The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

When he returned to Jia's house, Wang Xifeng sent someone to find Jia Lian, and told him so and so.

Naturally, Jia Lian didn't say anything else, and immediately gave this matter to the shadow guards who specialize in collecting news, and ordered them to give the specific situation of the Shundelou family within five days.

This shadow guard was established by Jia Lian at the beginning of his rebirth. Most of the people in it were orphans. Jia Lian saved their lives and gave them enough food and clothing.Later, Mr. Fuzi was invited to teach them various skills. After subduing the old man left by Jia Yuan, the [-]th class of martial arts was also taught. Now more than three years later, they can finally show their skills.

With this group of people, Jia Lian's affairs are much more convenient. He can hear all the turmoil in Beijing and the big and small affairs of the ministers' families, so he doesn't have to worry about being calculated.

Using such a group of people to investigate the situation of an ordinary business is really overkill.

However, the efficiency is also gratifying, but within three days, from the life of the old man of the Lin family to the history of the old man in the mansion, it was clearly placed on Jia Lian's desk.Especially the second wife of the Lin family, who is about to marry Ping'er, has been investigated and found out, even the in-laws in their house have not been left behind. For the group of shadow guards, this is just a matter of passing .

Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian read the information carefully, and found that the Lin family really had nothing to talk about. Although they came from businessmen, they were kind and kind, and they had never done anything to bully customers.On the contrary, when the New Year's Eve was bad, they would still make noodles outside the city gate. The servants and maids in the family were not beaten to death and sold, which shows that the masters of the family are still benevolent.

As for the female family members of the Lin family, although there are some minor problems, they are harmless, they are just fighting for some clothes and the dividends in the shop.It's not like the big family that Wang Xifeng knows, it's bloody and rainy at every turn, attacking the dead and heirs.

With Ping'er's means and net worth, after entering the Lin family, not to mention that he is at ease, but there should be no problem in coping with it freely.

In this way, Lin Qiong from the Lin family can be regarded as a good match.

Before the Lin family sent a matchmaker to the door, Wang Xifeng took some time to meet Lin Qiong's mother and sister-in-law, Ping'er's future mother-in-law and sister-in-law in private.

Lin Qiong's mother's name was Xie Yun, and she was also a legitimate daughter from a sixth-rank official family. Her words and deeds were exactly as Ping'er said, extremely straightforward and kind.Xie's biological mother died early, and her stepmother had been training her a lot since she started her career. Later, for money, her stepmother and father married her to the Lin family, a merchant family, in exchange for a bride price.

Mrs. Xie is not a person who can't figure it out. After this incident, she became cold-hearted towards her mother's family. She would only send some gifts over according to the rules during the New Year's holidays. .

With such a good business, the relationship between husband and wife with the second child of the Lin family is considered good, and they gave birth to two sons in succession. After Lin Qiong turned ten years old, under the nagging of her mother-in-law, she took in two concubines for the second child of the Lin family. room.After the birth of the concubine and the concubine, the age difference between the concubine and the concubine was quite large, which did not affect the status of Xie's mother and son at all. It can be seen from this that it is indeed clear.

Besides, Lin Qiong's sister-in-law, Li Shi, is the eldest daughter of a grain shop in the east of the city. She has been with her parents since she was a child, and she is a good housekeeper.Moreover, she has a bright and generous temperament, never cares about others, and takes good care of her younger siblings. The Xie family liked her because of her good personality, so she proposed to marry her eldest son.

As for the second son who took a fancy to Ping'er, a maid, Mrs. Xie accepted it after struggling for two days.

Without him, Gein's reputation in Beijing, whether it is Jia Lian or Wang Xifeng, is excellent in this life.As Wang Xifeng's chief maidservant, Ping'er, not to mention her talent and appearance, her methods and connections are not to be underestimated.

