The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

On the second day, Wang Xifeng got up early in the morning. After washing up, she drank half a cup of bird's nest porridge, and then took someone to Mrs. Xing's place.

Mrs. Xing was combing her hair. Seeing her coming so early, she smiled and said angrily: "Why did you come so early today? It can be seen that you have a very sharp nose, so you are thinking about my food here."

Wang Xifeng took the box from Wang Shanbao's family, and while choosing jewelry for Mrs. Xing, she replied with a smile: "It's because my wife loves me and knows what I like to eat, so I asked the small kitchen to prepare it. My wife took a piece of it." A mother's heart, the daughter-in-law will naturally get it, and if you talk about such delicious food, then reward me with a few dishes, what is it worth, could it be that you are still poor?"

Mrs. Xing laughed loudly when she heard the words, pointed at Wang Xifeng and said: "No wonder people say you are a 'broken householder', now even my wife dares to make fun of it, that's all, I can't say no to you. The small kitchen is newly made today. The small black fish wontons here are not expensive items, but it is rare to eat them with a fresh and original taste, so you can have a bite later to fill your stomach."

Wang Xifeng agreed with a smile, and picked out a pair of golden phoenix hairpins and a pair of gold inlaid purple flower pendants from the dowry for Mrs. Xing to wear.After scrutinizing it for a while, he put on another sapphire flat square, paired with a vermilion double-breasted long jacket and a garnet red pleated skirt, which looked rich and dignified. Like a few years younger.

The maids and women around the side all offered compliments, some said that the wife was energetic today, and some said that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were happy and happy, which made the Xing family laugh from ear to ear.

The two sat opposite each other and ate half a bowl of wonton, cleared their mouths again, and then they went to Rongqing Hall together to pay Jia Shishi a greeting.Now the East Courtyard and Jia's Main Courtyard have not been completely surrounded by a wall and opened a gate as in the previous life. Although they walked a little far, they could still bear it.

It was still early, the two talked while walking, and Wang Xifeng deliberately guided them, and they talked about the care of their children and grandchildren.

I saw Wang Xifeng sighed: "People say to raise children to guard against old age, but today I can't figure it out. Yesterday my mother sent someone to say that my natal brother got into trouble again and injured Dingyuanhou The grandson of the family. The mother who sent the letter said that my father beat my younger brother half to death, and then went to the Hou's mansion to make amends, and was beaten up by others."

"What's the use of raising a son like this who doesn't live up to expectations? It's better to be like Sister Luan in my uncle's family. Not to mention marrying a good family, how respectful and filial to my uncle and aunt is, what good does he get in his daily life?" The food is so stubborn, and the first one is always delivered, who in the capital is not envious?"

Mrs. Xing was silent for a while, and then comforted: "Boys are late to understand. In a few years, they will marry wives and have children, and they will be able to settle down. Now they still need to worry too much about their relatives. As for the Wang family My sister Luan is really good, I don’t go out much on weekdays, and I’ve heard people praise her, saying how many sons she got for raising a daughter.”

Wang Xifeng laughed, nodded in response, and did not mention Wang Ren's matter anymore.

In her previous life, Wang Ren sold Qiaojieer, she hated Wang Ren so much, she didn't care about whether he could stand or not, she didn't even bother to look at him when she died, now she just used him to draw out the care of her children for retirement.

"So my mother used to raise me like a man at home, saying that a girl's family may not be worse than a man's, pointing to me to respect her old man in the future."

Mrs. Xing thought of Mrs. Wang's having both sons and daughters, and felt a little envious: "My wife is a lucky one. Now that she has both sons and daughters, she must be an old lord in the future."

Wang Xifeng nodded with a smile, and then said: "Isn't the wife also blessed? Needless to say, the second master is a lazy person. But I saw Yingchun in Rongqingtang yesterday, oh, little people, you are so good." She is gentle and stable, although she doesn't talk much, but she is very decent in everything, who can believe that she is only three or four years old now? Even the seven or eight-year-old girls of other families are not as good as our second girl."

Mrs. Xing thought about it for a while, and she was a little uncertain about what Wang Xifeng meant, why did she suddenly mention Yingchun.

Now that Wang Xifeng has reached this point, naturally he will not give up halfway, and let the maidservants stand back a little, and he personally supports Mrs. Xing to walk ahead alone: ​​"I am thinking about the interest of our eldest family, it is true that I am a little thinner, now There is only one second master and one second girl. Let’s not talk about the second master, he is a man, he should make contributions outside and earn a future for us girls.”

