Enter Jia Amnesty from the Red Chamber

Chapter 36 The Imposing Wife

Qin Keqing is considered to have a big face in both the East Mansion and the West Mansion. For some reason, the old lady usually treats her daughter-in-law better than Feng girl, so naturally others give her more face.

In addition, she has a delicate mouth and can talk, and the housekeeper and director are not bad, so it's not surprising that she likes it.

Wang Xifeng asked Ping'er to wait in the small garden for a long time, and when he received someone, he would send it directly to the eldest wife.Now she looks at it coldly, the master seems to be more tolerant towards the eldest wife, maybe it is a bit of a thin face, she is a wife who helps the eldest wife to save face, wouldn't the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law be more harmonious?

This result naturally caused Youshi and his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be stunned as soon as they stepped into the courtyard.

It's not that they don't know that Mrs. Xing has moved to the yard of the former second wife, but after all, they haven't seen it with their own eyes, so it's inevitable that they can't get used to it for a while.You must know that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have often come to this yard in the past.

What's even more exaggerated is that the Xing family now completely dominates the entire courtyard alone. There are no sons, family, or concubines nearby. They occupy a small courtyard quietly and can live as they want, which is better than their Dongfu. Still comfortable.

It is true that there are few masters in their Eastern Mansion, but they can’t stand the fact that there are too many concubines. Jia Zhen and Jia Rong are not fun. There are countless girls in the house they have touched, and there are piles of aunts. How can they not give them? Make room to live?It's really impossible to get a whole yard for yourself like this.

Careful Qin Keqing observed the courtyard carefully, and it seems that the details are more refined than before. Without some obstructive furniture, it looks much more spacious. Without those colorful and rich decorations, the things replaced are not only expensive, but also It is also better than the rare suitable four characters.

From the flowers, plants and fish ponds you see when you enter the door, to the elegant fragrance of books in the house, all of them reveal the word "connotation".These two characters are also quite rare. If you are not a noble family, you can't cultivate it at all. Even if it is as honorable as the Rongguo Mansion, no matter how rich you are, it is useless.

Different from others, Qin Keqing suddenly recalled the past events of the old master in the palace, his thoughts turned slightly, and a trace of complexity inevitably flashed in his eyes.

You Shi didn't think as much as she did, only comparing the original one with the current one, even she felt that the second wife was ignorant, making people laugh just like a nouveau riche, not to mention others.The maids and women who came with them all stopped there in shock, which made Xing's servants watch a lot of excitement.

It's fine if it's someone else, and Youshi won't think there's anything wrong with it, but the one who lives here now is the Xing family who came from a small family, who is as hopeless as her and has no children. I couldn't get used to it, and the smile on my face dropped a little.

It turned out that this person was obviously worse than her and more shameless than her, but within a few months, the change was so great and he became so good that Youshi couldn't help but panic with jealousy. Thinking about the situation in her yard Concubine's room, it is inevitable that there will be some grievances.

Qin Keqing turned her head and saw the corners of her mouth tightened slightly, she quickly smiled and flirted with Ping'er, "How did you become so good all of a sudden, but what kind of skilled craftsman did you hire? Tell me later, so that I can let our Dongfu get involved." Zhanguang. Look at this grandeur, your eldest wife lives here, do you feel trembling? Hehe~ If I lived here, I’m afraid I wouldn’t dare to touch it.”

As soon as Ping'er was told by her, he remembered how his wife was fidgeting a while ago, and said secretly, "Grandma Qin, this is not made by a skilled craftsman. If it is just a craftsman's method, you don't have to cherish it so much. Since The second wife gave up here, our elder has been doing a lot of cleaning up, and he has to take out a few of the dusty things in his warehouse from time to time, but our wife is very happy."

"Yo, so to speak, this is still due to the pardon of the great master!" Qin Keqing asked knowingly and put on a shocked look, "Then it's embarrassing, our master came to beg in person, and the pardon of the great master doesn't know whether he is willing to help That's my job. Don't you think so, ma'am?"

After being interrupted by Qin Keqing, You Shi also calmed down, and took over the conversation with a smile, "No, not everyone can invite Master Pardon, and you must ask Master to give some good treasures to ask for a favor." Please, maybe it will work. Pinger, is your grandma here too?"

"Of course, I heard that you two are coming. I prepared the leaf cards early in the morning. Even the fresh deer legs have been packed by outsiders. Since it's not too hot today, I'd like to eat more to replenish my body. Ma'am, Grandma, the wife and grandma of Dongfu are here." Ping'er led the two into the flower hall from the main hall, and Wang Xifeng's voice sounded afterward.

"Hey, here we come, come in quickly, our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are anxiously waiting, and this time there are just two of us in one family, so don't let any of you miss the table."

