The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

Regardless of what Wang and Jia Zheng did behind the scenes, Wang Xifeng took over the stewardship smoothly. These things were what she was used to doing in her previous life, and now she handles them with ease.

She lives a very regular life now, after getting up early every day, she first goes to pay her respects to Mrs. Xing, then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law go to the Rongqing Hall hand in hand to serve Jia Shishi's early morning meal, and then go back to their houses.After breakfast, it's time to deal with the Jia family's trivial matters. There are old rules to follow, and she can follow the same pattern. Now that she is newly married, it's not time for her to reform and get rid of the old ones.

During the period, Wang ordered her confidantes to trip Wang Xifeng and take away her housekeeping rights, but Wang Xifeng saw through them one by one, and instead dismissed many of the stewards.They were all in important positions such as warehouse, kitchen, carriage house, porter, etc., and then quickly changed the position of the big house and his confidant, without giving others a chance to react.

As for the dismissed stewards, those who were corrupt and dereliction of duty, relying on the influence of the Jia family to ignore human lives outside, and those who fished the common people, all those who were caught by Jia Lian were punished and sent directly to the officials.No matter who comes to intercede, Jia Lian doesn't care about it, and he is stern and selfless.

But in just a few days, half of the stewards in the mansion changed, the couple had a good time playing, Jia Shishi and the second room were impatient.

Especially Jia Shishi, who thought he was just borrowing Jia Lian's hands to beat the second room, but who would have thought that now the second room is about to be beaten to death!

Jia Shishi doted on Jia Zheng since he was a child, and even tolerated Wang Shi a lot. Now that Wang Shishi gave birth to Jia Baoyu, a golden grandson, Jia Shishi's tolerance for her is even higher.

And even if you don't look at Jia Zheng's face, just look at the three grandchildren, Jia Shishi can't let Wang's collapse, otherwise what will Sister Yuan do in the palace, and Jia Zhu and Baoyu have to do it. Relying on Wang's protection.

After paying his respects that day, Jia Shishi left Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng behind, and ordered someone to invite Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian over.

When people came over, Jia Shishi was half leaning on the imperial concubine's couch, frowning.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng was a little worried, and couldn't help but said: "Old Ancestor, just tell me what you have to order, and I promise to take care of it for you. If I can't, there are Master and Second Master. Don't be bored in your heart, instead Let us juniors panic."

Even though Jia Shishi was partial to the second wife, after hearing Wang Xifeng's words, she couldn't help but ironed in her heart, patted her hand and said: "I know you are a filial person, but when you are old, you will inevitably think too much, it doesn't hinder anything Son."

Then he asked again: "Is it okay for you to be the housekeeper for the past few days? If there is any trouble from the blind maid, just tell me, or go and talk to your wife. I am the last one for the men and women in our family. You know, with a heart of wealth and honor, and eyes of decency, it's not easy to subdue."

Wang Xifeng smiled brightly, and the room was filled with brilliance: "Don't worry, old ancestor. Although I am incompetent, I have experienced it at home before, and I have the help of my second master and wife. I will not let them bully me again. Those who were in charge, relying on the fact that they had served several masters in our mansion, wanted to make trouble with me, but I dismissed them, which shocked a group of people."

"All the masters in our mansion are kind-hearted and soft-hearted, and they are so arrogant. I heard that they even robbed many people's fields in the name of our family, forcing them to almost ruin their families. I It sounds scary, our ancestors laid this foundation, we all cherish the blessings, and during festivals, we have to give miso noodles, and during famines, they build tents and put medicines, which makes them tarnish our family's reputation."

When Wang Xifeng made a call, it was difficult for Jia Shishi to pick it up. Could it be that she wanted to say that she was worried about these servants who did a lot of evil? Wouldn't that mean that she didn't care about blessings and was not kind?

In the midst of embarrassment, I heard Zhuzhu talking back and forth: "Old lady, the Eldest Master and the Second Master Lian left the mansion early, and they are not in the mansion now. The waiters said that they went to the hot spring village outside the city." , reckoning that he will be able to return when he gets the lantern."

"Feng girl, have the two of them gone out?"

Jia Shishi's face was very ugly, and she felt ashamed, after all, when she ordered the servant girl just now, Xingshi and Wang Xifeng were listening, but neither of them told her about it.

Wang Xifeng shook her head, she really didn't know about this matter: "I went to my wife's room to pay my respects at the last moment, and then followed my wife to my ancestor's place. I really didn't know that the master and the second master had gone out. This Lian Second, I serve the master to go to the hot spring village to play tricks, but forget about us girls, and I will ask him to apologize to you when I come back."

When Jia Shishi heard the words, his expression turned pale, but he was still not very good-looking. He waved his hand: "Forget it, I'm tired too. You all have something to do, so you can go. You don't have to come over for lunch. When the boss and Lian'er come back, call They came to see me."