"But the second girl is now being raised in the old lady's yard. Although her old man loves her grandchildren the most, after all, she has a thousand years. How can she take care of her so well on weekdays. I heard the girls chatting their teeth and saying It's Yingchun's nanny, Zhao Momo, who secretly took her monthly money for jewelry to gamble, and also controls the maids and women in her house, but it's the second girl who lost her jewelry because of her playfulness."

Mrs. Xing's face turned cold, and she said sharply: "Such a woman who has no rules and no rules, why didn't she just slap her whole family out of the mansion, drive her out together with her mother, and not allow them to enter the mansion to serve the masters?" !"

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng knew that although Mrs. Xing usually ignored her, she didn't necessarily care about Yingchun, so the matter would be much easier to handle: "Of course it was a beating, and I have already ordered someone to find her fault. , and when the stolen goods are obtained together, the whole family will be kicked out to vent their anger on the second girl, which is also in the best way."

"It's just about the second sister. It's not because of a maidservant. The younger generation in our mansion counts as one, and they are all taken care of by their own mothers. They look like Aunt Zhao. But what's wrong with the third sister?" Sure, she will try her best to punish the second wife, and she will have to make a big fuss before giving up."

Mrs. Xing's face was a little embarrassed. Didn't it mean that her inaction as a aunt made the servants in the house bully Yingchun.

Wang Xifeng was very good at observing words and demeanor. Seeing this, she hurriedly said: "This is not my wife's business. My wife has always been pure and kind-hearted, and she is the most filial to the old lady. She has always been respectful. The second younger sister is raised in the Rongqing Hall , how could you have thought that the subordinates would deceive the superiors and the subordinates, you are pitiful, you are always inappropriate with the superiors and subordinates, and you have ruined your reputation by letting this screwdriver be a slave in vain."

Mrs. Xing's family knew about her own family affairs, she used to ignore everything except gold and silver belongings, and everything was done properly.However, Wang Xifeng made faces for her in words, and she would not push it out, only to see what Wang Xifeng wanted to do.

Wang Xifeng laid the groundwork for a long time, and only now did she make it clear: "Second sister is a petty person, from every girl's family. In the future, it will be just a dowry from the mansion, and it will be over after sending it out. But who is it going to? It’s a bit particular, Ma’am, please allow me to say something, if you think it makes sense, you can listen to it; if you think it’s inappropriate, it’s just us girls chatting, and no third person will hear it.”

"Theoretically speaking, the second younger sister is the master's daughter, that is, the dignified eldest girl of the Rongguo Mansion. Her status is much higher than that of elder sister Yuanchun. Now the eldest sister can enter the palace gate and fight for the monstrous wealth. , our second daughter..."

Mrs. Xing's eyes lit up. She had never thought about this before. Even if she didn't enter the palace, she would choose someone of the same family status to marry in. Just like Jia Min, the gift of filial piety during the festivals is a lot of money.

She is Yingchun's aunt, and all these things should have been brought under her own name, but she was short-sighted in the past.

Seeing her expression, Wang Xifeng knew that the matter was half done: "It's just that the status of the second younger sister is indeed a concubine. If there is someone who pays too much attention to the difference between concubine and concubine, it will inevitably be delayed. From my point of view, Madam, you It's better to record the second younger sister under her name, she is a girl in the family, and is taken care of by the mansion every day, just ask a few more questions when you think about it, there will be more good ones in the future."

Mrs. Xing's heart was agitated. At her age, she had long given up the idea of ​​having children.Yingchun is really well-behaved and lovely. What's rare is that she is still young. If she handles it properly, she will pay more attention to her daily life, and she can really get a daughter for nothing.

It's just that Mrs. Xing has always been afraid of the power of Jia Shishi and Jia She, she dare not let her go to fight with these two people.

Wang Xifeng saw that her heart was moved by eight points, so she couldn't help but push her back: "If the wife thinks it is feasible, the second master will naturally explain to the master. As for the old lady, she has always sympathized with her granddaughter. Leave it to me to take care of your good daughters who are my wife's direct relatives."

Mrs. Xing lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I will entrust it to you. I don't have a son or a daughter under my knees. If I can really win Yingchun girl, it can relieve my deep thoughts."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and smiled, which was a preliminary consensus.

After talking about this journey, Rongqing Hall was already in front of them, the two of them kept silent and went to greet Jia Shishi.
