Just as Jia Mu was about to say more, she suddenly saw two little maids standing quietly under the shadows carrying food boxes, so she rested her thoughts for a while, waved her hand and said, "Go." Jiang Ling and the other maid are blessed Putting off the blessing body, walked to Mrs. Wang, opened the food box, placed the snacks inside on the table one by one, and quietly stood aside with her hands down, silent.

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she lost her appetite. She held a piece of pastry, but she didn't move for a long time.

Mother Jia rested for a while, and then said slowly: "You all know the current situation. Most of the accounts in Sister Feng's hands can no longer be kept. The second daughter-in-law, the wives of the high officials in the court, mostly They are all on good terms with you, so you try to ask, what kind of regulations is the Long Live Lord? If the Long Live Lord is on a whim, that's all right; if it affects the future of several men in the house, then it doesn't matter. No matter how many shortfalls there are in the mansion, they have to grit their teeth to make up for it, and they must not damage their reputation."

Mrs. Wang put down the cake and said yes.

Mother Jia's expression softened a little, and she turned her head to Aunt Zhao and said, "Brother Huan, talk fast, you, as an aunt, also have three points of responsibility. From now on, you two will be locked in the courtyard for three months, and then Let me hear you chew your tongues and be careful with your skin. Well, Aunt Zhao, go back to the house, and take Brother Huan back, I have something to say to your wife."

Aunt Zhao gave Mrs. Wang a look of resentment, and left unwillingly.

The room suddenly became quiet.Mother Jia leaned on the soft pillow, closed her eyes and rested her mind, and slightly raised her hand.Mrs. Wang waited for a while without any movement, and leaned on the soft pillow to rest her mind for a while, until she felt her appetite improved, she picked up another piece of pastry and slowly broke it up to eat.

After waiting for a cup of tea, someone outside reported: "Second Grandma Lian is here."

Mrs. Wang's movements froze, and the dim sum that hadn't been eaten shattered into powder between her fingers, and fell into the plate with a rustle.

Mother Jia didn't seem to see this scene, she just nodded slowly towards the door and said, "Let Sister Feng come in."

After a while, two girls in their 20s walked in outside.The one in front hadn't removed her plain clothes, and her hairpins and rings had been completely removed, except for her pair of red phoenix eyes that were slightly sharp, so she was naturally Wang Xifeng.The one in the back is of course Miss Ping'er who serves Wang Xifeng personally.

Jia Mu said again, "Ping'er go down."

Wang Xifeng and Ping'er were both stunned, and Ping'er withdrew. Wang Xifeng greeted both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and said with a smile: "I don't know what orders the old lady and the wife have for calling their granddaughter-in-law to the hall late at night?"

Jia Mu closed her eyes and said slowly: "Second daughter-in-law, you can talk to her."

Madam Wang's complexion changed again, she took a sip of tea from her teacup, and gasped for breath while stroking her chest, before explaining what happened in Rongxi Hall just now, including Mother Jia's rebuke just now. Wang Xifeng said.Just now Jiang Ling was standing outside Rongxi Hall, so naturally he didn't see this scene, but when he heard Mrs. Wang repeating it herself, she still couldn't help being dumbfounded.

The weather in Jia's mansion is about to change.

Wang Xifeng only listened to the beginning, and his complexion changed slightly; after listening to it, his complexion became even more white as snow, without any trace of blood.Before Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she knelt down in front of Jia Mu and cried, "Old Madam, let me tell you, I am doing this for the Rongguo Mansion. You know, there are hundreds of people in this whole mansion, and everyone wants Food and clothing; plus those in the farm, the countryside, and those from my hometown in Jinling, counting a full dozen, thousands of people are not too many. There is a saying that those who spend money spend money like running water, and those who save money work hard to save No less than half a cent. I, half of my life is in the hands of the old lady and the wife, if the sky is really pierced, I, I can't live anymore!"

After speaking, he glanced at Mrs. Wang, his eyes were a little inexplicably dark.

But in the next second, Wang Xifeng hugged Jia Mu and began to cry, her eyes were a little red, but it didn't look like she was really crying.

Mrs. Wang sighed, turned her head to look at Mother Jia, and said in a low voice, "Mother-in-law..."

The call mother-in-law seemed to arouse Jia Mu's thoughts for many years, and even her expression became a little nostalgic, but the crisis in front of her did not allow her to hesitate.Mother Jia reached out, stroked Wang Xifeng's head, and slowly ordered: "Come here, call the eldest daughter-in-law here. After all, she has the name of a mother-in-law, and she can't hide in the house every day to take care of herself. "

After finishing speaking, he said to Mrs. Wang: "From now on, the eldest daughter-in-law will be in charge of the house."

Mrs. Wang's complexion changed suddenly, and she didn't even notice that two pieces of snacks were crushed by the edge of her palm.

Wang Xifeng's crying choked for a while, and gradually became smaller. She glanced at Mrs. Wang again, and her eyes became darker and darker.

Mrs. Wang settled down, and said with a smile: "The daughter-in-law brought a lot of maids, let them go to find her sister-in-law." After saying that, she ordered Jiang Ling to come to her, and asked her to go outside to find Jin Chuan and Yu Chuan, and then Ask Jin Chuan and Yu Chuan to find Mrs. Xing.

Before Jiang Ling could answer, Mother Jia waved her hand and said, "Just now I told all your maids to go back. I'm afraid our mothers are going to stay up late tonight, so the maids in your room should go back earlier. Jiang Ling, go and tell Yuanyang to invite the eldest lady here."