Wang Xifeng had to stand up in a hurry, and was in a hurry to get the person to settle down. The eldest wife had already sat at the poker table, and she had knocked a lot of melon seeds by her side. I'm afraid it was a lie to say that she was anxiously waiting.

"It's rare to come here and play a leaf card and still not go to the table? It's just right, let us two mother-in-law and your two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, let's see who wins more." You Shi smiled and stretched out his hands to rub the cards. The eldest wife was sitting opposite her. At first glance, it is almost impossible to recognize anyone.

The goose-yellow brocade with cranes and flowers all over her body is embroidered in fashionable colors, and the whole set of red gold pearls on her head and face is not counted, and several gold steps have to be hung on her. The two pairs of pure gold bracelets in her hands stand tall Beside Wang Xifeng, she doesn't lose her color at all.These two don't look like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it would be more appropriate to say they are sisters.

This dress suits the eldest wife's age, but it is far from her grandmother's generation. She looks old and pale, but she has not seen her for a few months, her complexion is so fair, and she is full of energy.

At that moment, Youshi couldn't hold back his mouth, and said on the spot, "Hey, why is the eldest lady suddenly wearing such pink and tender clothes. The clothes and jewelry are all the latest styles. It seems that the elder has loved you a lot recently."

The yellow accent in the words was teasing, if Mrs. Xing was around all the time, she would be flushed with embarrassment.

The two juniors, Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng, looked at each other, and their movements of shuffling cards became smaller.

Now Mrs. Xing, at any rate, is someone who has pissed off the old lady and hasn't been punished. He is so confident that he can be called a thick-skinned city wall, but You's is not enough to make her afraid, so he just said back, "Of course, my master I can choose anything in the storeroom, there are still a pile of moon-white and blue-green ones, and the best fabrics are not used, so they are not wasted.”

"Yo, you still have to take care of yourself, aren't you afraid that people will say that you are old?"

"What am I afraid of? I have to be old first. How old am I? It doesn't matter if I wear bright clothes. My master and old lady don't think there's anything wrong with it, but you still say it." Xing flipped With a supercilious look, he picked up the sieve and threw it away.Here she is the oldest, is there any problem with her at the beginning?

Wang Xifeng sat on the side without speaking, and Qin Keqing sat opposite her, with some questioning eyes.The current eldest wife is far from the previous eldest wife.

But what can Wang Xifeng say?I don't know how the master taught, one or two are thick-skinned, and one or two are full of confidence.Thinking about her pretty sister, Wang Xifeng couldn't help feeling a little guilty.That ghost girl can scare her father now, that's how old she is.

You Shi could feel the toughness of the eldest lady, but he didn't dare to confront her head-on, so he could only hold back and show weakness, "I'm just saying that I'm annoying, since your master and old lady I don’t think there’s anything wrong, what else can I say.”

"Speaking of which, our master brought up this matter."

Wang Xifeng cut the conversation straight away, and said seriously, "You two don't know how much the Elder Master loves our Eldest Wife now, not to mention all the concubines in the backyard have been dismissed, and you are so good as to send things here Well, look, I don’t even have the golden steps on my wife’s head.”

When Mrs. Xing heard this, she couldn't help smiling again. She was obviously happy, but she retorted, "You girl, what you said is too exaggerated."

However, Wang Xifeng was able to start flattering the Xing family, so it can be seen that what she said was true, and the Xing family might have a lot of face at the Eldest Master's place.

Now the whole family of Dafang relies on the old man for their livelihood, and their life is more comfortable than before. Not to mention Xing, the dress of Feng girl is much richer and more compelling than before. The red agate necklace on the neck and the That ruby ​​head the size of a pigeon's egg is really very rich.

"Look, the two of you are living very comfortably now. If you win today, I won't pay a dime. No matter who makes our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law poor." Youshi said this so suddenly, Qin Keqing was embarrassed I have to smile at Wang Xifeng.

It's not the first time Wang Xifeng has dealt with You Shi, the eldest wife usually has the same virtue, a small family has no dowry and no money in hand, so she can't be stingy.

"Okay, but I want to say, which of you two can be poor, hold the entire east courtyard with your hands, and go out to be protected by a dozen people. I think you two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are treacherous, but you can try to plot against our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law." Has."

"By the way, I don't know why your first room suddenly gained momentum? I looked at it, and the second room is more powerful. Could it be because of Yuan Chun?"

Qin Keqing directly opened the topic, as if they were all standing on the same line and asked, "When the matter of Yuanchun was decided, it has become more powerful over there."

"No, Yuanchun's kid is really good. It's rare to get such a neat one in four kings and eight kilometers. It's a waste." Youshi sighed slightly, "It's a pity that the money of our two houses has been splashed."