Moreover, the Rongguo Mansion has a deep foundation, and his eldest son Lin Lang is now working as a small banner in Daying on the outskirts of Beijing, but he is working under the elder brother of Jia Jialian's second grandmother.If it is for the sake of Ping'er and the Wang family, Lin Lang can get promoted by his superiors one or two times, and he will not worry about not having a bright future in the future.

And I would rather marry a maid from a big family than a daughter from a small family.

Mrs. Xie could see clearly that her youngest son had a talent for reading, but he was a bit naive and simple. Even if he stepped into the officialdom in the future, it would be difficult to deal with those interpersonal relationships.And Ping'er can firmly occupy the No.1 position next to Wang Xifeng in big families like Wang's and Jia's. After she becomes an adult, she can not only show her body, but also let Wang Xifeng worry about her marriage, which shows her scheming skills .

Only such a daughter-in-law can support her son and go further and more steadily.

Based on various considerations, Mrs. Xie is not only very satisfied with Ping'er, the prospective daughter-in-law, but also satisfied with eight points.When Lin Qiong received the news that Second Mistress Lian of Rongguo Mansion wanted to see her, the remaining two points of grievance about identity disappeared.

After all, Ping'er has been out of the mansion for almost two months, but the former master still misses her, and specially asked him to meet him, which shows the importance he attaches to Ping'er.Of course Mrs. Xie knew that Wang Xifeng met her and Mrs. Li this time because she wanted to beat them up, and she should not rely on her status to bully Ping'er in the future, so what she said inside and outside was extremely appropriate.

As for Mrs. Li, she was even more ingratiating to Wang Xifeng, even with Ping'er.Because her husband Lin Lang spent a lot of money, he entered the big camp in the suburbs of Beijing, and after a long time in the camp, he became a small banner, and he had a dozen soldiers at his disposal.

But as soon as the news of Lin Qiong and Heping's marriage talks came out, Lin Lang raised the general flag!The number of people under him has also changed from ten to more than 50. If the next step is to be promoted, it will be from the sixth rank to a hundred households, which can be regarded as a serious official.

This is all for the sake of someone's face, Li Shi knows it well, so to Ping'er, the future sibling, although her attitude is not flattering, she still has a smile on her face and a pleasant face, as if she is a golden doll to enshrine.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng was somewhat satisfied. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are both clear, and Ping'er's character is also worth mentioning. In the future, the family will be harmonious and life will be smooth.

Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng found an excuse to spend Ping'er, and said softly to Xie's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law: "No wonder when I was talking to Ping'er, she told me that Mrs. Lin and grandma were both He is an extremely kind and courteous person, and he really lived up to his reputation when he saw him today."

"My family, Ping'er, grew up with me. For more than ten years, we have eaten, lived, and played together. Although we have assumed the name of a master and servant, we actually love sisters. She is going to get married, and my heart is full of love." It's reluctance, but the family is really good, I just hope that their husband and wife can live in harmony in the future."

Hearing what Wang Xifeng said, Mrs. Xie also hurriedly replied with a smile: "Second Mistress, rest assured, there is no such thing as a daughter-in-law in our family. Qiong'er is now in her early twenties, and when she gets married, Let the two of them live by themselves, I am usually lazy, just waiting for someone to take care of him after he gets married, so that I can free up my hands to have fun."

The Li family next to him also echoed: "Second brother is pure and kind-hearted, Miss Ping is rare and generous, and this marriage is what he begged for thousands of times. In the future, the young couple will definitely be reconciled."

After hearing the assurances of these two people, Wang Xifeng was a little more satisfied, and immediately agreed to the marriage.

For the sake of Ping'er's good face, and also to have someone to support her after marriage, Wang Xifeng decided to find Ping'er a natal family.Coincidentally, when he was in Jia's house, Ping'er became friends with Mrs. Lu, and learned a lot of medicine from Mrs. Lu, and the relationship between the two has always been close.

