifeng and Grandma Liu were left in the house: "Grandma, this is a rare thing to save your life. I also know that if you take it out and sell it, you won't be able to beat 10 taels of silver, but Grandma is kind-hearted, and we girls are on good terms with each other, so that's what makes it easier for me."
"Since I have taken advantage of this day, I can't treat grandma too badly. I think that even if I give grandma a lot of silver taels, I won't be able to use it for a while, and another one will be a disaster."
Speaking of which, Ping'er came in with an exquisite box, and Sister Feng took out a key from her skirt, and opened the box herself: "This is all my dowry, and I plan to give grandma a village of one thousand mu. It's near the outskirts of Beijing, only a hundred miles away from grandma's house, so it's convenient; there are two shops in Xicheng, and the place is lively, so it's convenient to rent it out, or start a small business by yourself. There is a three-entry mansion on the edge of Dongcheng, and there are scholars’ homes nearby, and it is very close to the Gongyuan, so even if you don’t live there, renting it out to students who are rushing to take the exam is also a good income.”
"There is still 2 taels of silver notes, grandma must accept it. Although I love money a little bit on weekdays, I also know that grandma will suffer a big loss, but I can only take out so much now. , I will make up for grandma in the future."
Grandma Liu got these things, although she suffered some losses, but they were all that Wang Gou'er's family needed and could keep. One could tell at a glance that Wang Xifeng was really thinking about her family.
"It is really a priceless treasure. Our family has to have that life to enjoy it. If it is really bought, it is estimated that the whole family will die within a day." Grandma Liu is also talking about the world, and the wealth is touching. , Without sufficient strength, how can one sit on such a large fortune.
Wang Xifeng didn't disturb the outsiders, but called Ping'er to carefully put the ginseng away, and then asked Ping'er to put it in a tightly sealed box for safekeeping.After Grandma Liu delivered the purple ginseng, her words and actions became more natural, and at this time she and Wang Xifeng became a little more equal.
"Grandma's belly is getting bigger and bigger every day. It's not good to keep it a secret. According to me, it's better to tell it. You are the serious wife in charge of this house, and the second master Lian is also a successor. Zong's grandson, not to mention the Eldest Master and Eldest Wife, even the Eldest Madam will protect you, so you can take care of yourself and raise your baby." Grandma Liu persuaded Wang Xifeng, whose belly was slightly bulging after taking off her overcoat.
Wang Xifeng rubbed her belly and thought about it. It seems that it has been more than four months now. If it is five months old, no one will notice even if she is wearing winter clothes.Another thing is to prepare things for delivery. The delivery room, nurse, and midwife, no matter how well she hides them, these things can't be prepared in a day or two. It seems that it's time for a showdown.
"Grandma is right. I'll send someone to invite the doctor over later. It's a happy event. I thought it was wrong." Wang Xifeng always thought that Grandma Liu was a noble person to herself, and it might be fate for herself. Well, after a little thought, I made up my mind.
Grandma Liu didn't say anything more when she heard the words, she just lowered her head and drank her tea. After all, in terms of scheming and means, Wang Xifeng alone was more than a hundred of her own.
"There is one more thing to bother grandma. My sister is almost two years old now, but she doesn't have a name yet. I think she has a good relationship with grandma, and even I respect grandma from the bottom of my heart. I want to trouble you, old man. She gave her a nickname because she wanted to take advantage of your longevity and understanding to suppress her fate, I wonder if grandma is willing to help with this?"
Grandma Liu naturally had everything she wanted to do, so she immediately said: "It's my luck. I love my eldest sister so much. It's not a good thing to get this opportunity. Last time I heard the maid said that our sister is seven Birthday on the seventh day of the month?"
"That's right, it's just that the birthday is unlucky, so there have been three disasters and eight disasters."
"Why don't you just call me sister Qiao? This is a way to fight poison with poison. What else will there be in the future? It's just a coincidence that turns danger into fortune. How about my aunt?"
Wang Xifeng murmured a few words, felt it for a second, and immediately ordered her to go down and call her Qiao Jieer. Ping'er hurriedly responded, and went out to order the maids and women not to mention it.It just so happened that Qiaojie's nanny brought Qiaojieer, followed by Ban'er, Qing'er, and a group of maids, and came back in a mighty way. The three children chattered non-stop, and Wang Xifeng's room immediately became crowded. Get lively.
The nannies and wives first waited for Sister Qiao and Ban'er to change their clothes, then put the three children on the kang and gave them toys.
Wang Xifeng embraced Miss Qiao in her arms, felt her hands and feet were warm, then said with a smile: "Our sister also has a name today, she will be called Miss Qiao in the future, don't forget."
Everyone respectfully responded, and it happened that the sister herself followed up and shouted "Qiao sister, sister" half-understanding. The childish words were so cute that everyone in the room laughed endlessly.
