The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

Wang Xifeng had many thoughts in her heart, but she didn't show any of them on her face. Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, she took her maid to Mrs. Xing's place.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat around a table, had a quiet lunch, removed the dishes and brought tea.

Mrs. Xing said worriedly: "The old lady must have annoyed us. She always thought that the master and Lian'er were messing around. This time you changed the staff there again. I heard that some of them were given by the old lady." Man, she also feels uncomfortable."

"Don't worry, madam. Both the master and the second master are well-measured people, and they won't make the old lady angry. Besides, the old lady is always kind, and she loves us juniors the most. There is something wrong with her. The old man will be done after a few words of cursing, so what is it worth?"

Wang Xifeng spoke softly, but the Xing family was not so optimistic. She has been married into Jia's family for ten years, and she knows everything about her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.Both of them are not kind people, they look like Bodhisattvas on the surface, but they behave very cruelly behind the scenes, but she knows that she has met several people.

Seeing that she was still distressed, Wang Xifeng had no choice but to wave away the servants who served her, and said a few words: "People often say that you obey your father at home, you obey your husband when you get married, and you obey your son when your husband dies. In the family, apart from Uncle Jing in the Taoist temple outside the city, who can control him?"

"Even outside, the master is also a first-class general, and the second master also has the position of a fellow magistrate. Dali Temple and Jing Zhaoyin didn't dare to say a word if he didn't do anything illegal. You, just put Keep your heart in your stomach, we are the masters, and we deal with slaves, not for a slave, but for the master's face, the whole Jia family doesn't need to see anyone."

Mrs. Xing thought over and over again, and felt that what Wang Xifeng said made sense. In the past, her master was foolish and filial, and she didn't dare to fart to the old lady.But these days, it seems that he has changed. Although he is still filial, he has a lot to offer, and he will no longer suffer in silence.

Seeing that Mrs. Xing was relieved, Wang Xifeng went back to the house to rest for a while, and took "three hundred thousand" to look at it.

This was really given to her by Jia Lian, and the two were relatively silent every night, Jia Lian was really helpless, and wanted to ease the relationship between the two.Thinking about it later, Wang Xifeng did many wrong things in her previous life, but there were also many things she didn't understand and was deliberately lured to do it. The ignorant had no fear, and it was Wang Xifeng who was talking about.

Now that both of them have died once, there is a sense of awe, but the status quo of ignorance must also be changed.

People say that reading makes people wise. Wang Xifeng was brought up wrong. They only taught her to bully others, but didn't teach her to be kind to others.Jia Lian also has a lot of things to do at this stage, and Wang Xifeng is impatient to see him, so the two of them only have time to spend together at night, and they use it to teach her to read and write, so that she can understand the law.

As for Wang Xifeng, although she doesn't like Jia Lian very much now, she also knows that studying is a good thing. In her previous life, the second wife was able to retire unscathed, and it was also because Jia Lan and Jia Baoyu were selected by Juren.And their eldest wife is really a room full of dandies and idiots, no wonder they are being teased around, so she does not object to reading and writing.

After flipping through the book and copying a few pages of large characters, the sky became dark.

The voice of greetings from the maidservant came from outside, it must be that Jia She and his son came back, but no one was seen entering the house, so they were probably invited directly to the Rongqing Hall.

Wang Xifeng wasn't worried at all, everyone had died once, and he didn't know where Jia Lian went after his death, but now he was able to speak well, and the things he quietly created were also novel and interesting, much better than the one who started all over again. .

And he has been brainwashing Jia She, I don't know how long, the old dude who was full of beauties and old ladies now has some brains.At the very least, he won't blindly agree with the old lady anymore, instead he can try to say a few words on the scene based on reason, so as not to hinder his son, and he has the meaning of attacking the grand lord.

Forget about the father and son, Wang Xifeng called the maid to come in and help her to change clothes and freshen up. If the old lady still looks at them with the same old eyes, it is not necessarily who will suffer.Jia She and Jia Lian didn't come back until she and the Xing family finished eating. Seeing the smug smile on Jia She's face, Wang Xifeng knew that the two of them didn't suffer.

Wang Xifeng didn't ask any more questions, she was lazy to pay attention to these things now, and only thought about taking good care of her body and living a happy life.

The ten-day period passed by in a flash. On this day, the eldest and second householders of the Jia family gathered in Rongqing Hall.

Jia Shi's face, Wang's family's, and Jia Zheng's expressions were not good-looking, and even Jia Zhu and Li Wan's husband and wife were also uneasy.Wang Xifeng just pretended not to see it. According to the law of inheritance, most of the things here belonged to their eldest family. In other words, they belonged to her son and daughter, so why should they be given to these white-eyed wolves.

Jia Zheng took out a small box and handed it to Jia She: "Brother, this is the shortfall that Wang made up for. Take a look."