Mrs. Lu is now in her thirties, and because of what happened in her early years, she never had any plans to marry and have children.Although people don't have to worry about retirement now, people who have no long-term concerns will have near-term worries. Mrs. Lu is not a person who has nothing to do, and she has long wanted to find a goddaughter for the future.

Therefore, after Wang Xifeng brought up a conversation with her, Mrs. Lu understood what she meant, and this fell into her favor.Moreover, Ping'er's character and ability are indeed excellent, and now that he recognizes her as his goddaughter, he will definitely not be kicked away in the future, and he will have hope for retirement.

Ping'er has nothing to disagree with. She naturally knows the importance of her natal family. Now that she and Lin Qiong have a good relationship, the Lin family also asks for her, so they naturally support her in every possible way.

But after a long time, the feelings will dissipate, and who knows what will happen to the Wang family in the future, and what will happen to the Lin family?

After she got married, she was far away from Wang Xifeng. As time went on, would Wang Xifeng value herself so much anymore?

Mrs. Lu's medical skills and character are all good. In the past, Ping'er also received a lot of teaching from her, which meant that she was both a teacher and a friend. Now that she has recognized her god-in-law, the relationship has become a little closer.

Moreover, Ping'er is not worried about the old-age care that Mrs. Lu is worried about. Firstly, she doesn't need to wait on her personally, and secondly, Mrs. Lu has a lot of money in her private house, so it is enough to hire a few servants.When Mrs. Lu couldn't hold herself back, what Ping'er needed to do was just to visit her every now and then, so as not to let her servants insult her.

Therefore, before Ping'er got married, Wang Xifeng first organized the ceremony for her to recognize her as a relative.

Mrs. Lu prepared a full set of things, and Wang Xifeng personally arranged it. Half of the Jia family came to join in the fun, and Grandma Liu's family was also very lively.

Knowing that Ping'er is now released, and there are already promising families, even Jia Shishi, Mrs. Xing and Youshi from the East Mansion have fun.Although no one came in person, there were many congratulatory gifts, all of which were rare head jewellery, which would not lose their value in the dowry, plus the congratulatory gifts from all over the Jia family, they were called Ping'er and Lu Niangzi's mother and son. The two made a small fortune.

Lady Lu's food and clothing are all provided by Jia's family now, and they are all of the best quality, and since she doesn't need them, she no longer wants to sell them to Ping'er, so she gave them to Ping'er as a dowry .In addition, Mrs. Lu also wanted to buy a dowry for Ping'er, but it was Ping'er who took Wang Xifeng's dowry list and secretly showed it to her, which gave up her idea.

Also because of this generous dowry, Mrs. Lu's impression of Wang Xifeng was three points better, and she told Ping'er: "Good boy, since grandma values ​​you, then I won't interfere much. The things she chose Not to mention that everything is good, and most of them are internally made official items. According to the status of our wives, there is no place to buy them if we have money. It can be seen that it is to save face for you. We need to remember With the kindness of grandma."

"Since we have this fate, you still call me mom now, but I can't do nothing." Lady Lu took out a purse from her bosom, opened it and handed it to Ping'er, "here There are 1000 taels of silver, although it is not much, but it is for the sake of my mother, so I will make you some money at the bottom of the box. For a woman's family, only when she has money in her hand can she be confident."

Although Mrs. Lu said that she has some wealth, she earned it herself. How could Ping'er want her private money, so she immediately refused: "Mom, keep it for yourself. I have money. When I came out of the house, grandma I was allowed to take my things away, plus what my grandma gave me now, it is enough for my needs. If there are more, it will inevitably slap the faces of other people in the house, and it seems that I am a servant girl. "

Mrs. Lu refused to take it back. Since she took it out, she wanted to give it sincerely: "Grandma gave it for her heart, but I gave it for my heart. How can anyone dislike a box with a lot of money? As for If you are flamboyant but not flamboyant, you don’t have to take it to heart, as long as you can stand on your own, you don’t have to take the harsh words of others to heart.”

