The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

"Why did the old lady give you a day off today? Didn't come to your class, you came here to look for me?" Seeing that it was Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Xu looked at the room and waited for the peanuts and melon seeds that the wife gave her. He took out snacks and invited her to eat, "Since you are here, please try it too. It's not a good thing, so it's just a puff." He was busy bringing a pot of water from the tea room to make tea.

Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "Don't be complacent when you are old, who doesn't know that after your wife changed the way of purchasing, you are as smart as a monkey, buying some gadgets from outside to please those gimmicks and girls, and you will never make money I can't even hold it in my hands."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xu is proud of herself. The purchases of each house were originally assigned by outsiders. They can buy whatever they want. My wife didn't know it before, but later I saw that what they bought was often not what they wanted, and the maids in the house had to pay for it. When I went outside to buy, I simply set up a shopping hall at the second door of the old lady. Every seven days, I chose what I liked and bought it now. Everyone’s rouge, gouache, hair washing and laundry equipment were paid directly, and became everyone’s favorite. Own monthly silver.

At that time, her youngest son was willing and willing to pay two taels of silver every month to ask his wife to give him a stall. Since he went outside to buy gadgets, needles and threads, and hair oil powder boxes, he came back to sell them. They can be saved, and they can earn some silver taels every time.

"It's all the benevolence of the old lady, thanks to the blessing of the master." Mrs. Xu smiled so much that her teeth could be seen. Mrs. Wu was really envious. Is there a vacancy?"

As soon as she heard her say this, Mrs. Xu knew that she was here to inquire about the news. She knew about it, "I definitely don't have it this month, and the money has been handed over. But..." She beckoned, and Mrs. Wu hurried over .Mrs. Xu covered her hands with her hands, and said quietly, "Someone who was deceived by lard secretly let Dao Po come in, saying that there is a ghost in the house, and he asked the old lady to exorcise the ghost. The wife is angry."

"Really!" Mrs. Wu was very pleasantly surprised. When the wife did things, she said one thing and said another.If you do things well, you will be rewarded with benefits.She is merciful to anyone who breaks the rules, and she will not beat you, and she will not throw people out regardless of decency. to be punished.It can be fined at the slightest, but at the most serious it will be burdened with errands.

This way of handling, the old lady all praised, and only said that whoever dares to be lazy, as long as you are not afraid of slapping everyone in the family, just commit the crime.

Now a tree and a pond in the mansion have been taken over by someone. Except for the portion that should be provided to the master and the family to raise birds, the rest of each place will only be paid some welfare money according to the size, and will be given to the wives who did not take it. Sweet mouth, the rest is yours.

Mrs. Xu pursed her lips and smiled, "That's right, I don't know which idiot, who doesn't know what crooked ghosts and evil spirits my wife is most annoyed about, except for Zhang Shenxian of Qingxu Temple, who only worships Avalokitesvara on weekdays and copies the Diamond Sutra and Prajna Heart Sutra Besides, Master Jing of the Eastern Mansion is the most faithful, and he comes every month to preach to the old ladies, if there is something wrong, can he not know?"

"What the hell, don't you always want to wipe money from the master in the same ease as before. Right now, no matter which girl next to the master is not vigilant, let alone a missing cup or saucer, even if there is a missing sachet on the clothes Be clear. It will be impossible to get away with the excuse of buying this or that as soon as the money is gone as before.” Mrs. Wu understands that in the past, the family was arrogant, and those who had the face refused to obey the constraints, and had no face Those who are not allowed to make progress, now my wife makes sense in everything, and all the maids around me can write and count, and Grandma Zhu has a penny in lower script as an arm. With the help of the eldest wife, who can get by?It is absolutely impossible to lie down and have fun!

When she got the news, she thought that those who made a mistake must have a vacancy. As long as there is a vacancy, they will be assigned seniority according to their seniority, and then let Caifeng ask, maybe they can get another errand in her family, and more people will save money You can buy your own real estate sooner.

"Sister Wu, is your family short of income? Let me see, your youngest son might as well see if he can get into the kitchen. My wife has already asked Mr. Zhu to choose the address, and he is building a big restaurant. Just to be a second child , you can also get a reward." Mrs. Xu said.

Mrs. Wu was about to say something, when she heard shouts from outside, "Madam is down!"

Both of them stood up in a hurry, and swept the melon rinds and fruit crumbs into the box. Mrs. Wu stood still, and Mrs. Xu peeked through the window, "Madam has entered the room, old sister, go back, we will come back when you are free." say."

"That's it, I'm leaving." Not daring to disturb Mrs. Xu for fear of having an errand, Mrs. Wu hurried back.

As soon as Wang Guizhi entered the house, he was going to take off the fur shawl outside, "I said it won't be cold when I walk, so you have to wrap it so thickly for me."

"That's the truth."

Unexpectedly, Wang Guizhi turned his head to look, and said, yes, Jia Zheng is back.She pursed her lower lip slightly, "Hi, master." With a big belly, she just asked.

"Come here and hold the heater crookedly, the person who is about to give birth is still so naughty, running around every day."

Jia Zheng frowned, seeing that her belly was getting bigger and bigger, he couldn't help worrying.There was an old nanny by Madam's side who was the best at taking care of her. She took care of Zhu'er and Yuanchun. Unfortunately, she was sick and moved out the year before last. Later, she went to seek medical advice.This baby now looks bigger than the previous two times.