Xing Shi and Wang Xifeng hurriedly responded, and after a few gossips, they withdrew.

After leaving Rongqing Hall, Wang Xifeng stood in the small garden with a dazed expression.

Wang Xifeng originally thought that Jia Shishi treated her well, but from the past few days, it seems that she is only mediocre.If he is obedient and doesn't get in the way, then he is the majestic second grandmother of the Jia family, the proud person in the old lady's mouth; It's just a big servant girl who is a housekeeper.

There was too little warmth in the previous life, so it seemed that this kind of vain favor was extremely rare.

Wang Xifeng took a deep breath, and took the maid to the flower hall to be a director. She has always been cold-hearted, no matter whether it is true or false, she just wants to live her own life.

Perhaps the killing of chickens and monkeys in the past few days has had an effect, and now the nuns in charge of the house are more sensitive than before, and those trivial matters are no longer brought up, and they are dealt with lightly. Well, I saved Wang Xifeng a lot of effort.

When today's work was over, everyone Lai came forward with a smile on his face: "Second Grandma, there is still more than a month left for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it will be here. At this time in previous years, it is time to prepare gifts for everyone, especially for some old relatives. It is far away, and if there is a slight delay on the road, it will take a month to deliver, how do you think we will arrange this year?"

Wang Xifeng raised her eyes. She has been so busy these days that she really forgot about the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Send it to the aunt of the Lin family in Gusu. This year, it will be three points thicker. My aunt just gave birth to a son. I should congratulate her and prepare more toys for the children. My aunt's cousins ​​are young, so I'm afraid they will like it. As for the other families, it's not a big deal, just follow the old rules."

Everyone Lai got the order, so he didn't talk too much, just nodded and said: "I'll go and prepare it now, and I'll ask grandma for instructions after the gift list is ready."

Wang Xifeng nodded slightly, raised the teacup and said: "If there is nothing else, let's leave. From tomorrow, I will write to the heads of the various villages. This autumn's rent should also be collected, let them Be vigilant, and fool people like in previous years, I will not obey."

The nurses in charge shivered shiveringly, and hurriedly responded in a low voice, but seeing that Wang Xifeng had no other arrangements, they retreated silently.

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Wang Xifeng took the maidservant back to the house, sat on the kang to rest, and said with a smile: "Ping'er, bring me my dowry list, I will pick a few things and follow The boxing ceremony will be sent to Gusu."

Although Ping'er found it strange, she went to the inner room, opened Wang Xifeng's dowry box, and took out a thick dozen of slips.Wang Xifeng is the only daughter of the Wang family's generation, and she has always been raised as a man, and this marriage between the Jia and Wang families is because the Wang family asked the Jia family, so her dowry is somewhat richer than that of the Wang family.

"Grandma, let me find someone to read the list to you."

Wang Xifeng waved her hand. Although she had never read a book in her previous life, the housekeeper could still read a few words for many years.Besides, she knew her dowry very well, and the list was just in case she forgot something as time went by.

"Your second master has been teaching me to read and write for the past few days. Let me see for myself first. By the way, the small kitchen has made osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cake and rock sugar glutinous rice lotus root slices. You ask them to send some to each room. You and An'er go to the old lady and the lady in person."

Ping'er and An'er responded, with Xi'er and Le'er serving beside them.

Wang Xifeng flipped through the list, thinking that Lin Daiyu should be three years old this year, and the elder brother of the Lin family who died young is almost one year old now.There are a lot of gold, silver and jade in her dowry list, but there are not many playthings suitable for children of this age. It is nothing more than a few gold and jade made of nine chains, jigsaw puzzles and the like.

Not picking the right thing, Wang Xifeng threw the list away and rubbed her forehead in distress.

She felt guilty towards Lin Daiyu. In her previous life, Lin Daiyu entered Jia's mansion alone, and she took good care of her.But later, he was blinded by the glory and wealth. He watched the Jia family completely ignoring the Lin family's wealth. It was through her and Jia Lian's hands that he integrated into Jia's family little by little.

Thinking of Lin Daiyu from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the previous life, Wang Xifeng's heart became a little colder. He said that he was a close relative of the family, but he forced his granddaughter and niece to death just to fill the big gap in Jia's family. hole.

There is also Jia Baoyu. In the past, my elder sister was older than my younger sister, and I would go crazy if I didn't see her for a day, but she didn't take any responsibility. She would only hide behind women's dresses, enjoying the glory and wealth, warm jade and fragrance.

Thinking of all the sufferings her young sister Qiao had suffered, but Jia Baoyu, a married man, was released without charge and lived on Xue Baochai's dowry, Wang Xifeng hated so much that his palms were bleeding.

Want to rely on a woman to live a stable life?This life is impossible.