Jia Amnesty opened it and took a look. It was full of thick banknotes. He didn't understand this, so he handed it to Jia Lian: "Er Lian, you are right, my brother will settle the accounts clearly, be careful about it, if you make mistakes in the future, you can be careful." No one will be able to come to confess.”

Jia Lian showed a smiling face: "Master, don't worry, my son will naturally be cautious. Besides, we are all of the same family, how could the second master and second wife play tricks here, and there is still big brother Zhu here. He will go there after the New Year's Eve He's passed the exam, he's the most promising one in our family, he won't care about such yellow and white things."

Jia Zhu's face turned red, of course he cared!That's quite a few 10 taels of silver bills. Adding in the filling of the warehouse some time ago, the total is nearly a million taels, which almost emptied two-thirds of Wang's dowry.

But his place in the Guozijian was robbed of Jia Lian back then, and he could still say that his cousin didn't like studying.But if it is reported that the mother has been greedy for the property of the big house and the public, her reputation will be terrible. Not to mention being a butcher for an official in the future, even if she is an official in the imperial examination next year, she will probably be rejected by others. After all, people who are not filial and fraternal How can people serve the people.

Silently choking on Erfang, Jia Lian began to count the money, he had calculated the amount in the account a long time ago, and now it only needs to be correct in the total amount.After counting back and forth twice, Jia Lian's smile faded, and the amount of the bank note was 8 to [-] taels less than what he had calculated.

Seeing his son's expression, Jia She knew something was wrong, and quickly opened his mouth to ask, "Er Lian, is something wrong?"

"There are more than 3 less forests in the northwest, more than 3 less income from Jinling's sacrifice fields, and more than 1 less shops in Tongzhou." Jia Lian didn't mean to hide anything, and passed the things to Jia Zhu, "Brother Zhu is now a scholar, and he can understand all the rituals, music, archery, and imperial scriptures. Maybe I made a mistake in the calculation, so I have to trouble the elder brother to do the calculation again."

Wang's and Jia Zheng's hands tightened. These places were intentional. Because the accounts were messy, it was difficult to find out even the old accountants that had accumulated over the years. I see it.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the second son and Wang, Jia Shishi knew that they must have done something wrong, and secretly spit in his heart, they were all shallow-skinned.Now that he has decided to pay back the money, he has given all the money, and if he has to make plans for these small profits, whose face will he lose now?

But seeing the embarrassment of her youngest son and eldest grandson, she couldn't bear to let go, so she could only smooth things over: "Lian'er, don't mess around, your elder brother is going to be the number one scholar, so how can you care about these yellow and white things. You have grown up now Now, I can afford things, since you made a mistake, let someone make it up, but it's only tens of thousands of taels of silver, it's not worth anything, and making a fuss is a joke."

Jia Lian grinned when she heard the words: "Since the old lady has spoken, the grandson should obey. There are more than 6000 taels in total, so let's count it as 6000 taels."

Jia Amnesty pouted, and said to Jia Zheng disdainfully, "Second brother, my son is kind-hearted and doesn't care about you, but you are an elder anyway, how can you compete with your child for petty gains? Tsk tsk tsk, it's a waste of your reading." Having read so many sage books, and being an official appointed by the imperial court, what he did was so petty, it has disgraced my Jia family!"

Jia Zheng was hurt by his repeated words, wishing he could spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot, but he still managed to endure it.

I don't have the same knowledge as this kind of dude.

"Mr. Wang, go and order someone to take 8 taels of silver bills to supply Lian'er. You can't do this in the future."

Listening to Jia Zheng's instructions, Jia Lian just felt refreshed. This second uncle is used to acting like a gentleman, but the things that Wang's greedy have given to their second wife, what are they doing? white lotus.

Wang was so distressed that she called Zhou Rui's family back, opened the private box, took out the bank notes, and handed them to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian didn't count the number, so he put it in the box and handed it to Wang Xifeng: "Since it is the property of the public, it should be handed over to you. It is useless to keep the banknote for nothing. You can buy a shop on the land, or change it. The preservation of gold and silver depends only on your arrangement."

Wang Xifeng was sitting on the sidelines watching, only to see Jia She and his son's performance, and suddenly got a box of bank notes, but was stunned for a while.But if you have money, you don't accept bastards, so she accepted the wooden box with a smile, and only made plans later.

Li Wan stood beside Jia Zhu, not saying a word from the beginning to the end, just being a wooden figure.But seeing the actions of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, she still couldn't help but look a few more times, and then looked at Jia Zhu who was secretly jealous beside her, and lowered her head to stop looking around.

"Since this matter has been resolved, no one is allowed to bring it up again in the future. It's best for the family to live in harmony." Seeing that Jia She and his son stopped making trouble, Jia Shi felt relieved and couldn't help but say, "Feng girl I'm newly married to Lian'er, and the housekeeper works hard every day, so I ask your sister-in-law Zhu to help me, so the two of you can discuss things more."

Wang Xifeng didn't care about it, she had settled down all the housework, and now that someone helped her, she was more happy to be at leisure.