Ask the girls, they said that he was not at home in the first three months, and he couldn't eat much. Later, his appetite gradually came up when his stomach got bigger. fleshy.

Seeing that his face was covered with frost, Wang Guizhi obediently sat down. He was not angry with her, and even helped her lift her legs to the couch, "Master, you seem unhappy?"

Jia Zheng didn't want to tell his wife his worries, lest she would think about things even more while she was pregnant, "There are things outside."

Did he get killed by his boss, or was he blamed again?

Last year, he led Jia Zhen back to his hometown in Jinling to buy a sacrifice field. Jia Zhen secretly brought back a little nun. She originally rented a house secretly and set it up outside. Jia Zhen was afraid that Jia Jing would beat him, so she said it was given to him by her uncle, so she dared not take it away.When they found out about this, Jia Zheng was so angry that his eyes were as big as copper bells. It was a winter day and he drank several bowls of herbal tea.

If Zhu'er hadn't told him that this was not the case, she wouldn't have known that Jia Zheng was in vain for having fun with his nephew.

It turned out that Jia Zhen was locked in the house. She was a young and strong man, and she loved sex like a ghost. She was so anxious that she wanted to touch a young boy with fair skin to vent her anger. There are many poor girls who have been abducted and sold. Their parents and relatives don't know that they have been ruined, so they asked Wan'er to buy one and bring it back to Jia Zhen, and then it stopped.

So it's not wrong to say that it was given by Jia Zheng, no wonder he only got angry with himself.

"Don't worry about the outside affairs when you get home. Anyway, if the sky falls, there are still tall ones, right?" Wang Guizhi reassured casually. Although Jia Zheng was not good, he treated her well and said something nice. I still want it.

Jia Zheng frowned even more. Who can take care of this matter? She has it in her stomach, so who can help?She said earlier that she wanted to call a family doctor, but she has already inquired and checked a couple of them, or she might as well invite them all to the house first, and it would be better if more people come to give advice at that time.After thinking about it, he stood up, "I'll go out for a while."

ah?It seemed that something was really going on, Wang Guizhi felt a little nervous, "What's the matter? The sky looks cloudy, I'm afraid it's going to snow." If there's something really going on, she still wants to know, otherwise the husband and wife are the same body, and if they are implicated, it will be too late. Not for playing.

"I'll tell you when I get back." Jia Zheng let the girl put on the bamboo hat and gown, "You take care of it carefully."

"Yes."

Wang Guizhi didn't move much. Seeing that they poured her another bowl of bird's nest, he said with a bitter face, "I don't like to drink this." If you eat it once, you will get tired of eating it for six months.

"Eat quickly, madam. If you don't drink, the old ladies and masters will blame us." Caixia brought another box, "You used this, you can eat whatever you want." She smiled sweetly He said, "Ms. Qin led a dozen daughters to make this. In your Fuyi Building, it sells five taels of silver a box."

"I don't want to eat either..." Seeing them staring at them like this, Wang Guizhi thought to himself that he couldn't eat it if he wanted to eat it before, so he closed his eyes and swallowed it in one breath.In my previous life, I ate tremella and lotus seed soup, and told myself that it was similar to bird’s nest. Now that there is really bird’s nest, I still think about tremella.

Speaking of white fungus, she thought of her own mushrooms. It was cold and there were no fresh dishes. "Have any mushrooms been delivered, let them make a mixed mushroom stew."

Caifeng flipped through the list delivered today, "Yes, I'll let someone make it." Since it was a ready-made item sent by his wife Zhuangzi, there was no need to pay extra.

"This thing is selling very well right now. I heard from my brother that once it was cut off and brought over with a quilt, it was sold out when it was put on the cabinet." Caiying giggled and rubbed Wang Guizhi's legs, "But If anyone is missing, it will not be missing your wife."

Wang Guizhi knew that this kind of thing was her most proud income so far.

"There are very few vegetables in winter, and some fresh leaves from the greenhouse are sent to the palace or the prince's house as soon as they come out. Zhang comprador complained for several days, saying that he begged his grandpa to tell his grandma, and bought them with great difficulty." When I come back, I have been honoring the old lady. Fortunately, our family has dried a lot of sauerkraut, kimchi and sun-dried vegetables this summer.” Caiyun wrote the account with a pen on the side, “Madam, why don’t we also set up a greenhouse to grow some Green vegetables, so that the worthless vegetable leaves in summer will be extremely expensive in winter."

"All right, you write this down, tell Pearl, and let him do it."

Wang Guizhi wanted to turn around for a while, but felt a dull pain in her stomach. She was pregnant with a child before, and knew that the child would turn around when the due date was approaching. After a while, the pain started to worsen, and she moaned suddenly, "Hurry up, call someone, I'm afraid I'm about to give birth."

The author has something to say: I am a stupid author. My eyes hurt a little yesterday, so I didn’t add any updates. I put the words in the manuscript box after typing, but there was a problem with setting the time. Accident, plus more compensation.

From now on, it will still be at 13:00 every day~~~ I love you~~~

ps: The family is arrogant, those with face will not obey the constraints, and those without face will not be able to make progress—————————— This sentence is the original words of Sister Feng in the original book when she governed Ningguo Mansion.