Ping'er couldn't refuse again and again, so he had to accept the 1000 taels of silver, but he made up his mind that in the future, he would not only be filial to Mrs. Lu as his own mother, but also try his best to not be ashamed of her current intentions.

There is no need for Wang Xifeng to worry about the following things. Mrs. Lu lived in the house where Ping'er was dowry, and discussed with Grandma Liu.

Because Lin Qiong is already twenty-one this year, and Ping'er is about to reach her full age, the two of them are not too young now, so the wedding date is also close, just in March of the new year.At that time, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, the weather has turned warm, and it is a good time to get married.

Since then, Ping'er seldom went out and only embroidered wedding dresses at home.

Wang Xifeng also gave Mrs. Lu half a year's leave, and allowed her to handle the marriage for Ping'er outside the mansion.Although Datou's dowry has been prepared to a large extent, the rest of the fashionable items such as rouge and gouache must be prepared before the wedding.

However, Ping'er's marriage has not yet come, but Jia Rong's marriage in Dongfu has been put on the agenda.

You Shi is Jia Rong's stepmother. Jia Jing spends all day cultivating immortals in the gymnasium. As for Jia Zhen, she is busy drinking and drinking. Since she sent her son to the imperial guards, she never asks questions. Therefore, Jia Rong follows her every day. Jia Lian's.

Now that he is 16 years old, it should be the age to talk about marriage, but neither Jia Zhen nor Youshi have the slightest intention of caring.Jia Rong watched Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng singing in harmony every day, and the companions in the imperial guards also started to talk about marrying wives and having children. He was the only bachelor, and he was inevitably a little depressed.

Seeing that he was often sad these days, Jia Lian thought that someone was bullying him in the Guards, so she asked him a few times before she realized that she wanted to start a family.

Thinking of Qin Keqing, Jia Rong's wife of unknown origin in the previous life, Jia Lian felt a severe toothache.Without him, according to the information he collected in this life, Qin Keqing is probably the illegitimate daughter of the abolished prince first.

Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that in the previous life, Qin Keqing, the adopted daughter of a fifth-rank official, lived a more delicate life than Wang Xifeng, the young lady of the Duke's family.It's no wonder that Jia Rong, the only son of the Duke's family, married such a small woman from a small family, all because of her noble status.

Thinking about the cause of Qin Keqing's death in the previous life, Jia Lian felt that Dongfu was wronged.

After all, she was a daughter of the clan at any rate, but she was forced to death by Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's father and son together, and her death was very disgraceful. Now that the truth is known, how can she tolerate the existence of such a rebellious courtier.Jia Zhen's family is also confused, since they married Qin Keqing because of her identity, why can't they treat her well.

Jia Lian shook his head and sighed for a while, that's all, anyway, in this life, he will not allow the same thing to happen again.

But finding a wife for Jia Rong, neither he nor Wang Xifeng, the aunt in the next room, is not suitable to intervene.Therefore, Jia Lian took some time to visit Jia Zhen, the drunk, and asked him what his plans were.

Only then did Jia Zhen realize that her son had already reached the age of marrying a wife, but unfortunately he was in charge of affairs all the year round, so naturally it was not clear which lady in Beijing was good or not.If it is to be handled by Youshi, Youshi's status is indeed not high, and the social circle in Beijing is not big. Jia Rong's wife will be the clan wife of the Jia family in the future, so it is naturally not something ordinary people can afford.

So after thinking about it, Jia Zhen prepared a gift, and came to ask Jia Shishi to help him see her: "Old lady, please help my nephew, you know that Youshi's housekeeper is fine, but this Beijing But I don’t know many ladies in the house. Brother Rong is the only male in our house, and now that he’s getting married, he still has to trouble the old lady to worry about him and help him see each other.”

Jia Shishi's energy has been low recently, but she also agreed: "They are all my own children. They say they are troublesome and worrying, but they are just doing their duty as elders. There are many girls of the right age in Beijing, but they don't know What kind of girl does Brother Rong like, and what kind of family background do you have with your nephew and daughter-in-law?"

