[Red Mansions] Male wife

In the end, Jia Rong had no choice but to go to the coffin shop to make a relatively good job.The funeral in the Ning Mansion was so ostentatious that Youshi couldn't take care of it alone, besides, she was too good at housekeeping.So she pretended to be sick and let go. Jia Zhen had no choice but to discuss with Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, and borrowed Wang Xifeng to take care of the family affairs.Jia Xiuyun heard about it, and followed Wang Xifeng to make fun of it.

Youshi finally looked forward to Wang Xifeng's arrival, and was very happy. He pulled Wang Xifeng and said some polite words, asking her to discipline the people in the mansion as she likes, without showing mercy to anyone.

Wang Xifeng responded with a smile: "Ask me to come, but that's what I have to do."

You Shi smiled and agreed, and only now did he turn around to see Jia Xiuyun also coming, he came a little slower, and only now came in to greet her.Youshi asked him strangely, "Why did you come here?"

Wang Xifeng glanced at Jia Xiuyun, smiled and said: "Brother Huan came to learn things with me, you forgot, I told you earlier, the master ordered me to take him as a housekeeper. Think of my sister-in-law."

"That's good, you also have more helpers." Youshi turned to look at Jia Xiuyun, and told him that he must take this opportunity to learn Wang Xifeng's methods, and it happened that such a big event happened at home, which was a good opportunity to learn.

"What he can learn, I can't guess for a long time, he must feel annoyed and run away first." Wang Xifeng joked.

Jia Xiuyun raised his eyebrows and said, "Second sister-in-law Lian, just try."

Wang Xifeng smiled, and took Jia Xiuyun and Youshi to hand over the chores. Today, she came to talk to the heavy servants first. Wang Xifeng reminded them sharply that they must be strictly controlled from tomorrow onwards, and everyone had better behave with their tails between their legs.

After the two of them finished their meal, they began to listen to the nuns' report on the consumption of tea, water, food and other things for the day.After listening for about an hour, it was finally finished.Wang Xifeng rubbed his forehead, seeing that it was getting late, Wang Xifeng was going back to Rong Mansion to rest, while Jia Xiuyun stayed in Ning Mansion.

"I have to go to that Baosha to gather at dawn tomorrow, can you bear it?" Wang Xifeng asked him.

"Yes," Jia Xiuyun agreed, yawned, turned around and took two steps, stopped again, and looked at Wang Xifeng with vigilant eyes. "Second sister-in-law, don't just focus on helping others and forget about your own affairs. You should also care about Lian's second brother when you have time."

"Hey, I've started to take care of the second sister-in-law's family affairs, and you really don't have anything to worry about." Wang Xifeng laughed.

Jia Xiuyun thought of Pei Jin, coughed in embarrassment, and left with a smile.Seeing her leaving, Wang Xifeng's face darkened, and she turned to look at Ping'er, who also showed a puzzled expression.

"Second Grandma, what does he mean?"

Wang Xifeng shook his head, hesitated for a while, and said to Ping'er: "Brother Huan is different from me. Although he is going to get married, he is a man and can walk around inside and out. I guess he must have heard some rumors before reconciling. Let me say that. Ping'er, I happen to be busy, so you will take care of the second master for me these two days."

Ping'er nodded, and went back that night to inquire about Jia Lian's young servant. From the next day, she followed Lian's second master around Rongning and Ningfu.With her staring at her, Jia Lian didn't have the guts to mess around with any woman even if Jia Lian was thinking about it.

At daybreak, Jia Xiuyun met Wang Xifeng at the place agreed yesterday.Outside the house was full of servants who were ready to receive work, and Jia Xiuyun sat next to Wang Xifeng, watching her with cold eyes as she handled chores and made an example of others.When Wang Xifeng's anger was over and his power was over, those servants shrank their necks and led the work cautiously, and went to do it individually.

Wang Xifeng finally had time to ask Jia Xiuyun what he meant yesterday.

"It's nothing interesting. The second sister-in-law won't suffer if she pays attention. It's best if nothing happens. If something happens, you can take precautions." Jia Xiuyun said.

"You, monkey spirit." Wang Xifeng smiled.