Wang Xifeng glared coldly and said, "You guys have no sense. Our big house started before Yuanchun! Our big master is very clever and clever. We didn't expect Yuanchun's matter to come to a good end. Take it to heart. Also, the money you put out of your mouth is all money from our big house, and the master's family doesn't even know it."

Qin Keqing frowned, "No, why don't you know? Don't you know everything because you don't care about your family?"

"That's not true. I'm blindfolded and can't hear anything useful. At the beginning, most of the people who followed me came to the East Courtyard, and the rest were almost dismissed. It took about two months. The second wife scanned it twice, and the old lady scanned it twice again, how long can I last with my little connections?"

She didn't even know that Jia Lian was beaten for a long time, let alone now.

"Let's not talk about these unhappy people. If you come here today, I'm afraid you have something to ask. As long as your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't leave the door, if you come here on your own initiative, others will believe me. No purpose." Wang Xifeng looked at Youshi, and then at Qin Keqing, and the posture of interrogation was quite strong.

Qin Keqing smiled slightly, "Second Aunt, you know a lot more. A few days ago, the servants in my house saw you carrying Yingchun out, and they didn't know where they went, so they wanted to ask. After all, she is only 9 years old. I don't think the old lady will know how to do it." Allow her to go out at this time. You also know that our master is the patriarch, and we can't just sit and watch some things."

"That's the reason," You Shi interjected, "If you marry someone decent, it's fine. If you marry someone who won't make it to the table, our master can't let you make such a joke."

Not to mention Wang Xifeng and Xing Shi, even Qin Keqing could hear the meaning in what You Shi said after hearing You Shi's words, and the atmosphere that had finally calmed down was disturbed by her again.

Mrs. Xing can see that this guy is not normal from the beginning to the end today, and he hates her every day. At first, he thought she couldn't see how she dressed as a grandmother. Now that I think about it, this guy's feelings are jealous , I can't see her getting better!

But that's right, who let her have a good life and suddenly escape from the suffering people.

The eldest lady smiled maliciously, "I thought it was something, you want your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to come to the door in person, the girl Yingchun was carried out in a serious way, and the marriage arranged by the master himself, can you miss it? Don't even look at it." Let's see how much dowry we have for the Spring Festival."

The word dowry was pronounced with a little force, and Youshi's face was bruised when he read it. At the beginning, she also had a lot of dowry in Xingshi's family, at least much more than Youshi's.

Seeing that a quarrel was about to start, Wang Xifeng naturally lost interest in playing cards. She looked at Youshi with a bright dissatisfaction. You are the one who came to inquire about the crime, and you asked such an ugly question. Who can give her a good face? , she has such an incredible character!

"But Qing, it's no secret that the one who welcomed the Spring Festival went to the Sibeile Mansion, but the old lady and the second room didn't know about it. What happened in Yuanchun a while ago has already made them very angry. Let them know again. You can’t get angry about this matter.”

"What? Why did you have something to do with Yuanchun again, and you married into Sibeile's mansion, what kind of excitement did you send Yingchun to?" Youshi quite disagreed, "Who doesn't know that Sibeile is so vicious and like a flower?" Siyu's girls are all married together, isn't it a waste? What can I ask for."

At the moment, she didn't want to play cards either, so she shook the cards in her hand and said angrily, "It's not enough for a girl to get in, and I need to get another one. Is your boss's head flooded!"

As soon as she said this, Xing slammed his cards on the spot, with an ugly expression on his face, "Missed? I just like to join in the fun, so I don't know who is more promising than who, our master can squeeze people in, Others have the ability to try it themselves, but they also despise the viciousness of others, whether they are willing to look at you is a problem."

"Okay, okay, everyone has been sent there, why bother with this." Qin Keqing hurriedly stopped to smooth things over, "But if this is the case, are you really planning to completely tear yourself apart with the second room? If they know about this, your Rongfu will be at peace No."

"Can you be afraid of her if you tear your face?" Mrs. Xing rolled her eyes, and Wang Xifeng was speechless when she saw Wang Xifeng. so.

In fact, how could the Eldest Master, who is so afraid of trouble, be able to teach patiently, but he just dismissed it with one sentence.

As long as you don't step on the master's bottom line, the master will take care of things.

At this moment, Mrs. Xing has already figured out the so-called bottom line of the old man. There is almost no bottom line. He doesn't care about murder and arson as long as he is not caught.

But she will not provoke others, a second room is enough for her.

"Let me tell you, our family's Yingchun has gained face. You allow me and Feng girl to go to the mansion tomorrow. If you have the ability, go and try it." Xing said proudly with her chin raised.