Jia Zhen said with a smile on her face: "Our family is not a high-ranking family. What about family background? I just want to ask the girl's family to look good. If the family is poor, just help me with more money. , the important thing is that the person is good, as long as he can help Brother Rong stand up the door."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Shishi and the others understood that in order to find a capable and skilled person, one must also have a good appearance.

Jia Shishi fully agreed: "Naturally, someone with a bad appearance and character is not good enough for our brother Rong. Now that I know it, it just happens that the New Year's Day is approaching, and there are many banquets in each family. Girls There are also many people who go out to meet guests, ask your aunt and your daughter-in-law to go out and see more. There is also Lian's daughter-in-law, she is not a few years older than Brother Rong, and she is familiar with those ladies, and can help listen to the voice .”

Jia Zhen was naturally overjoyed when she heard the words, and thanked Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng repeatedly: "In this case, I would like to thank the old lady, Aunt Pardon and Sister Feng. When Brother Rong gets married, not only will I have a generous gift, Let the couple come to the mansion to thank them in person."

Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng hurriedly dodged to avoid it, saying that they are too polite.

Jia Zhen returned home satisfied, and Jia Shishi entrusted this matter to Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng.Mrs. Xing didn't want to worry about it, so she handed over the matter to Wang Xifeng to take care of Sister Gu Sanchun.

Wang Xifeng thought about Qin Keqing's nephew and daughter-in-law in her previous life, and she felt a little tangled in her heart, wondering if she should continue this fate.Just thinking back to Qin Keqing's appearance when he died, the idea of ​​pulling the red line dissipated. Zuo is just a bad fate, and it's better for the two not to disturb each other.

Thinking about something in her heart, when she returned to her room at night, Wang Xifeng's face showed a little unconsciously.

Seeing her like this, Jia Lian asked aloud, "But what kind of trouble did you encounter? Why is there such an expression?"

Wang Xifeng thought that Jia Lian had a lot of capable people and had a lot of information, so it was a good idea to ask him: "Brother Zhen from Dongfu said that Brother Rong is going to get married, so I asked the old lady to help me find out. Two. But you also know, how long has it been since the old lady went to another house for a banquet, and in the end she didn't tell the wife and me, and the wife didn't care about everything, so she put it all on me. "

"It's not so easy to be a media protector, let alone the situation in the East Mansion. In the past, the Qin family, who was not top-notch in appearance and character, was tortured to death by that family. But what else should I find?"

When Jia Lian heard the words, she knew that Jia Zhen actually passed the work to her family. This is really a good father, and she doesn't worry about everything.

He immediately laughed angrily, shook his head and scolded: "It really is a mud that the whole family can't support the wall. All day long, the family only knows to hug the little wife, drink and have fun, and the only serious son doesn't care, but we people What kind of heart! If you want me to say, don’t bother with that effort, just let them fend for themselves.”

"I used to help Brother Rong find a job because I belonged to the Jia family, but now it's good, we even have to rely on us to marry a wife! What do you do after you marry me? If you were killed by their family, what else do you need to find!"

Wang Xifeng was still listening attentively at first, but when he heard the words "royal blood", he couldn't help but startled.If she didn't misunderstand, this so-called "royal bloodline" refers to Qin Keqing?

Seeing her puzzled face, Jia Lian suddenly realized that he had never mentioned Qin Keqing's hidden identity.

Thinking that it is inevitable that he will deal with each other in this life, Jia Lian waved back the servants and explained in a low voice: "The Qin family that Brother Rong married in his previous life is very likely to be the blood left by the abolished prince. I am ninety percent sure now. .”

Wang Xifeng was stunned, the prince's blood was abolished!How dare Jia Zhen and Jia Rong last life!

No wonder in the last life, the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion was just exiled, but all the men in the Ningguo Mansion had their heads beheaded, so that's how it is!