"Hey, by the way, Second Sister-in-law, has anyone heard of someone lending interest recently?" Jia Xiuyun suddenly raised his eyes and asked her.

"Interest money, what interest money to put?" Wang Xifeng smiled brighter, the purpose was to avoid revealing herself, but she didn't know that she was more vulnerable.Jia Xiuyun shook his head mysteriously and stopped talking.Wang Xifeng moved his eyeballs, stared at Jia Xiuyun and asked if he knew something.

"It's nothing wrong," Jia Xiuyun said indifferently, "It's just that I was walking around and heard the mother-in-law in our house whispering about lending money. I guess there is someone in the market who has got a little money, and his hands are itchy and greedy for petty gains. Ghost Lost my mind to do this kind of work. I don’t know that this is a disaster, and now the government is investigating this matter. I saw Uncle Pei yesterday, and he said it casually. He told me whether it was the year before or the year before. A landlord's wife was greedy for money and made a profit, and secretly used her private house to lend money behind the back of a large family. As a result, the landlord later offended someone by saying that he had no virtue, and asked others to use his wife as an excuse to sue the government on this basis. The whole family of the landlord was copied."

"So miserable?" Wang Xifeng frowned, thought about it, and then laughed. "You child, you can talk nonsense. How can the government get the evidence of lending so easily? That thing should not be kept by the landlord's mother-in-law in private."

"The wall is falling and everyone is pushing! There is no secret in this world that can be hidden. Those criminal officials who have their homes ransacked, who do things want to leave evidence and evidence for them? It's a pity that the woman's daughter is only seven or eight years old. , when it happened, she was bought to be a maid for the feudal lord."

"Oh my god, what a pity for such a young child." Wang Xifeng felt empathy when he heard that the landlady's wife also had a daughter who was not much older than Qiao's son.She opened her mouth in surprise, half covered her mouth with her hand, and had another thought in her heart.

Jia Xiuyun mainly helped Wang Xifeng manage the accounts of Ningguo Mansion, so it was easy.After staying up late at night, he saw Ping'er coming suddenly, and told all of Wang Xifeng's confessions.

Jia Xiuyun twitched his eyebrows, and looked at Ping'er puzzled: "Let me take over? Is your grandma going to be the shopkeeper?"

Ping'er knew that Third Master Huan was joking, covered his mouth and smiled and said: "Our grandma said, but it's a good opportunity to inspect you. She will look at Master from time to time to help Third Master."

"Well, I guess your master has something to do." Jia Xiuyun said casually, and seeing Ping'er's eyes darken, he knew that Wang Xifeng must have listened to his words that day and had someone watch over Jia Lian, and she Must have found something.Jia Xiuyun waved his hand and answered the job, reassuring Ping'er.

On the second day, Jia Xiuyun began to clean up the Ningguo Mansion. Most of Wang Xifeng managed disobedient slaves. Her deterrence was already very useful, and Jia Xiuyun didn't need to do anything more.This time, what he wants to "rectify" is not a major matter, such as getting involved in Qin Keqing's funeral.Jia Xiuyun read through the rules and regulations of the current court regulations on common people's officials marrying wives and attending funerals, and specifically picked out the violations of the Ning Mansion and recorded them.

When it was time to prepare for the funeral tomorrow, Jia Xiuyun would routinely hold back the expenses at this end, and sternly warned the accountant not to pay extra money, and those who violated the rules would not be polite.Besides, Jia Rong was preparing for a big show, but when he found out that the accountant didn't give him any money, he lost his temper and made a fuss for a while. Later, when he heard that the crux of the problem was Jia Huan, he lost his temper and came to him settle accounts.

Jia Xiuyun was sitting tiredly drinking tea in the pagoda, when he saw Jia Zhen rushing in angrily, put down the cup in his hand, raised his head and asked him what was the matter.

"There must be some misunderstanding. I went to the cashier to get the money but he refused to pay me. The housekeeper of Lian's second aunt didn't see you like this. The cashier is not in your charge." Jia Rong said anxiously.

"Didn't it be agreed when we invited people here that everything is up to us, otherwise how can we help you? Since you dislike it, that's fine. Fortunately, I don't care about anything. I'll tell my second sister-in-law right away It’s not good to say that our work is exhausting, not to mention wasting energy, and offending people!” After Jia Xiuyun said, he got up and went to find Wang Xifeng.