Jiang Ling bowed his head and said yes, then went back with the empty food box.

Mrs. Wang stopped her suddenly: "Wait."

Jiang Ling stopped in his tracks.Seeing Mrs. Wang pushing the dim sum plate, she said, "Take this down too."

She was waiting to answer when Mrs. Wang suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Go to Lixiangyuan to find Miss Baochai, and tell her not to sleep tonight."

Jiang Ling was stunned, but before he could react, Mrs. Wang raised her voice slightly, and said in a weary tone, "The cooks in the mansion are getting more and more careless, and this snack is tasteless, so take it away. Get out."

Jiang Ling raised his eyebrows secretly, then quietly packed up the dishes and left.

She was reluctant to take care of Mrs. Wang and Xue Baochai's affairs, but she still wanted to spread the word.Jiang Ling went outside the hall, found Yuanyang, and repeated Jia Mu's words.Yuanyang stared at her for a long time, pointed at the sky, and whispered: "I can't?... At this hour, I'm afraid the Eldest Master is in the Eldest Wife's room."

Jiang Ling gently pointed inside, and whispered, "It's the old lady's order."

She thought for a while, and then said: "Sister Yuanyang, if you encounter the elder, you might as well avoid it."

Yuanyang let out a soft oh, knowing that Jiang Ling was kind, she thanked her with a smile, and walked towards Mrs. Xing's yard.Thinking of Mrs. Wang's second order, Jiang Ling shrugged again, asked the way to Lixiangyuan, and brought those words to Xue Baochai.Xue Baochai was about to fall asleep, when he heard Jiang Ling's message, he got up and lit a candle, and sat in the room with his coat on and waited.

After Jiang Ling delivered the message, she returned to Rongxi Hall and silently became her wallpaper.According to Mrs. Wang, Jiang Ling and the other little maid were "on duty at night in the house, so they should go back later."But the atmosphere in Rongxi Hall was much more tense than before.

Mrs. Xing is the stepmother, she has been silently serving as the backdrop in Jia's mansion all these years, except for occasional attendance at the wives' banquets, she rarely communicates with others.As for the account books, stewardship, and employment rights of the inner house, it has nothing to do with her.This time, Mother Jia called her to the Rongxi Hall and handed over the housekeeper's power to her.

Coupled with the fact that there was Mrs. Wang next to her with a pale face, and Mrs. Wang Xifeng in front of her with a mournful expression, Mrs. Xing felt even more baffled, and felt a little bit on pins and needles, as if a big hole had been dug ahead and was waiting for her to jump down.

So Mrs. Xing supported her forehead, and said in a weak tone: "Mother-in-law, let me tell you, my daughter-in-law has been really unhappy these two days, and she can't afford the responsibility of being the head of the house. Earlier, Sister Feng was in charge of the house and took care of the entire family. It's all right, no one doesn't appreciate it, even the East Mansion managed to borrow Sister Feng to assist with the funeral ceremony. So the daughter-in-law thought, it's better to leave the matter of running the house with Sister Feng."

Jia's mother held her breath in her chest, she couldn't get up or down, and she was very unhappy.Originally, she wanted to keep this matter in the Rongxi Hall. Only Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan knew about it, so it was over; the more people knew about it, the less secure it was, so she I didn't intend to let Mrs. Xing know.

But who would have thought that Mrs. Xing's lack of cooperation would ruin her event?

Seeing that Jia's mother was silent, Mrs. Xing began to beat her heart more and more.Although she came from a small family, she has lived in the Rongguo Mansion for a long time, and she has also been exposed to many unspoken/rules in the Duke's Mansion. For example, the mother-in-law in front of her is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she shrinks back even more Li said: "Furthermore, I am the successor of the great lord, and I have been in the mansion for a short time. I really can't afford the responsibility of being the head of the house. In this state mansion, the person in charge needs to be kind and powerful, or She is kind and gentle, but a daughter-in-law is not as good as a human being. She can only serve the old man on weekdays, and she is exhausted... Oh, look at my mouth, there is no one to stop it, old lady, look, this, this—"

Mrs. Xing left herself completely in a few words.

Mother Jia held her breath in her chest, feeling more and more tight in her chest.She lowered her head to look at Wang Xifeng, stroked her chest and said slowly: "Okay, okay, since that's the case, then let me work hard for a few more days, my old lady. Sister Feng, you will send all the brochures to my room tomorrow." Come, let the housekeeper and daughters-in-law come over, and they will come to my house to do some work in the future."

He was out of breath for what he said, as if it took a lot of effort.

The Rongxi Hall was in a mess, Mrs. Wang hurried forward, and yelled in a panic, "The old lady can't do it", and Mrs. Xing also hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and even ordered two maids to go out to teach the imperial doctor .Coincidentally, the two maids that Mrs. Xing pointed out were Jiang Ling and the little maid next to her, and they took the empty food box away from the messy Rongxi Hall and went outside to invite imperial physician.

The imperial doctor rushed over quickly, and said that the old lady was not in a good mood, and her health was fine.

Jiang Ling followed the imperial physician and saw Mrs. Wang glaring at Mrs. Xing with dissatisfaction in her eyes.Madam Xing looked like she was alive after a catastrophe, she knelt down in front of Jia Mu and kowtowed repeatedly, until Jia Mu impatiently told her to back down, Madam Xing left with a happy expression on her face.After tossing around like this for most of the night, no one slept well.

It wasn't until Mother Jia went back to rest in the house that Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng left the Rongxi Hall together, her face really sank.