Jia Rong became even more anxious when he heard this. He was afraid that Jia Xiuyun's nonsense would offend his second aunt.Who doesn't know that the second aunt is a powerful person, not to be trifled with.

"Good uncle, look at you. Didn't I discuss it with you? How about I take you to my father and ask him to tell you. He discussed it with me at the beginning. It’s a big deal, don’t be reluctant to give up money.”

"I don't care how you spend your money, I just give you the housekeeper according to my duty. The rules of mourning have existed in previous dynasties, and in this dynasties, rules and regulations are carefully implemented. No matter what status, what kind of person should follow the rules. Even if Big Brother Zhen donated a fifth grade to you, your current funeral standard is beyond the standard." Jia Xiuyun finished speaking, and showed Jia Rong the written regulations.

"Hey, you are not the master of Qingtian, why are you so serious, our family has a funeral, we are willing to spend a lot of money, who can control it." Jia Rong said willfully.

"Oh, what you said is wrong! Minger, you have money, and you dare to open a dyeing workshop to use yellow satin, right?" Minghuang is the color designated by the royal family, and outsiders using it indiscriminately is treason.

Jia Rong heard the meaning and said angrily: "This is different."

"What's the difference? If you buried your daughter-in-law with the standard of burying a prince, how dare you tell other princes in the capital to die? This kind of thing, if it is serious, it is treason! I don't even bother to talk about you, you and Brother Zhen Whether you are really confused or not, you put your fun-loving energy into this place, and think about it carefully!" Jia Xiuyun reprimanded.

Jia Rong's face turned red and then pale when he was told. He thought it was a simple matter, but he didn't want Jia Xiuyun to disrespect him so much.Although in terms of seniority, Jia Xiuyun was his uncle, but he was older and more experienced than him, so he taught him a lesson.Jia Rong was angry, and she couldn't say no to Jia Xiuyun, so she snorted coldly and warned him to wait, then turned around and went to complain to Jia Zhen.

When Jia Zhen heard about this, she also felt unreliable, and came angrily with her hands behind her back.

Seeing that he was about to open his mouth, Jia Xiuyun spoke first: "If Brother Zhen dislikes my meddling, just say a sweet word, I'll leave right now, and you can do it yourself. I'm worrying for no reason, and I'll follow the rules for you. Avoid disasters, save money, and complain when it happens, what am I trying to do?"

Jia Zhen's words of accusation were already on the verge of her lips, she smacked her lips when she heard the words, and it was the same when she thought about it carefully.Even if Jia Xiuyun adjusted the accountant, the money would not go into his pocket, it would just save money for Ningfu.It is indeed a thankless thing to offend people.I'm afraid even Wang Xifeng won't go back to do this kind of thing.

Jia Zhen felt that she was not good at being tough, so she turned soft. He sighed, sat down beside Jia Xiuyun, and said softly, "Why are you bothering?"

"How can you say that both of you don't understand, right? It doesn't conform to the rules, it's beyond the standard. Don't think I'm looking for trouble. I also heard it from the mourner. Based on this, I'm afraid that Ningguo Mansion will be destroyed by a booklet." I will change my surname. Brother Zhen, let me advise you, don’t think that you can talk about anything if you are close to a few princes and masters. Let’s talk about King Beijing. What can the king stop?"

Jia Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and she hesitated, "This—"

"Hmph, at most, he can help find someone with a more honest personality to do it when the house is ransacked. But is this useful, and what can be redeemed?"

Jia Xiuyun's rhetorical question made Jia Zhen break out in a cold sweat.He didn't worry much about his daughter-in-law's funeral, and his own daughter-in-law, You Shi, was also complaining about her illness and didn't care about it.The son felt sorry for his wife, so he agreed.There are places that are not in compliance with the rules, but Jia Zhen doesn't think it's a big problem, and she feels in her heart that no one dares to find fault with them because of the relationship with the Ning family.Among the so-called 'relationships', Jia Zhen is most proud of the King of Beijing.However, what Jia Xiuyun said in the example just now is tantamount to dredging the bottom of the pot, completely rejecting the 'relationship' he identified.
